History Anime / Supernatural

* TheOtherDarrin: JensenAckles only dubs Dean in the final two episodes of the series (Jared Padalecki is Sam throughout).

* AdaptationDyeJob: Anime Dean has black hair. Fangirls have been known to argue over whether Live Action Dean's hair is brown or blond, but they can probably agree it's not black.

* TheStinger: One in each episode. Sometimes irrelevant (a funny moment or the scene where the townsfolk wave goodbye) and sometimes vital to the next episode (like the end of "Devil's Trap").

* PragmaticAdaptation: Most episodes that are taken whole cloth from the live action show, such as "The Alter Ego" ("Skin") and "Moonlight" ("Heart"), have at least one change to them to help maintain suspense and the plot twists. Exactly how successful these changes are [[YourMileageMayVary varies]] from episode to episode.

* TheStinger: One in each episode.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Dean randomly dances around while the boys wait to see if Madison's lycanthropy has been cured.

Supernatural: The Animation retells the story of the main series' first two seasons, [[AdaptationExpansion with some new stories thrown in for good measure]]. However, most of the series is at least ''somewhat'' based off episodes from the live action show.

* MissedHimByThatMuch: In a flashback episode where Sam is still at college, Dean and their father work a case revolving around Jess, his girlfriend. Rather than disrupt his life again, they decide to just proceed with the case. This involves a lot of Sam barely missing seeing his father or his brother, getting to a ridiculous IdiotBall level when they are one aisle over in the library and '''''he doesn't notice a single thing.''''' (Why they don't all team up when Sam ''himself'' starts investigating is another question entirely.)

* RedOniBlueOni: As you can see from the page picture, the official website takes it literally.
