Suicide Squad Isekai

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.

When I saw this as "recently added" last year on Max, I was so hyped! I love DC, and I like (not love...just like) anime. I just started watching the Harley Quinn cartoon last year, and in general, I do love my DC animations since I grew up with them. They were a big part of my childhood. I was expecting this anime to have a DC vibe gone Japanese. You know the best of both worlds. The voice acting was pretty good. But my least favorite was Harley's.

In the middle of the show I thought to myself "Sooo um what the hell was the point of the Suicide Squad???!". This anime could've replaced the DC characters with any other characters from any universe. For me, I think that this anime would've been so much fun and engaging if they took villains (well-known or overlooked) from multiple genres of anime and had them in an Isekai setting.

I hoped the humor would be like that of the Harley Quinn animation! But there is some decent humor in this anime, and I did laugh out loud a few times. I was somewhat entertained, but I wanted that DC feel from it, you know?? That WAS the reason why I watched this anime. There were thrills and there was tension, but I couldn't get that vibe from the anime. I saw it, but I was not feeling it, you know? I enjoyed the fantasy world they were in (yeah I can't remember the name), and the storytelling was interesting, but at the end I no longer cared about the anime as a whole. I signed out.

Overall I was entertained but not completely satisfied. I could've skipped this one.

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.

"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!

OH Yeah, I totally get it if some ppl don't like this. There has been quite a bit of Suicide Squad content the last few years. From the 2016 movie to the sequel a few years back. Birds of Prey might as well be a Suicide Squad movie but with the ladies. And then there's to majority criticized Kill The Justice League game, which ultimately left a sour taste in the majority of the fandom's mouths.

All this said, I would not be surprised if a majority of people disliked this. The series is nothing amazing. It's not trying to be the next Demon Slayer or One Piece. It's just an entertaining Suicide Squad series set in an anime setting, using the typical Isekai concept that anime fans know all too well.

But here's the truth, from a person who feels the same and most people about all the above.

Its good. Not great. But good.

The first episode is nothing to rave about. But the next three episodes especially the 4th one is the reason why I'm continuing the series. The voice actors are doing an awesome job, some of them seasoned VAs from popular anime that we all love. The story isn't perfect but having watched the last two episodes I can see a good story forming and the world is starting to come together.

I highly recommend fellow anime fans give this series a chance. It's worth it. Harley, Kingshark, Peacekeeper, and even Deadshot all get some funny moments and ultimately the anime is really just about the Suicide Squad getting into trouble and causing a little bit of chaos and violence.

I say, try it with an open mind. It's not bad at all.
