Escuadrón Suicida Isekai

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.

Coming from someone who enjoys James Gunn's Suicide Squad and watches a lot of anime, let me say it doesn't do either well. It was like watching a Saturday morning cartoon with animation only passable for children. The fight scenes were clunky and uninspired. The story was rushed and frankly uninteresting. And the characters were widdled-down versions of their DC selves. Was it terrible? No. God knows I've seen worse shows. But it was grotesquely mid. I relate it to Nickelback who tried to mix hard rock and country and couldn't really do either. So yeah, this show is for children and Nickelback fans. You decide which one you are.

It was enjoyable. I laughed several times. If you go in thinking it will be like the movie or the comic, you will be disappointed.

I really like the character redesigns. Clayface is just great in this version. I really like what they did with the Joker. Music is good. All and all a bit ridiculous at times and little strange, but it's fun. I'm sure not everyone is going to like it. It is more Anime, than DC.

The only major downside is that they didn't dub everything being said or bother to put up subtitles when they didn't. At some point they just stopped dubbing it entirely. I don't know if they are still adding them but after about 8 episodes, be prepared to read subtitles.

"Suicide Squad Isekai" is a unique fusion of the Suicide Squad's chaotic energy with the fantastical elements of an isekai world. The series stands out for its unique premise, stylish animation, and silly humor mixed in. Harley Quinn's voice actor shines brilliantly, bringing a dynamic and energetic performance that captures Harley's manic charm and carefree nature. It blends a bit of the classic Harley Quinn that old-school fans are used to with the modern style that was made famous by Margot Robbie.

In general, the voice acting for all the characters so far is well done. The story is decent though ultimately it's the humor and crazy antics of the squad that make it an entertaining series.

Overall, "Suicide Squad Isekai" is a fresh and fun take on the franchise, well worth a watch for fans and newcomers alike. I say give it a shot!

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.
