Suicide Squad ISEKAI<\/span><\/i>, or <\/span>Isekai Squad<\/span><\/i> as I prefer to call it, wasn\u2019t on my anime<\/a> bingo card, and it sure wasn\u2019t on my to-watch list for the Summer 2024 anime season. An anime version of <\/span>Suicide Squad <\/span><\/i>that, for some reason, involves isekai? I\u2019m not convinced that such a show really needs to exist, and <\/span>Suicide Squad ISEKAI<\/span><\/i>\u2019s<\/span> first three episodes haven\u2019t done enough to change my mind either.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In case you\u2019re a non-comic book reader who hasn\u2019t seen the two <\/span>Suicide Squad<\/span><\/i> live-action movies<\/a> and the recent video game<\/a>, the titular team consists of imprisoned supervillains who are forced to do the dirty work of ruthless government official Amanda Waller. They\u2019ve got no choice but to obey, because if they don\u2019t, they\u2019ll be blown up by an implanted explosive.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The three-episode international premiere for<\/span> Suicide Squad ISEKAI <\/span><\/i>makes sense, because the third episode\u2019s ending, which establishes that our main characters will be dealing with other familiar supervillains and not just fantasy fodder, feels like the only narrative element that\u2019s vaguely interesting. The first episode is all setup, establishing the capture of the Joker\u2019s lover\/partner-in-crime Harley Quinn so that Waller (whose English VA sounds too young for the role) can force her and other supervillains (Deadshot, Clayface, Peacemaker, King Shark) on a mission into a fantasy world of beast people and humans that Waller has her sights on (we soon find out that it\u2019s all about natural resources). We get to see the Joker in the first third of this episode, but considering that his monologue made my mind wander off, I don\u2019t think I want to see him again.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
