| 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. https://wwws.warnerbros.co.jp/suicidesquad-isekai/news/post-13/ 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.  |
| Harley my love I’m so moved |

DC have several anime already tho? Batman Gotham knight was fire.
| @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. |
| damn, 3 episodes already? shit, guess i gotta wait till after work to get my fix of sexy ass anime girl HQ<3 |

| 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. |

| Okay this is pretty special for a DC comics show. |
| A pretty good premiere episode. Amanda Waller still being Amanda Waller even in an anime. While this version of Harley exudes that poisonous brightly colored flower charm. I can't fix her! |
 |
| was an okay start, i just want some fire action. animation went from okay to pretty good, but nothing crazy so far. harley ftw and my man peacemaker voiced by takehito is so jokes, also instantly recognized lelouch voice i'm not too big on clayface. deadshot seems decent, jokers definitely very out there and katana's cool. |
 |
| now this was cool, I love Harley Quinn, one of the very few DC/Marvel characters who appeal to me |
| Only Anna Nagase as Harley Quinn's VA made me interested in continuing this. hope Joker also gets into isekai at some point. |
| Although I like Harley Quinn but I don't think even she can carry this trash series for me. |
My doctor has always told me to smoke. He even explains himself: “Smoke, my friend. Otherwise someone else will smoke in your place.” |
| Nagase, Anna is doing a pretty good job as Harley, she is very new to the VA business. |
| Katana look very young to be widow already. Time to do a deeper dive to see who can open a dimension portal in the DC universe, with the only clue that is a woman. |
 |
| it looks like this is gonna be some turn ur brain off fun, and yeah i can get behind that. also harley's design is so cute <3 |
| Dc fans Anime fans Isekai fans 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 |
| 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. |
| awful. DC has thee WORST fictional characters ever written. the worst part is sites like Anilist are being paid to promote it behind closed doors. go look at LIST and its always pushed up at the top despite search settings implying it'd be somewhere else. terrible.  |
  |
| 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. |
| Well, a bit too cringe at times but somewhat interesting anyways. Let's see where this goes. |
| We got nothing but worthless haters in this thread. Get a life losers. Nobody cares that you hate American IP. This is good shit! I love that there's no dub. |

Not even the author of re:zero can salvage anything out of bad western media.
| @HansDevX Comic Suicide Squad is really good. However only second lifeaction adaptation was able to capture that specific original mood. Sadly, this anime does the source material badly |
| looks good enough |
