Escuadrón Suicida Isekai

I truly was hoping I would be able to side with the high reviews for this show, but it's just so awful on every level. The animation is bad, the voice acting is bad, the story is bad...it's all bad. I speak Japanese so after the first episode I switched from the English version to the Japanese. While this did improve things it just wasn't worth it for me to hang in on this one. The intros and outros are blatant rip offs of Cowboy Bebop. The only positive I can give it is the artwork/style of it is sleek and nice to look at but a bad show is a bad show.

I gave up 3-4 episodes in. If you know nothing about Suicide Squad or decent Japanese anime you might enjoy this.

Fun show that knows about everything isekai and uses the tropes perfectly. The show strikes a great balance of fights and comedy for me.

As a lover of anime and DC cartoons this was the perfect combination for me and I was not dissapointed.

Only critique I have is that DC should stop relying so heavily on Harley Quinn. She is a fun/amazing character but it's getting kind of tired. That said, she fits perfectly here and I wish she got to use more of the worlds magic for silly things. I do wish however we got more screentime for world building. An establishment of the rules of the new world is a part I enjoy about isekai.

I'd definitely recommend this show, even if you dont enjoy anime and are just a regular DC fan there will still be enough to enjoy in this show.

Highly recommend for any Suicide Squad / Peacemaker / Harley Quinn fans

I'm shocked DC opted for such good animation considering their style(s) prior! This storyline looks promising and really opens up the door to getting to know the characters personalities. It wouldn't be worth a damn without some really decent fight scenes and dashes of humor peppered throughout.

(Written First 3 episodes in)

The characters are all enhanced and their powers are stronger, even non metas, due to being in another world so I can't wait to see where they take this. If the anime style isn't your get down I would still recommend trying out the first 2 episodes and decide from there bc I think you'll be pleasantly surprised how enjoyable it is.

The only good thing about this anime is the drawing (not the animation).

Here are some synonyms for mediocre: Alright, Okay, Ordinary, Common, Average (this show is below average), Indifferent, Middle-Of-The-Road, Middling, Medium, Moderate, Everyday, Tolerable, Passable (5/10), Adequate, Second-Rate, Uninspired, Unexceptional, Unexciting, Unremarkable, Run-Of-The-Mill, Pedestrian, Prosaic, Lacklustre, Forgettable, So-So, Bog-Standard, Plain, Half-Pie, Dull.

I hope you learn something from this review because I sure did. My vocabulary expanded greatly thanks to this anime and I'll be able to describe other similar shows better in the future.

You have to watch this anime given expectations of what this is. It's an anime about Suicide Squad in an isekai. This anime is very clearly not taking itself very seriously and not looking to be anything groundbreaking. The more you just play along with the insanity the more fun and enjoy it you'll have.

The plot is fairly simply and standard for an isekai. Nothing revolutionary. As for its faithfulness to the DC source material, I would say it's like fairly loose with the characters. The background and overall feel of the characters stay pretty much in tact, but the writers definitely took liberties with their character personality at times. I would say try not to be a diehard DC fan while watching this. If you are going to get agitated with your favorite characters being different from the Comics, you should probably stay away form this show.

As for the animation for the first season, I will say that the animation is fairly rough for the first 5 episodes, especially that 5th episode (yikes). However, it would seem the animation budget went into the last 5 episodes, as Wit Studios really kicked it up a notch with the animations, so don't get to discouraged about the animations after watching the first 5 like most of the reviewers.

Overall, it was a fun 10 episodes to watch. It doesn't take itself very seriously and neither should you when watching it. If you have nothing to watch and want something to pass the time, I would say give this a crack especially given it's currently only 10 episodes.
