Suicide Squad Isekai exploded into the scene to start off the Summer 2024 anime season with a bang- literally. The hype surrounding this collaboration by Warner Bros DC and the Japanese anime industry has been insane and it’s finally paying off- and just as expected, they cooked. Here is our Suicide Squad Isekai premier review for all of you who have any doubts.
Suicide Squad Isekai Premier Review: Just As You Would Expect!
Our Suicide Squad Isekai premier review stamps it as a bopping success as the anime certainly lives up to the massive hype around it. It starts off explosive with Joker and Harley Quinn running off on a car chase- their usual. Then we see Amanda Waller and we have to thank the writers for translating her cold badass personality into the anime medium.
We soon get introduced to our main cast of criminals- Deadshot, Peacemaker, and Clayface with a crazy serving of Harley on the side. We meet King Shark a little later into the show when the cast is already ‘in another world’. Right off the bat the setup and action are insane and this is continued for the next two episodes.
Harley Quinn Steals The Show In Suicide Squad Isekai Premier
Harley’s personality is perfect for anime. The animators and the voice actor for Harley, Anna Nagase, did a perfect job bringing her fun, bubbly, and a little insane character to life. You may or may not have liked the Joker and his over-dramatic speech but Harley was hitting from the jump- all puns intended.
Her action scenes are also the best animated of all the Suicide Squad members because she’s the only one who relies solely on melee and hand-to-hand combat, unlike the other criminals. While the rest are embroiled in army-trained martial arts, sharpshooting, shapeshifting, and eating (King Shark is just eating every enemy throughout the first 3 episodes), Harley’s unpredictable movement and combat make her interesting, playful, and fluid.
Even her contemplative and intuitive side shines through with the intuitive medium of anime. That said, it’s not to say the others delivered mediocre performances. The voice actors of each cast members delivered their best and thus each of their personalities was adapted perfectly into the anime medium.
