Ever because the Suicide Squad got here crashing into theaters again in 2016, Warner Bros. has been doing no matter it could possibly to maintain them round within the public eye. Video games, animated movies, popping up in different characters’ reveals: the DC antiheroes are going to characteristic in no matter they will. Their subsequent onscreen enterprise is Suicide Squad Isekai, which additionally has the added bonus of being the crew’s first anime mission.
Like different isekai tales, the upcoming collection takes the black ops crew—Harley Quinn, Peacemaker, Clayface, Deadshot, and King Shark—right into a fantasy world with all types of bizarre stuff taking place. With a three-day time restrict earlier than their heads explode, it’s on the Squad to determine what’s happening, how one can get residence, and kill loads of fantasy creatures whereas doing it. That seems like a doubtlessly enjoyable romp for the Squad to undergo, notably with different DC characters readily available like Katana, Killer Croc, and the Joker. Regardless of that, the present’s opening might need you assume you’re in for a little bit of a unique present.
That’s to not say it’s a nasty opening, it’s a reasonably good one: WIT Studio (finest identified for Spy x Household and Rating of Kings) actually captured the look of everybody right here, and Tomoyasu Hotei’s “One other World” is a pleasant, energetic opening tune. It simply doesn’t gel totally with how the present’s been marketed to date, to say nothing of the bigger Suicide Squad model: bloody, typically quippy chaos has sort of change into the crew’s default, as we’ve seen within the 2021 film or the sport from this previous February. This offers the present a unique, virtually gradual burn vibe, albeit one that appears fairly placing regardless.
Suicide Squad Isekai premieres June 27 with its first three episodes on Max and Hulu.
