Suicide Squad ISEKAI Anime Series Trailer Review
So what is there to say about the Suicide Squad ISEKAI announcement trailer for its upcoming anime series? Being a big fan of anime, the isekai genre, and DC Comics characters; I can say I am pretty hyped up for this anime. This is not the first time that popular Western comics characters are used by Japanese animation studios to make an anime (movie or series); Marvel Future Avengers and Batman Ninja are two recent titles that comes to mind. What is new though is the ISEKAI aspect of it. While there has been an oversaturation of anime and manga titles that uses this storytelling trophe (Overlord, Jobless Reincarnation, Log Horizon, Konosuba, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime), none of it used established character from popular and notable Western counterparts. This upcoming anime series from Warner Bros. Japan and WIT Studio delves into the idea of what if DC Comics' Suicide Squad got transferred, teleported, or reincarnated into another world or "isekai-d". How will this group comprising of anti-heroes or villains (depending on how you view them) handle a fantastical world full of magic and supernatural creatures, which if we think about it, it's not that far off from the usual world and cities they came from (Gotham City, Central City, Metropolis, etc.).
From how it looks on the trailer, the world they will be teleported into is a world full of magical beasts including dragons, orcs, knights and magic. The big question is will Amanada Waller and Joker be also teleported to the world as they seem to be in the real world. Harley Quinn has been the face of the Suicide Squad and she is beautifully animated, thank to WIT Studio. Which members of the Suicide Squad will join her and am curious as how they would look like as well (I am particularly looking forward to King Shark). Hopefully, there is a tight script and a good reason as to why they will do what they do. A group of unlikely allies operating under a common goal (not dying). I will be monitoring updates regarding Suicide Squad ISEKAI and hopefully it will be a good one.
