Question for experts of the series that have also seen the anime series


Hello.

I wanted to ask this to those that are well versed in the series and have also seen the anime adaptation.

The anime adaptation is said to be a combination of remakes of episodes from the first two seasons, one episode that is an adaptation of the prequel comic and the rest are said to be original episodes.

However, sometime back an IMDB user posted in this forum for the Supernatural anime that some of the supposed original episodes are still based on episodes of the live action series. He hasn't come back since so I haven't been able communicate with him about this.

This is what he claimed were the so called "anime original" episodes that were still actually based on episodes from the live action series:


Episode 4 "Ghost On The Highway" is based on Episode 13 of Season 2 "Route 666"

Episode 5 "Savage Blood" is based on Episode 3 "Bloodlust" and Episode 10 "Hunted" from Season 2.

Episode 6 "Till Death Do Us" is based on Episode 5 "Bloody Mary" from Season 1.

Episode 8 "Everlasting Love" is based on Episode 4 "Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things" from Season 2 and Episode 15 "Time Is On My Side" from Season 3.

Episode 9 "The Spirit Of Vegas" is based on Episode 3 "Bad Day At Black Rock" from Season 3.


That leaves episodes Episodes 7 (Temptation of the Demon), 12 (Darkness Calling), 13 (What Lives In The Lake) and 19 (Loser) unaccounted for.

Can those that know the show well see if those 4 episodes are still actually based on episodes from the live action show or are they truly original episodes?

And do you agree that the "anime original" episodes that I named are still based on the existing episodes from the live action series that I listed above?


Thanks in advance.

It's been some time since I last seen the Anime but from what I recall there a handful of episodes that were remade in the anime from the live action show, and a good amount are original as well, I'll say this it can blend in quite well into the live action with these episodes, it would be very believable that the two are connected.
