The most maddening worlds: DC and Isekai collide in an epic and violent fantasy with the strongest line-up of creators in the new Suicide Squad ISEKAI announcement and trailer.
Suicide Squad ISEKAI Anime
The anime was announced at Anime Expo 2023, and it is based on the DC Comics property Suicide Squad. The show will follow a group of DC villains who are transported to a fantasy world. In this world, they must use their skills and abilities to survive and complete a dangerous mission.
The anime is being produced by WIT Studio, which is known for its work on popular anime series such as Attack on Titan and Vinland Saga. No further details about the anime have been released yet, such as the specific characters who will be featured or the plot of the story. However, Harley’s design on the official poster curiously features buttons teasing the logos of Peacemaker, Deadshot, and The Joker.
Why is it an Isekai?
Isekai is a popular genre in anime. Isekai anime typically feature characters who are transported to a fantasy world, where they must use their skills and abilities to survive. This genre is very popular in Japan, and it is a natural fit for the Suicide Squad, as they are a group of characters who are used to fighting in dangerous and unfamiliar environments.
Some More Theories
Here are some more hypotheses as to why an isekai genre is fitting for this crossover-
- To explore different themes of identity, self-discovery, and belonging. These are all themes that are relevant to The Suicide Squad, as they are a group of characters who are often misunderstood and rejected by society.
- To appeal to a wider audience. Isekai anime is a popular genre in Japan, but it is also becoming increasingly popular in the West. By making the Suicide Squad anime an isekai, the creators may be hoping to attract new fans who are not familiar with the DC Comics characters.
- To offer a fresh take on the Suicide Squad. The Suicide Squad is a well-known group of characters, but they have been portrayed in a variety of ways over the years.
- To explore the idea of what it means to be a hero. The Suicide Squad is a group of villains who are forced to work for the government. In the isekai setting, the Suicide Squad may have the opportunity to become true heroes. This could be a compelling story arc that would explore the themes of redemption and second chances.
- To make the transition of a Western character design into a typical Japanese animation style easier;Â much like in the case of the movie titled “Enchanted”.
In conclusion, the decision to make the new Suicide Squad anime an isekai was a creative one. The writers probably wanted to create a show that was both entertaining and thought-provoking, and they felt that the isekai genre was the best way to do that.
