First three episodes have an advance release on Hulu / Max. Each subsequent episode is to be streamed 23 days in advance of the TV broadcast on Hulu / Max.

There are two things that you'd never think would collide, DC and anime... even worse, an ISEKAI... Brought to you not only by the goats over at WIT, but also written by Re:Zero's author, Tappei Nagatsuki and the writer of 2021's Vivy... One hell of a ride this'll be.

Harley Quinn as a waifu... in all my life as an anime fan, this is something I never expected to see nor be saying. Yet here we are. Gotta say off the bat, they nailed these character designs to perfection. Legit looks just like the comic counterpart just in anime form. Hell I'd say this is better than most adaptions of the Suicide Squad recently. Animation looks stellar as well, to no ones surprise. Entire fight between Harley and Katana was amazing.

Introduction to all the Suicide Squad went exactly like how in the movie too lmao. Same explanation too, bomb in head yada yada. Though ofc the thing to set this apart is the whole thing with the isekai setting. Deadshot as badass as ever, and Peacemaker THE GOAT, too. Don't disrespect King Shark either. And ofc, if it was out of anyone to be a nerd and explain to them what an 'isekai' is it'd be Clayface.

Alright start, I mean this is legit most isekai's we get just this time with DC characters... should be fun. Bring on more!

A pretty good start, the animation didn’t disappoint, story and characters introduction done well enough and each characters exude their own kind of fun.

What wackiness the squad up to next is something to look forward to.

@Marinate1016 Was under the impression that Ninja Batman was the only other DC anime out there lol mb. And most people like to not remember it too much, for better or for worse. I'll take the Gotham Knight recc tho thx.

Felt kind of weird.

The animation felt lacking at times like in that Harley-Katana fight and the battle scenes between the fantasy world humans and hogs, but I began to enjoy it a lot once the other squad members were introduced and they had they had their own fight with the hogs. I enjoyed the interactions between the team members.

First 3 eps were pretty solid. Animation in ep 1 & 3 were very good. Sad the production isn’t good tho cuz it’s very stacked it seems. Plot seems aight but I’d say it’s mostly gonna be a fun action show

Didn't feel this much. The idea of an isekai anime with Suicide Squad didn't sound that appealing to me on paper and after this first episode, probably confirmed that this is not for me story-wise. Just was too boring to watch and the cast being in an isekai world doesn't move me much conceptually and seeing it play out. The animation was fine but the Harley-Katana fight was a bit inconsistent and honestly, looked decent at times and a bit too slow and off in others. I know that with WIT involved as the studio, talent will definitely be there with this project, but with the bar for action scenes being pretty high over the last few years, this wasn't quite 'top tier' from this episode alone. Maybe it improves later. Japanese version is fine but obviously, I would prefer a normal dub of this on paper... except that I heard a few minutes of the dub and didn't enjoy hearing Harley Quinn whatsoever sadly, just too wooden for my liking in comparison and it's not good enough for me to still choose the English version over the Japanese version due to how I've watched over DC stuff over the years. I'm a person that doesn't mind dubs either and has seen a fair share of shows in dub and enjoyed it so this was a shame.

This got an early premier too nice.

Wait that was deadshot? Why doesn't he look like Will Smith.

Harley Quinn looks so cute and adorable. Been loving her in the anime. She's badass too. Nagase Anna doing great voicing her too.

Episode was decent with some nice action sequence and letting us know the general setting. It's suicide squad in isekai. Not that we already didn't know.

Not a big fan of DC verse or suicide squad. The only DC thing I like is batman and related media. Big fan of the darknight trilogy.

Anyway decent start, I liked it. Mostly cause Harley Quinn.

probably going to be an attempt to make more people buy the game. Re zero author - really? Then that makes it even more likely that it will be blegh. Re zero had such an unintentionally dumb written protagonist.
Warner bros do this, where they try to pretend they are "hip". Look at the wording of the title - "Isekai". That's only titled like that because they know it's a popular genre rn and want to get as many people to read it a know what it is immediately - it's the same principle as the first 3 sec of a short video have to grab the audience for it to have better engagement. It's just marketing and if the marketing starts from the title + all the other factors like it's warner bros, it's releasing after their game - it's apparent it wasn't done for the art, but for the marketing.

First episode was okay... animation looks great, but the fighting between Harley and Katana felt stilted... character design was good, even though most of the females look 16 yo... hated the jump cut at the end where they were suddenly locked up, they could have easily took out the humans or just got away. This didn't make me want to immediately jump to episode 2... maybe it'll grab me in the second episode.

Although I like Harley Quinn but I don't think even she can carry this trash series for me.

I’m a big fan of the IP already and Re Zero is my favorite anime, so I had some hopes for this one. Thankfully my expectations were mostly met. Not a perfect episode 1 by any means, but this seems like it’ll be a fun watch if anything.

They're now aligned watchin' this show. Didn't had much expectation at first. But then I got to know the studio is WIT and the story writer is Re:Zero's author. Thatz the moment I knew itz gonna be one hell of a ride. I got a crush on Harley as soon as I saw her. Man her character design is so fine. Joker didn't get isekaid...well thatz a blessing for the isekai world💀. 3 eps at a time less goo

@ZXEAN well the behind the scenes is kind of rough. Even though it has already finished all of the episodes, the actual making of those episodes was rushed. The producer ootani had to leave mid production to go help noko tan which is also struggling

I don't know about this one, but it's entertaining enough. Not too big a fan of the character designs, but then I haven't watched The Suicide Squad in ages so I barely remember anything from it, and the designs from the movies. It's WIT Studio so the fights looked cool, and the music was also decent. Otherwise, it just feels like good looking slop. Not to say that slop isn't enjoyable sometimes, so maybe Tappei can make this at least something worthwhile.

Torn between continuing in sub or dub. Dub was funnier in my opinion, but Harley's voice just felt a bit too flat to me in that version. Hopefully the story doesn't completely fall flat though.

Probably the only isekai I'd grab a bucket of popcorn with. First episode delivers insane actions, though the Isekai introductions are totally the same as in other Isekai anime. Suicide Squad ISEKAI is why I can enjoy a lot of generic & mid isekai as many as I can.

Anna Nagase, never heard of the seiyuu before, but she definitely has the potential to voice other female MCs in other properly-written manga.

Totally intrigued to see how the story goes from here!

A DC-centric Suicide Squad, but with the Isekai twist, written by Re:Zero author Tappei Nagatsuki alongside co-scriptwriter Eiji Umehara from Spring 2021's Vivy: Flourite Eyes' Song, plus with Wit Studio having the Spy X Family production treatment, this gonna be finna wild.

To be honest, it's weird having to listen the Suicide Squad in their Japanese VA counterparts, but it really gave them the personality as if you're a native Japanese. Harley Quinn in anime form is HOT as a waifu, and Joker is even better, though her fight with Katana is just as clumsy and menacing as her real comic/movie counterpart. Still, Harley getting captured and thrown into the other world's A.R.G.U.S facility (that's headed by Amanda Waller) to conduct a mission, she's joined by Deadshot, Peacemaker, Clayface and King Shark, the Suicide Squad find themselves right in the Isekai world.

In the world of dragons and mythical beings, the Suicide Squad's danger is real, but nothing they can't handle against pig beings. On the side of the knights, Peacemaker realizing that his fictionalized topics of interest came true, they ARE really in an Isekai...though their starting point is rather fumbling.

It has promise to deliver, so expectations will be good.

WIT Studio is the goat, no complaints there. But Suicide Squad is still just the same old same old, even with the nice anime character design art-style. With the race-swap of Deadshot, I'm guessing this series is an alternate retelling of the live-action Suicide Squad movies. That, or this is just the way it is going forward, even if other characters aren't exactly the same as their live-action counterparts.

I wish they didn't make Joker's teeth on his smile painted on his lips like a tattoo. Stylistically interesting for sure, however of all the mediums, 2D animation was the few where they could have pulled off the exaggerated wide grin, and they blew it.

It seems like a good idea but the implementation is shit as it's basically just generic modern DC garbage with a very thin layer of anime painted on. It feels like a default Warner/DC project with the same characters, themes, plots, jokes & whatnot that most of us are bored of, it's just been handed over to an anime studio for a day to spice it up a bit. It even does the SS origin story again FFS. Who thought we needed that? It would have been much more interesting to see the SS as seasoned veterans as that's never been done in a show or movie.
Also, if I have to hear 'puddin' one more time I'll probably puke and never watch anything DC ever again. This Joker/Harley bullcrap has been beaten to death a hundred times already, let it rest for the love of fock.

@Deansdale Seasoned vets have been done, three times. Suicide Squad Hell to pay, Justice League Dark APOKOLIPS WAR, and The Suicide Squad.

In Hell To Pay, Deadshot, Harley, and Boomerang were vets to this. In APOKOLIPS WAR, they had been a team for a while. And in The Suicide Squad half the team were vets from the first film.

The start is quite good starting from the introduction of the character Harley Queen first and the animation is also good during the fighting scenes, there are no stiff scenes.
