Isekai Suicide Squad

TLDR
If you're looking for a very well animated action packed show with the stupidest story imaginable, this is right there for you, and that's exatly what I expected from it.

-------------------------------------------------------------

This show's plot makes absolutely no sense, it's even very stupid at times, and the ending is really dumb, but what else are you expecting from an anime about the suicide squad being thrown into another world? A world that is more generic than vanilla ice cream at that.

I came into this expecting dumb fun and what I got was exactly what I expected, this is an amazingly animated, action packed adventure with the dumbest plot ... imaginable, but that still beats 90% of Isekai coming out. But I cannot enphasize enough how boring the world is, it's SO GENERIC.

Watch it if you're in the mood for some dumb fun with a lot of Harley Queen sakuga.

This is a good isekai for people who think they don't like isekai (Which includes me). The animation is quite good. The character design is excellent and probably the best part of the show. It is also probably a better Suicide Squad adaptation than we got in either movie or the super-hyped-up video game. Clayface, who seems to be the only character who really understands what it means to be isekai'd, which can be pretty funny. Also, this depiction of Clayface is better because he retains his identity of Basil Karlo, a famous Hollywood actor, and is not just a monster. Problems with this series ... are that it has a pretty shallow plot, and there is never any real peril, but it is still a fun watch. I would watch a season 2.

To think that one of the most prominent anime studios would think it's a great idea to implement Western-made characters and be put into an Asian trope-y concept though the isekai stories all set in European-named empires or kingdoms...well it's a one-off benefit show in terms of "turn off your brain to enjoy the show" method if you ask me.

Isekai Suicide Squad may not be enjoyable if you expect the storytelling to be any different in a Japanese-made premise. In fact, it's got to be one of the dumbest decisions Warner Bros or specifically the production executives back in Japan to be made in anime ... form. I can see that this kind of series is recommended to DC diehard fans, particularly if they like the Suicide Squad comic books very much. Non-DC characters tend to be written with predictable stereotypes seen in isekai tropes.

As for the twists, it's nothing groundbreaking as long as you know that the most maniac character is meant to be crazily(?) portrayed that way. I'm just glad it's over, but I definitely don't want to see another season renewal. And hopefully me saying this will not be jinxed seeing how DVD sales still matter back in Japan. At least I can forgive WIT studio for animating their other current series that emphasizes the concept of absurdity in a good way unlike this Warner Bros' "wasted resources on unimaginative concepts" series.

Although it seems like a great idea to make an anime with the Suicide Squad characters, the application they made with this 'pile of nothing' they produced is useless.
Although the animation is good, it still has its flaws—deformed faces at times, lines that don't match the rest of the scene, and changes in art style in the middle of scenes. These are all somewhat subtle issues, but they create a strange feeling, and once you notice them, it's hard not to.
Finally, let's talk about the story. It fails to stay consistent, sets a rule and then simply forgets it ... the next moment, doesn't apply continuity in a decent way, has scene changes at inconvenient times, doesn't revisit interesting plot points when it should, and ultimately fails to keep the story engaging for the viewer.

The most overused dc team is now an anime :)

Plot: 5/10
The united states run out of countries to take oil from so they send the suicide squad to another world with bombs on their necks since the previous team run away in this other world.
The suicide squad is now trapped in said world (most generic shit to ever exist its the aether mod from minecraft on easy difficulty and most features removed) and they have to fight in a war between wolve monsters and humans for the humans ofc...

Animation: 6/10
The 1st episode had a very weird fight between harley and ... wich wasnt all that ... epic and the logic behind it went out of the window thankfully the animation and fights improve on the later episodes.

Characters: 5/10
Suicide Squad, do i need to say more?

Overall (5/10)
Another generic isekai with the a very overused DC team if a video game, 2 movies and 2 animated movies in the last 10-12 years werent enough now we have also an isekai... it should have been the teen titans or any other team

The original concept had a lot of potential, especially with the collaboration between East and West, and if any DC group could embrace the isekai genre, it would be the Suicide Squad. With the scenario written by the Re:Zero author and animation by Studio Wit, it seemed like nothing could go wrong. However, the show plays it too safe with these concepts, resulting in a very mediocre outcome. I suspect this project was greenlit to promote a video game that also flopped, making it seem like this squad is cursed.

There’s no blood, gore, or the usual anti-hero antics you’d expect; instead, the show feels more ... like Suicide Squad 2016 than the James Gunn reboot. Most of the squad members act like teenage delinquents rather than actual villains, although the changes to Clayface's personality are interesting, and Jun Fukuyama's voice acting really enhances the character. But beyond that, the show doesn’t offer much.

The world-building feels barebones, with kingdom that seems just big enough for the squad to come in and save the day, rather than being part of a fully realized world. The conflict also feels forced, as it’s clear that most characters on both sides don't really want to fight, let alone kill each other. The Joker in this anime comes off as edgy, losing the charm that made him the Clown Prince of Crime, though that’s just my opinion. The animation isn’t great either; it’s obvious that the production team prioritized certain episodes and scenes over others, making some episodes, especially in the first half, hard to watch.

Amanda Waller's actions don’t make much sense either; she’s portrayed as a mastermind controlling everything, but when you think about it, her actions have little impact and seem more like plot devices. Overall, while the show is easy enough to watch and hints at a second season, I wouldn't be surprised if public disappointment shuts it down for playing it too safe with the material.

This anime despite all it's flaws, ended up being a really fun watch. That being said, I can't look over said flaws. Let's starts with the inconsistent animation an art style, some of these characters look like they're from completely different shows. If you put Harley Quinn and Deadshot or Clayface side by side, it looks like they came from alternate universes. Now the animation, I get it was most likely budget cuts, but the fight scenes in the beginning and middle portion looked like they were either missing frames or just slow in general. Thankfully, when they start fighting with other DC villains, the ... fight scenes increase tenfold and have way more of that Studio WIT charm we all expected.

Now the characters, other than Harley Quinn, I couldn't really get invested in anyone else apart of the squad. Clayface is an actor and references media and tropes, that's about all they do with him. Peacemaker is straight-faced and stoic, but can get scary. Deadshot is.. I can't really explain him, he seems like the straight man of the group I guess. and King Shark is..well, a shark that is always hungry. Along with the main group, there is also other DC villains thrown into this isekai world that are also part of the suicide squad comics such as Enchantress and Katana. They're fine, I guess. They don't have any major role other than being an obstacle later on.

Now let's get into the big reason why this show isn't as good as people anticipated, the actual isekai part. It. is. boring. As the suicide squad find a battle between human soldiers and orcs, they decide to intervene and kill all the orcs. However, since they can't communicate with them, the soldiers capture them and throw them in prison. They meet the queen and her daughter, they participate in some fights for the kingdom, and then they get thrown in jail again. rinse and repeat until the last few episodes of the series. The people from the isekai world are just so. freaking. boring. they don't like the otherworlders, except for the daughter of the queen. That's about it.

the pros like I mentioned are definitely the last 4 episodes, they go all out with the animation and fanservice for DC fans. The music is a plus too, the ending is by Vtuber Mori Calliope and it's a super fun song, the opening is pretty unique too, doing a more Baccano approach where it's just an instrumental, except instead of jazz, it's music you'd hear from a superhero action scene.

Is this show worth watching? I'd say so, not for the plot, but for the action. My expectations were let down a bit, this was not nearly as good as I was hoping, but it's a fun watch. it's only 10 episode long too, so you can probably finish it in a day if you had the time.

What do you get, when you base an anime on a messy live action movie, use its characters, rewrite them to fit tropes, and throw them into a generic isekai setting? The answer: A mess, that's called Isekai Suicide Squad.

In short the plot is at the beginning: Force bad guys with bomb collars to help a kingdom in distress to secure resources. Later on there are some twist and turns, that don't make sense. Some characters get random power ups some don't, for whatever reason some have magical affinity some don't. The writing is not the only thing that is inconsistent, the animation also does ... its part: Sometimes it's a pure sakugafest (like episode 7) and other times it's a mess.

As a guy, who liked the animated batman series and the animated suicide squad movies, I can't recommend this anime for fans in that regard. The characters are a complete joke: Amanda Waller, who is a very calculating threat, is here an idiot in regards who she gave a bomb collar. Deadshot is a joke, Peacemaker is just there, Killer Croc is so unremarkable my mate and I thought he would be just a random boss lizardman. Some of the antagonist characters sort of fulfill their role as villain of the day decently. The main antagonist on the other hand, hoo boy, is completely retarded, as she could've won before the anime even started. The kingdom characters are also nothing special: The most prominent of them like the princess is just an insecure nice girl and the hero, is a walking incompetent weak ass punching bag. The only characters I kind of liked, where King Shark, Clayface and Harley. King Shark is kind of an adorably dangerously dummy. Clayface is a flamboyant pop-culture nerd, which kindof works. Last but not least the star of the entire project, Harley Quinn, is overall a wacky nutjob, but a bit more pg and moral (still I don't like the portrayal of her relationship with Joker here). Speaking of Joker, I absolute despise him, he should not be a "sexy" romanceable/romantic nutjob!

All said and done, if you want a "turn your brain off"-action show with a couple of wacky characters this show can be for you. Otherwise, if you want something more, don't watch it. 4+/10

Isekai Suicide Squad is an anime that had a very big potential but didn’t use it. From the start we have already characters that a lot of people love and you don’t need to spent time to write new once’s so you can put all of your effort to the story. But they didn’t.

The story feels to rushed and not complete even if we gonna get the second season is still feels empty. We did have a good start about sending supervillains to another world for a mission even tho I was not always happy with what’s going on it was decent and a lot ... of people can enjoy it. We meet characters from another world, the squad get into problems and we learn new things about this new world ,after this I did feel like the middle we did have unnecessary episode for an anime that already gonna be short we only have 10 ep which is very short for spending whole ep for nothing. Towards the end the story start to get to a point and the fights were great I did enjoy them but here the biggest problem is start to show itself. Rushed and not complete story. Anime just started to throw everything in the last 3 ep without explaining why,who,were etc. The things that were plot twist was just moments that was not explained to usat all we didn’t expect them because we did have zero idea about them. For me this type of plot twist just lazy and uninteresting the villians was boring and I just didn’t care about them. To finish my take on story it did had a potential but that’s all.

The best part of this anime was main characters the Squad was great they were funny and interesting. Even tho they already existing characters still thanks for not ruining them. They are bot the best versions of themselves in DC universe but a good once’s King Shark was just perfect zero flaws best character.

The animation had lacked in some ep but it did have very good moments to so I was happy with it in the end.

If you wanna enjoy this anime you should see it as an medicore isekai with very great characters from the start. If you can ignore some stupid moments that sometimes writers just not explaining things to us and focus on fight I think people who likes isekai gonna enjoy it. Good fights and good main cast if you wants this yea its definitely for you.

Suicide Squad Isekai is a roller coaster of feelings. Its good in some parts and sadly doesn't do well for others. But in the end, it was focused on fun and that's something I think people should look towards about it. Animation is great, but sometimes takes a little nose dive before picking back up again. The soundtrack is nice, and the characters are enjoyable to watch when they have dumb discourse. Peacemaker was my favorite.

If you want some stupid fun, then this is your show. If you strive for better, there's a lot more out there for you and you should pounce at ... the opportunity to find those.

For my first and probably only Isekai, this was cool :)

This is a fairly well-animated show with an amazing English dub cast. The animation can sometimes look off but all around is very good and Harley in particular has never been animated any better. Even if the writing doesn't click and isn't to your liking there have been entertaining action segments in every episode thus far. The cast dynamics have been really enjoyable; Harley and Deadshot in particular have had great team synergy and comedic chemistry.

It is very cheesy though and for some people that might be a turn-off and it is as of yet missing the edginess that accompanied that cheesiness in other recent ... suicide squad media. I don't mind this one bit as the jokes aren't that big of a problem to me; Even when they don't land because of how hard the voice actors are working here and the action is present throughout the show. Admittedly, the writing is very basic and predicatable. Also that ending song animation is yikes, I don't think I have cringed this hard in a while.

The main story being like this isn't that much of a problem for me and I think everybody expected that as it seemed obvious from the get-go, the character dynamics, action, and performances carry this show and I do believe these aspects will keep me going till the end but that is also because I don't have any other priority on my backlog. I believe what sets this show apart the most is that it is such a deep breath of fresh air because of how insanely saturated the superhero genre has become this decade. Even if the main narrative is fairly generic, at least, this is a very unique take for a superhero production.

It was very good for the first half, and I really enjoyed it. It was fun and quirky seeing how the suicide squad reacted to this new situation they found themselves in. It felt rather fresh, and novel compared to the many many regular old isekai. But the second half didn't really hit as hard. It wasn't bad, it was just mediocre or okay. I'd say it is worth starting, but finishing it is up to you. Harley pretty much carried the show. Joker was absent for all of it except a few scenes. The other suicide squad members felt more like supporting characters to ... Harley. Other than the mud-man and the shark man who had some fair presence and running gags, the rest were somewhat forgettable in terms of presence when placed next to Harley. The isekai world while quite visually interesting and not like a normal game starter town, there was minimal world building/lore and character design/depth. Though this is to be expected since the focus is on the suicide squad rather than developing an in depth isekai world to get people heavily invested in its world.

I was expecting a pretty bad anime here, but I was pleasantly surprised.

Isekai Suicide Squad surprised me not in its narrative development or its complexity, but in how well it managed to work on its "lack of quality". The anime was born to be a big joke and, knowing this, it played with its mistakes in a relaxed way. Maybe it was an unplanned shot, but it hit the target.

Regarding the story, it follows that of an Isekai, but with that hint of American narrative, which is fair considering where the anime is based and I say that it worked minimally well.

In technical aspects, ... the direction is nothing special, but the animation surprises in several moments, elevating the experience of clearly idiotic scenes.

It's still a very questionable anime and you may not have the same patience as I did to face it, but if you want to watch an anime just to clear your head, this could be one of the choices. But there are better ones.

Suicide Squad Isekai is not Warner Bros. first go around at an anime featuring its characters. There is already the memorable Batman Ninja.

However, it is the first time it combined the popular isekai genre with these assholes, pardon the language, from the Suicide Squad.

So, it has your Japanese occidentalist fantasy setting, with elves, beatmen, dragons, and a whole lot of magic. It even has a loli death god for a final boss. The American contribution is the ultraviolence this particular set of characters have a penchant for. This version of the Squad even have their own magical girl transformation scene.

The animation is ... superb, about as well as can be expected from the Studio Wit. The producers must pull out the stops because this is a collaboration that can’t fail.,

However, the story is all over the place. There are several story points that remain unresolved, and it felt like the plot was just going around in circles. It is not as obvious when you are watching an episode weekly, but when you are binge watching, it will feel repetitive at times.

This is a good show to watch with your brain off and just enjoy the quality animation poured into it. If you are a DC comics fan who enjoys a bit of guilty pleasure isekai stories, this is for you. If you want to watch the hypnotic Amanda Waller dance number at the end credits, give in and enjoy it.
