"Bow-hunting is an important skill!"

[rogueslayer452]

Dean Winchester says this line during the first season, though we've never seen them bow-hunting. Or any kind of uses of such weaponry besides the guns and knives they have.

I honestly think it would be pretty cool to see them wielding over weapons and arsenal besides the same old guns and tricks. If this season is all about getting "back to the basics" as they claim, I would like more extension to the hunting business; preferably with different techniques different hunters use. This makes me think about my ideas for an international look at this business, since different cultures use different kinds of weapons and how to use them; imagine Japanese hunters as opposed to Western hunters we normally see handling particular situations and their own tactics and methods, and seeing how effective they are. I think it would be pretty nifty. Then again I tend to look beyond what the show has given us, which makes me hungry for something more than what we're limited to (or what the writers fail to acknowledge or bring up ever again, as they often do, but I digress). There's definitely unique and different kinds of creatures and monsters elsewhere, as evidenced from this current season during "Weekend at Bobby's", so it would be nice to get a glimpse into other cultures and how they handle their own monsters.

These are just some thoughts I've been having. I often look at the bigger picture of the universe they are in, which is something I wish the show would take more seriously. *shrugs*

That would have been amazing to be honest. I really want there to be more focus on different hunters. Especially hunters from different places such as Japan, that would be awesome to see. I mean yeah we get it, the Winchesters are the main focus of the show, but it's not always about them you know. And when you turn that show into an anime I'm sure there are other places you can explore that the original show couldn't.

Perhaps if the DVD sales for the anime do well they can go further in that department? including giving us some ANGEL AND HEAVEN ACTION!

Count me in. When I first heard about the anime I really hoped it would last long enough for the angels (at least Cas) to show up so we could see angel wings in anime form; they could make them look awesome because they wouldn't have to worry about a special effects budget.

My thoughts exactly. I hope that if the sales for this one go well that maybe they'll consider doing a second series, one with the angels and the Heaven arc? Because I would love to see their rendition of the angels without budget issues, along with giving us an actual apocalyptic battle that the show utterly failed at giving us.

'Because I would love to see their rendition of the angels without budget issues, along with giving us an actual apocalyptic battle that the show utterly failed at giving us.'

I would like to see that too. Anything involving the angels (I hope they don't mess with Cas' character design too much) and the apocalypse is fine by me.

Regarding character designs, they did say that Sam and Dean were going to be based off the actors whereas everyone else featured are original constructs. So perhaps they might give their own personal interpretation of Castiel if they ever get to do that.

(though I would hope they would go for Kripke's description for reference, very Constantine-like)

True. He just wouldn't be the same without the brown tench coat. Although I really hope they don't give him John's blond hair- that would just be asking for the fangirls to make him into a weeping uke/woobie (more so than they already do).
