Suicide Squad Isekai

The one good thing I can say about this show is the characters are animated well and are drawn beautifully. The CGI doesn't feel out of place like the bad ones we tend to notice. The good aspects of the show ends there. This show was unneeded for the franchise. The plot is all over the place and doesn't establish itself as knowing what it wants until the last few episodes (way too late into the game). It felt like I was watching a cash-grab. Isekai as a genre is already oversaturated; I was betting on this to be good based on the teambehind the serie. But what I got was something half baked

i'm glad this show exist, it's pure and honest dumb fun, this anime doesn't takes it self so serious, it knows what it is, and i'm kinda sad that at the end they teased a 2nd season, that probably won't happen, because outside of people mocking the idea and existence of this, i saw nobody talking about it, so i hope that at least it does well in japan for it to get another season, but if you are a die hard comic fan or fan of an specific member of the squad you probably won't enjoy this, because these interpretations are the most outthere that i've seen, i personally loved most of them (except harley and joker, but mostly because i'm tired of how much dc push them in everything, i know they're they most popular characters, so that's inevitable, but still, this jokar potray ufffff this was the most hot topic joker i've eveer seen, been beated only by jared leto joker, but i'm still interested to see what would they do with him in an hipotetical 2nd season), i don't know who idea was to make clayface a fuckboy weeb, but man i'm glad he was, you don't have an idea of how much i enjoyed him, my only problem it's that i can't see this clayface as villain to batman, he seems to nice to be doin crimes, but other than that i found him very entertaining, deadshot was pretty cool, i like how he well he worked with al the members of the squad, and how cool he was without trying to much (like will smith's deadshot that tryed way to much to act and being cool), peacemaker i'm not much familiar with this character outside the movie he was previously in, but i loved how unhinged and stoic he was most of the time, and of top of that he was voiced by takehito koyasu, who's always nice to hear, and king shark was cute i guess, i don't have to much to say about him, he worked really well with the rest of the cast, so i'm glad he's here, so if you watch this, don't expect too much, lower your expectations, don't expect an adaptation of the suicide squad members as you know them, because they're mostly not, and just i don't know turn off your brain, this is one of those animes you watch while eating and don't think too much of it, because the history it's just there to make these characters look cool, and man if they look cool, i was surprised by how nice this anime looks, wit did a nice job, it's not perfect, there are some cuts that looks off, but this anime looks mostly good, so give it a try

I finished this show being left with only 1 question, what the hell did people expect? My confusion when it comes to this show's reception was only matched by the time I stepped on a Lego, for it to just disappear and never be found... So bare with me for a sec. From episode 1 I was seeing a dangerously notable amount of complaints about the animation being bad which if you have ever held a pen in your hand you would realize how absurd that claim is. As if I hadn't already been convinced that the anime community didn't know what good animation is, this wasgoing to be the final nail on the coffin, but against all odds as the show went on... there was some level of truth to it. So the thing is, aside from episode 5 that had a decent amount of let's just say, not so great cuts, every episode of the show looks great in a vacuum, but when you look at them together.... There is a pretty serious lack of consistency. the show changes visuals, the characters change models (except Harley cause she hot), the way the fights are drawn, the way the movement is handled, everything is constantly changing. and the thing is none of it is bad, and if like me you're on the lenient side with visual consistency as long as it looks good, it won't bother you that much.... but it makes the show's visual as a whole feel messy. Extremely polished messy, but messy. It's like a dish 20 chefs made using top class ingredients while not communicating and passing the dish together hoping it works out by the end. and It probably won't taste horrible, but you clearly taste the.... wait, what was I talking about? oh yeah, the show. Everything else is exactly what you expect. It's a suicide squad anime held back by being forced to follow a generic isekai outline. The soundtrack is amazing and the op and ed are also both really good. Anime Harely Quinn is hot and entertaining in the best way possible.... the rest of the cast are fine too I guess. The best (and worst) part of the whole thing is, the way it has been set up, a s2 would top this one in every way possible. As you see in the final episode, the conflict they set up for the sequal is infinitely more interesting than the generic shlob that was the villain of s1. and the princess actually was set to become really interesting going forward. Idk about you, but I smelled a bit of a yuri in the air. could just be my imagination though. Anyway, go in expecting it to be what it is, and you won't be disappointed. If you're a fan of suicide squad, firstly, I'm sorry for the sheer amount shit you have went through. but also this is actually in the great zone as far as none comic suicide squad media goes. If you're an isekai trash enjoyer, I see no reason for why you wouldn't enjoy this. I guess it's not as much of a power fantasy, but it has all the other elements that make the genre what it is. to me that's a negative, but that's besides the point. If you want a great story, or top tier writing, or an emotionally rich experience in a fantasy world, go watch frieren or made in abyss or something. This is popcorn entertainment at it's (almost) finest. And there is a severe lack of rule34 from it. Like let's not lie to ourselves, 90% of us watched this for anime Harely.

As someone who really enjoyed the original Suicide Squad movie, I was really excited for this anime, though I had some reservations about the decision to make it an isekai Anime. And that worry turned out to be justified. The whole thing ended up being painfully average, with a story that felt forced and eventually spiraled into an incoherent mess by the end. I feel like there was so much potential here but it was all wasted. The opening is an uninspiring mashup of music, characters from the fantasy world have shallow backstories and are painfully stereotypical, the world-building is practically nonexistent, and the plot isdull, forced, and confusing. I feel like the biggest problem in all of this is that they opted to make the story into an isekai. The anime market is so over saturated with isekais these days which makes it so hard to stand out in the genre. And the fantasy world in " Isekai Suicide Squad " is quite frankly even below average, which causes the entire project to suffer. There's plot twists which are there to keep the story interesting but you can mostly smell them miles away. The animation can get choppy and goofy at times which just further adds to the negatives, though admittedly some fights in the later episodes were animated well and ended up being enjoyable. When it comes to the positives, I always try to be fair to shows and give it the benefit of the doubt. The show did a good job in advertising itself and I had seen a lot of posts on social media and trailers long before it even started airing. And let's be honest here, capitalizing on the trend of western franchises getting anime adaptations was a clever strategy. "Suicide Squad" is a name many people are familar with, which makes it easy to get people interested in your anime. The DC villains were drawn really well and especially Harley Quinn looked phenomenal. In fact, Harley Quinn was one of the few highlights of this adaptation. Her character design, voice acting, and overall portrayal all came together so well. In the end, this turned out to be a huge disappointment, though my high expectations likely played a big part in how let down I felt. There's just too many issues that prevent you from truly enjoying "Isekai Suicide Squad" and I honestly also cannot recommend this to anyone curious whether they should watch it or not. It was average, though you could also make a case for it being even worse and I would fully agree. It's sad, but this one truly missed the mark.
