Word of God Watches the Supernatural Anime Episode A ”The Alter Ego,” ”Roadkill,” and ”Home”

Welcome back to Word of God!

We are: Ash (the old-time fan), Emma (the latecomer), and Wyatt (the newbie). We're digesting this show in chunks of about two episodes a week.

But right now, we're doing things a little differently. In solidarity with the SAG-AFTRA strikes, we are not promoting struck content or struck platforms, which includes the CW and Supernatural. Doesn't mean the Supernatural Anime though :) Go here for the full post on it.

Today, we talk about the first three episodes of the anime: "The Alter Ego," "Roadkill," and "Home."
