Suicide Squad Isekai

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.

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.

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.

One of the things I'm sure that people might be thinking is if this is just a cash grab series like the video game Kill The Justice League, which ended up being hated by many fans. I think it's safe to say it kinda is but in a good way. The truth is the Suicide Squad sells and I'm not surprised Wit Studio and Warner Bros decided to try to capitalize on this. It's definitely a lot better than the game. Harley is very much a mix of the classic version and the new version. Clayface, Peacemaker, and Deadshot are all entertaining to watch. And Kingshark is basically always eating people which is pretty funny.

The voice acting is good and the music is energetic and fun. The story itself isn't super complex but theres some interesting world building and the characters are definitely entertaining to watch. The animation is good, something that Wit Studio has always done pretty well with. It's not going to be the best anime of the year, but it's not going for that. The writers are making this for easy viewing and entertainment. It's pretty good overall and I recommend to anyone wanting to just watch something fun and laid-back. Not everything has to be serious, sometimes a little Isekai with Harley Quinn is all you need.

Give it a go, it's worth it.

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.
