Isekai Suicide Squad

The Joker and his best girl, Harley Quinn, are tearing through the streets of Gotham with sacks full of cash and the law in hot pursuit. Unfortunately for them, though the jester manages to escape, the night ends with Harley being captured by a mysterious, katana-wielding woman.

Meanwhile, Amanda Waller, the head of the government security organization A.R.G.U.S., has commandeered a team of supervillains for a ruthless mission into another world. After losing contact with the first suicide squad sent through the portal, Amanda sends Deadshot, Peacemaker, Clayface, King Shark, and Harley as replacements. However, shortly after entering the portal, their helicopter crashes in the middle of a battle between horse-mounted troops and vicious orcs.

With all of the accompanying A.R.G.U.S. members dead on impact, the villains break free of their shackles and rampage through the army of orcs, unwittingly aiding the human soldiers—only to be rewarded with imprisonment. Now bound by magic-infused shackles, Harley and company must hurry back to the portal they came from, or else the bombs A.R.G.U.S. implanted in their necks will detonate.

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.

Mixed Feelings

The low-score people have for this anime is justified. There are multiple problems. However, if you love Isekai-anime and/or love suicide squad, you will likely enjoy this! Also a certain someone has some mad dance moves in the ending ;)
Content-wise it's a general save the other world type thing, but with a suicide squad twist. Since it's an isekai world, not DC-world, it allows some interesting abilities.
Style-wise it's kind of nice but seems to be kind of low-tier in a lot of ways, while also being very pleasing to me.
I love the fun and incoherent teamwork that just manages to work. The squad is so ... much fun to watch and ~every-other episode gets a Joker memory which is both fun to watch and fun to have Harley bring up.

The villains (Director lady (in my eyes) and obvious person who's obvious) disgust me and hate seeing or hearing them. If you don't like it after the first episode, you probably won't like it at all.

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 is ... dull, 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.
