BEEN REALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE QUALITY OF ANIME STORYLINES IN THE LAST DECADE? MAYBE THIS'LL LIGHT THAT DWINDLING FLAME.
This is real ladies and gentlemen. Our boys, Jensen and Jared, even confirmed the project themselves while at Rising Con Spain 2010.
The characters are being designed to look like their actors. Though it seems like all other character will be handled differently(in appearance apparently) for a fresh touch.
The characters will be voiced by the same Voice-Actors who do the voice-overs for the live-action show in Japan.
Well, this could either go really good or really bad. I'm both intrigued and a bit afraid at the idea of them toying with other characters in appearance, though I do understand; both why they're doing it and why I'm feeling a little afraid.
I personally, as it is for most others, am ingrained with these characters; that my love for what they are blinds me from seeing the potential of what they could be. This tends to be the case with people who are accustom to 'original' version of songs and movies and television shows. They are so comfortable and ingrained with how they were that they can't let go of that and see the potential of the new.
I'm looking forward to seeing what comes of this little project. How often to American television series get turned into an Anime? No, I'm being serious. It's an actual question that I am honestly interested in knowing the answer to if anyone knows it.
More Sixth Season Speculation.
Our buddy Ausiello over at EW.com gives us a definite 'a sure thing' regarding the sixth season of Supernatural. Exciting right? Right. But isn't it enough with the speculation already? Sure we get it. Supernatural, definitely getting a sixth season. But instead of constantly posting speculations can we finally just sit back and wait for the confirmation from The CW? I'm a lover of the show- obsesser, even- but I'm tired of reading speculation, so let's just wait for the real thing.
Casting Spoiler
Not always the reliable source, but IMDB.com gives us a little casting spoiler for episode 5.16 'Dark Side of the Moon'. It would appear that the ever talented Traci Dinwiddie will be reprising her role as everyone's favorite psychic, Pamela Barnes.
(Whatever happened to Missouri?)
Back in January our most recent and awkwardly helpful demon, Crowley, or rather his actor Mark Sheppard, tweeted to all us fans that he was going to be returning to the show. For fans of this very Good Omens-esque Crowley, we have a few more specifics thanks to Maureen Ryan, The Watcher, over at the Chicago Tribune. Our good buddy Crowley, if there was ever that kind of demon, is slated to appear in episode 20(101) of season 5-- "and don't be surprised if Crowley is around for more than one episode."
I feel a little tingly.
DigitalSpy.com brings us a cast spoiler. For fans of the show EastEnders prepare for a treat. EE actor Adam Croasdell is on board for a future episode in which the 29-year-old actor will be playing Baldr(Baldur, Balder), the Norse god of light.
Outside Supernatural
Curious about what the Boys Jackles are doing outside of Supernatural in their professional lives? Well ladies and Gentlemen, fanboys and fangirls, the Los Angeles Times tells us our ghost busting hottie Jensen Ackles will be lending that sweet voice to the likes of Bruce Timm and Brandon Vietti in the upcoming animated feature and newest installment in Batman, Batman: Under the Red Hood as a title character the Red Hood.
Written by Judd Winick, this installment is based on his 2005 Batman Comic storyline. In this Batman will be facing up to another vigilante, Red Hood, who doesn't seem to mind racking up the body count. This "violent look into the crime on the streets" will be executive produced by Bruce Timm and directed by Superman Doomsday co-director Brandon Vietti.
Ackles will be joining the voice talents of Bruce Greenwood, Neil Patrick Harris, John DiMaggio and Jason Isaacs.
Cast and Crew

The Ride to Conquer Cancer is two-days cycling from Vancouver to Seattle and takes place in June. If you wish to support him visit his page: Kevin Parks.
and finally... A Word from Our Boys
It's no secret that there are people out there who'd love to take advantage of our dedication and admiration for the Boys Jackles on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. Well, they just want you to know that it's not them. Keep it in mind when that guy you're talking to says he's Jared or Jensen.
We're sure they'd be ever grateful if you'd pass the message along.
