Warner Bros shows a first teaser with all the characters of the anime Suicide Squad Isekai

Warner Bros shows a first teaser with all the characters of the Suicide Squad Isekai anime, in a trailer that gives us very long teeth

In Japan, no story is beyond the limits of what can be told. As long as it has an interesting twist or a target audience, everything has the potential to get the green light. No matter how niche it seems. How absurd it craves. In Japan they understand that there are no bad stories: just bad ways to tell them. So it should come as no surprise that Suicide Squad Isekai, the anime that introduces The Suicide Squad into a fantasy world, is still going strong. And that it looks better than ever.

Warner Bros. Japan and Wit Studio have shown the new trailer for Suicide Squad Isekai. Along with the opening song, the main casting of the Japanese version and English subtitles to appreciate everything in conditions. Something that shows their interest in reaching an audience beyond Japanese.

The premise of the series, on the other hand, couldn’t be more interesting. Amanda Waller, the head of A.R.G.U.S., has assembled the world’s most successful group of criminals. Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Peacemaker, Clayface and King Shark. What for? To take on a mission that is impossible for normal people. To go through a portal to another world to accomplish an impossible mission. Which if they avoid, will set off an explosive connected to their necks, which will leave them headless and lifeless.

Directed by Eri Osada, director of Jujutsu Kaisen, and scripted by Tappei Nagatsuki and Eiji Umehara, involved in Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-, the anime has the potential to be one of those series that attract attention for being crazy, fun and very, very interesting. Along with the trailer, they have confirmed that the opening is called Another World, and is composed by Tomoyasu Hotei, a musician that in the West we know for appearing in the soundtracks of Disgust and Fear in Las Vegas and Kill Bill.

Suicide Squad is scheduled to premiere worldwide sometime in 2024. And while it doesn’t have a concrete release date yet, we’ll tell you when we know, because we’re the first ones to be interested.

Anime Spectacular: Brace Yourself for the Mind-Bending Debut of This Iconic Superhero Team’s Animated Series

Warner Bros is still trying to find the superhero key, now teaming up with Wit to make the anime of a famous group of superheroes.

Warner Bros. still hasn’t managed to make superhero movies outside Batman and Superman work for them. No matter how hard they try, they still can’t find the alchemic formula that Disney found with the MCU, and at this point, even Disney seems to have lost that magic touch. That doesn’t stop them from continuing to try and, starting from the characters that have managed to succeed within their more modest canons, they are looking for a way to break the mold. For example, by making an anime of The Suicide Squad.

At the recent Anime Expo 2023, which was held last weekend in Los Angeles, Warner Bros. Japan and Wit Studio, the animation studio behind the popular Spy x Family series, announced an anime series called Suicide Squad Isekai. While they haven’t given a release date or synopsis, they did show a brief trailer that, along with its title, explains everything we need to know. What is an isekai.

It is possible that at this point you are wondering what an isekai is. And it is normal. In Japan, the isekai genre is one in which a person, upon death, is transported to a world different from their own. This has usually been translated as a person from our world who ends up immersed in a fantasy world, but that has been changing little by little to end up imagining all kinds of scenarios. From people from fantasy worlds who end up in our world or other fantasy worlds, people who end up reincarnated as animals, monsters or things, or any other combination of concepts you can imagine. In this case, it seems, the approach is more classic and the Suicide Squad end up in a fantasy world, as implied in the trailer, where we see the Joker and Harlequinn facing dragons and a group of pig men with bloody spears.

While it’s only forty-eight seconds of trailer, this is enough to pique our curiosity. The last thing we imagined was a Suicide Squad isekai. How they will approach it is a mystery, but what is clear is that we can expect a lot of fantasy and a lot of craziness from this. Exactly what we want from an isekai.
