At least Disney isn't involved.
something is something
Thats what they want you to think. Hopefully the people that are involved are not the creatives on Disney.
DC is Warner Bros or something not much better
I'll be more interested if Joker rips off his mask and yells, Kono Dio Da!"
Joker??? You mean Peacemaker..
I think this show is great. While it’s an isekai, the characters are spot on. Clay Face being a weaboo is hilarious and a good way to introduce non anime fans to the genre.
It’s gold. Want dumb and fun action? Then this is for you. Although if it’s wit studio, they may ramp it up around episode 5
The story and worldbuilding in this are borderline non-existent after the first 3 episodes. the humor is okay, and the dialogue and character interactions are okay. I smirked and smiled at some of the scenes and found them fun. The action is decent, i like how they utilize POV shots etc, but it isn't anything crazy good.
It's a decent show that is currently only carried by the character cast and their interactions with each other and the world; if that is the only thing that keeps this show going till the end of the season, then it will be immediately forgettable and not something anyone will even talk about after it ends.
I don't hate it, but I just had much higher hopes for what it could have been or shown us to be with a 3 episode premiere like this.
People are forgetting this is "Suicide Squad". It will hit it's stride once it's start killing off notable characters. Also they aired the 3 episode mostly in the same reason as Vinland Saga aired the 1st 5 episode at once. Since that basically sets the story toward at least something.
Dialogue is so trash and cliche
The 1st 3 ep seemed like a meandering mess. Get thrown in prison, out of prison, find a place to hunker down, only to go back to Queen that imprisoned them and by choice, send 1 person actually back to prison, finally get translation magic in 2nd half of ep 3.
It's like the western and anime sides were fighting against each other creatively the whole way instead of coming together to make something.
@@michaels9595 Really, I find it rather interesting since the DC characters being heavily western and military minded, they avoided going through redoing "basic Isekai tropes" and most of the characters not being so very into exploring the magic system of the world avoid the "overly focus on the magic system having a big portion of the early episodes"
In some ways the setting is rather similar to Gate, but it got through a lot of the isekai trope of gathering the harem characters, saving the princess, be treated as the heroes etc. etc. mostly because the MC despite being a high ranking military man is unapologetically a weeb at heart.
I guess since the show, avoided a lot of the basics of isekai tropes despite having a very generic isekai world made it feels off to a lot of people. But for me that made the show rather interesting to me. Since their are isekai shows that give us MC that don't give a shit on being the hero or beating the demon lord, all of them still end up doing those any way in their story.
And from what we can clue in, the first batch of the suicide sqaud went the tropey route and they are trying to abuse the magic system of the isekai world.
@@Snzn18 i really wanted to see them do the isekai thing though. SS in isekai. Too many steps of subversion for me right now.
And if i try to appreciate it at face value for what it is, I'm bothered that they went back to the queen in handcuffs willingly in ep 3. I feel like the writing shouldn't have had them leave the castle in the first place without speaking to the queen. Unbelievable that SS would give themselves up like that.
And then not figuring out that they have magic until ep 3? And 30 some hours remaining on their timer? That felt way too long. And ep 1 and ep 2 feel wasted cause it didn't really progress until ep 3. So weird pacing.
Some things like that are not gel-ing for me right now. Hope it picks up in ep 4.
It’s possible that Tappei might introduce some dark twists in episodes 4-6, which could add a layer of intrigue to the series.
However, given that the show is based on a specific IP (Intellectual Property), it might adhere closely to its established storyline and themes, limiting the potential for unexpected deviations. This balance between creative freedom and staying true to the source material often shapes the direction and surprises within such adaptations.
they are kinda clever of connecting Enchantress to the Isekai world though, like they used her lore of being possesed by some entity from another world/dimension, which the anime use for being able to integrate "isekai" to DC.
They also give King Shark Isekai regenration so he is basically Wolverine/hulk and Aquaman combine in his Isekai iteration.
Also Tappei's writing will show its colors once it starts killing off characters cause its suicide squad. It won't be suicide squad if none of them will die.
If CEO's and such are dictating what will be written, meh 🤷♂️
That’s the problem with writing for the likes of DC or Marvel, you can’t actually write what you want. It’s like the companies that make statues & figures of the DC characters, you can’t sell the figures with guns. McFarlane toys made an action figure of Flashpoint Batman without his guns, ridiculous as guns are a huge part of his character.
Same with writing a story, there will be a massive list of things you can’t do.
of course they are! I heard its full of forced references to WB's other shitty western IPs
Suicide squad isekai was decent dc comics isekai anime for me and i give this anime 7.5 out 10 rating .
Joker is in the first group. He's their leader. That's just a theory. I think his speech in the first episode just gave it way.
their leader is obviously the enchantress lol, as for Joker he might just be their to "free" harley at the end of the show from Amanda or they will use them as a wild card once he gets access to the gate.
This is just funny how people are not feeling the obvious twist that is very "basic to Suicide Squad".
I advice people to hold their horses until the anime "begin killing off the DC characters". That is the hook of a Suicide squad story
The show being relatively safe is like the calm before the storm. And it is typical Tappei to hits its story stride once it gets to the twist.
Also I feel like the restruction with this show is kinda lax that how people are thinking. Like just look at "Clayface", he definitely don't look like comics Clayface and the anime also tweaked his backstory to fit him being Handsome in the anime version.
The other cast are more so just heavily inspired with their DC movie counterpart.
Also people do need to be mindful that this story is basocally utilizing already well known existing characters, like would want let us say Luffy to be not depicted like Luffy in any One Piece adaptation.??
I hope you are right....
Clayface looks plently like Clayface... when he's in his mud form. He was always an actor, so I have no problem with him being depicted as a pretty boy. It fits. What kind of actor wouldn't be attractive? The difference is that he's able to maintain his form and that he's not a well-known actor. Which I'm also fine with, as it fits with the whole theme of the Suicide Squad members often being losers in some way for humor reasons.
@@SpiderboyN2Jesus my point with the Clayface bit, is that since the criticisms for the show is that it feels like they have "heavy restrictions" is that the show had a lot of liberties with Clayface. yes I rechecked Clayface is an actor, but most of the Human faces they had depicted him is that "he is still not that handsome".
And his powers is more like a permanent thing to him like the case with Fantastic 4 The Thing. Like if he reverts back to human form then that means he lost his powers.
I wasn't saying that the anime Clayface is bad, I am using it as a reference that the anime don't mind tweaking the DC characters.
@@Snzn18 I don't know about comics Clayface, but in BTAS, he was able to take on a human form all the time. He just couldn't maintain it for very long. It took intense focus and he couldn't keep it up for long. So it's not that crazy, imo 🤷🏻♂️.
As for his attractiveness, in BTAS, at least, he had a condition that was causing his looks to degrade over time. Only a certain chemical that allowed him to mold his face allowed him to maintain his looks for the camera. Ironically, the chemical/cream was actually making his condition worse. So he certainly wasn't unattractive (aside from his condition) 🤷🏻♂️.
It's anime. Drawing out his attractiveness makes sense, imo 🤷🏻♂️. And he's often at least somewhat vain anyway as an actor. Again, I think it makes sense to ramp that up in an anime, as well 🤷🏻♂️.
Comic Clayface at least from the ones I had seen and so did in the first Clayface appeareance in the comics.
Clayface basically is a B-list Horror Villain actor. The Irony of his story is more of him actually becoming the very Horror Villain character he was playing.
I guess that is why Clayface were not really that actractive from the iterations I know Clayface was in. Since in those he was the stereotypical bulky bully looking dude.
It was ok, but it certainly has the potential of being something special, but only if they have the creative freedom for it.
They have, lol they did "add the fact that they got enhanced and can do magic by being in the Isekai world". The story just hadn't reach the point wheret they explore most of those.
Like as Clayface explained his situation, basically he can now control clay that is not from his body. King shark got Isekai regeneration, Harley Quinn recieved something like Weapon enhancement thing going on??.
Ratcatcher is now able to control more than just Rats.
Character wise, look at Clayface. Comic Clayface isn't a "handsome dude", the dude was ugly in the comics. Making Clayface "handsome", and they tweaked his backstory to match his Handsome physique by having him be an actor is "creative freedom".
The story is not yet at the point where these just come to play fully yet. Also it's suicide squad and the moment they start killing off important characters then that point should be the plausible time to judge the show.
@@Snzn18 Good points, I honestly can't wat to see where they take the story.
@@Snzn18 I´ve seen Clayface be an actor in a few stories before. Definitely in the Harley Quinn animated show, and I think some others before that too.
Well, at least he was before he turned into Clayface. And since he IS a shapeshifter, I really don´t see the need to make him ugly. (Yes, yes, stick to the source material when needed. But as you said, "creative freedom" and all that.)
@@johnyshadow yeah, sadly most iteration that I know him of is mostly him being a melted version of the Thing and the only human face I ever sam him is either an ugly bald dude or an NPC looking bald dude.
Also yeah, I think him being able to shape shift looks more better. SInce I think like The Thing, thier transformation is more like a permanent thing. And the reverting to human form means they had also lost their powers.
I am looking forward when they will start killing off charcters though, that is where I will expect Tappei's writing will show its fingerprints. Especially since the roster the anime have don't really have the throwaway villain characters they can immediately kill off like they do in the SS movies
I prefer zero budget anime such as Reborn as a Level 1 Sota with all S rank skills, and reincarnated as a healer (dungeon anime)
Im loving it so its fine for me! Great animation,love the style they went for with the end of ep 2 as well.
I mean, it could just end up being a funny anime that looks good, but I've enjoyed what feels like the intro. I'm willing to bet the next episode kicks serious butt!
I actually pretty low expectations for this and have been blown away! I'm loving it so far!
I mean I only watched it for Harley Quinn. But I don’t know it’s only been 3 episodes but I feels like it’s missing something. Idk it feels I guess empty is the word. I’ll most likely drop it and watch clips of it on social media.
try read this manga:
"Sentouin, Hakenshimasu!; Combatants Will Be Dispatched!/Combatants" Will Be Dispatched! you might like it better than Isekai Suicide Squad
Yes those are good, but like most isekai that sells their MC being the bad guy, they usually still fall in the old trope of them still doing all the Hero shit, and roping them to still end up fighting the actual big ol' Isekai demon lord.
I like how in SS they do in fact avoiding a lot of those tropes. Also people are forgetting this is SS, like yes they are usually pegged in a comedic light. But the real shit in SS stories is when characters gets killed off
Seemingly dying... watches a shark man devour people...hmmm
It was also the exact same guard 10 times in a row... That makes it seemingly
I expect that Harley is going to have some other ability... basic magic as my guess. that she can only use on rare occasions until it clicks for her.
I most wait to see what they did with Ivy
You know, I’ve been reading superhero comics for 30+ years [mostly Marvel, I stopped reading DC in 2008 after Flashpoint, but I still keep myself updated on what’s going on there]. I daresay I’m more knowledgeable of comics than I am of anime [which I also have been watching for 30+ years], so you can tell I was really hyped for this.
I’m gonna agree with you, Andrew, that this is just ok. I was expecting more dynamic and gruesome action, which the Suicide Squad is known for [the werewolves being the only ones that really got bloodied]. I know it’s a little early to judge, but my hype went pretty down after these 3 episodes.
Oh, and that ED? Wtf was that?! The OP was fine, though. 😛
So people being dismembered and eaten was somehow less bloody and greusome that werewolves being shot? Ok... sure...
This just reminds me of super crooks
idk, i might be seeing things that it seems no one else is pointing out in Suicide Squad Isekai
Princess is obviously related to harley
in opening the portal, technicians seem worried about "her" that Waller refuses to acknowledge as a person and just a tool.
That with the very generic setting, Am I expecting too much for a world construct within a powerful metahuman mind that might have had Dr Harleen Quinzel as psychiatrist?
Also that no one else is pointing out Enchantress will play a "big role" in this. like Amanda used her as a means to open these Isekai gates and that the she is highly the leader of the rogue SS.
@@Snzn18 idk, I thought it would be enchantress, but in the post credits scene in EP 1, we see there's a leader figure with vines
@@grungethemovie the vines were part of the throne she was on, lol. Also the charcater roster never featured characters like poison Ivy being in the show.
The silhouette matches Enchantress design in the art of her in their website so.. That is definitely enchantress.
Also a forestry dungeon backdrop fits enchantress theme of eldritch witch shenanigans
Makes wonder what Isekai powers Rick Flag had received to actually be able to fight enchantress.
And will the anime make it so that Enchantress' actually main body might be someone from this Isekai world?Since they basically used her to be able to create an Isekai gate.
I kinda like that angle.
@@Snzn18 but that's what I mean, I thought it was enchantress too but there's the lady in the water mirror in the vines and ALSO Enchantress in the group with Katana, Thinker, Ratcatcher and Killer Croc
@@Snzn18 having just checked again, in the water mirror in the vines there's a girl that seems to be sitting inside a giant skeleton (voiced by Yukari Tamura?) Enchantress is along the group but seems to be phasing semi-visible
my first impressions on the first 3 eps is that there's not really much depth into the story, as said, it seems to be playing "safe". There's not much character development since the characters are already develop (e.g. watch the million other shows/comics that already delve into their backstory). The only thing that "intrigued" me a bit is that the princess is "interested" in Harley (for their powers), though i highly doubt it will go in that other direction given Harley is very upfront about being Joker's 'lover'. But prove me wrong show and i will take back everything i said about the show being "safe" 😂
Skipping it for now. Might change my mind later if I don't have anything to watch.
Edit: Pointed out to me, but for licensed IP, the characters have to stay the same through the entire story. That means character growth is impossible. Doesn't make for an engaging story for me personally.
Just watch it after you ran out of normal trash isekay
@@MabusTiefsee Thought about it more. I don't care about villains. I want a protag trying to be better / fix mistakes / do right.
@@jonmichaelgalindo i want intelligent characters and character growth.
DC and marvel make character growth impossible, because their characters need to be unchanged forever.
I hope it will be different, but I doubt it...
@@MabusTiefsee Oh that makes sense. Yeah, you can't tell a story if the character at the end has to be the same as the beginning. :-O
@@jonmichaelgalindo yeah and story's about Tanja the evil, overlord or similar shown. It doesn't matter if the main protagonist is evil it good. As long as they are interesting and show growth
Yeah that's typical DC simple and blunt 😊
Rather more Cyberpunk than this..
Man i agree it's been mid so far. Even trash isekai has better hooks than this in ep 1. And through 3 eps there hasn't been anything exciting. Once they got to the other world it's just felt meandering. From going into dungeon, going out of dungeon, hanging out until they want to go back to Queen in handcuffs and possibly go into dungeon.
It just feels like there was unrealized potential. Feels like the anime and DC parts were at odds and instead of combining to make something great, so far it's felt muted and stalled.
This makes me feel like its gate with a game thrones element the best things in this is king shark and the op clay face and harley is just cute and also i wish that instead of clayface they put in captian boomerang so harley can has more moment and its just ok
I don´t know the full cast, but there was another group sent that world. Maybe there´s still hope for Boomerang.
They used Clayface as a means to let the squad have an actual character in their team that can relate to the Isekai tropes. Like if Clayface wasn't in the team then the squad probaly won't key in that they are given acces of an Isekai magical system and what not. Like I am sure Clayface was handpicked since he has a lore that place him in the media entertainment side to use him as a plot device to relay the Isekai terminologies.
Corporate intent = creates corporate product.
This isn't surprising.
While I don't really care for this series, the IP, or western cartoon shows too much in general, I'm concerned about WB moving forward with this.
I hate the fact that American companies are pretty much setting up shop in the Japanese market because _"hurr-durr_ anime is popular, it makes money, and we want some of that money." We already had a debacle with American credit card companies censoring Japanese art. Now we're gonna have an American studio company waltz right on and start telling Japanese studios how to make anime by commission.
Is that exaggerated? Probably, but not out of the possibility.
In short, I don't like this.
It's just a stone throw's away at damn near buying out part of the industry.
And in case I have to remind you, American companies pretty much treat Japanese companies like shit, just ask Tango Gameworks which was axed by Microsoft.
It doesn't help that the obsessively bad decision making in the U.S. when it comes to managing entertainment tends to fall flat on it's ass. A lot of these former big time studio companies are either going bankrupt, or having to deal with asset sales, or mergers.
WB lost over $200Mil just on a video game alone that:
• No one asked for.
• No one liked.
• No one plays.
Can you guess the name of that video game?
Suicide Squad: Kill the justice League.
Don't get me started on where to begin with that mess, but let's just say that people have had enough of this IP, and this last push that left everyone familiar with it a very sour taste in their mouths. So just a guess, I don't think very many _"anime fans"_ be it newbies/normies, veterans, or posers are gonna bother with this series.
the main plot is predictable, the first group that Amanda sent in realised that why not just be free and live in the new world, so they sided with the empire, this new group has bombs in their necks so they have to do what Amanda tells them. I don't think its a bad set up, but the world feels so flat, i think it would have been more interesting if we were made to care about the conflict. It would actually be interesting if this was a complex war, set in a world the suicide squad had to learn about. On the positive side, it does feel more like james gunns suicide squad with the humor and character interactions, but man i wish tappei had made it a little bit more serious.
Yeah, the animation is good at points and a bit trash at points. Guessing Wit agreed to this to fund an endeavor they care more about.
Whole thing feels a bit off in ways, but it's fun
Yeah safe is the best way to describe it. Probably because of DC influence.
I’ve absolutely no interest in seeing an anime with these characters, I’m just too salty with DC. I read comics for years, and they then turned to trash and I stopped buying them & totally switched to manga over 3 years ago. So I never want to see any of these characters ever again.
I believe this was announced before the suicide squad game catastrophy.
Unfortunately despite having talented people behind it is like making a spin off of Mushoku Tensei and putting Rudeus in charge of a kindergarten.
Couldn't agree more! I love trash Isekai anime..this is garbage..hate that it was even made.
@@mattk8936you clearly haven't watch it..
well that's a shame :(
It hasn't clicked for me ...
Ok... it doesn't look half bad if we ignore that someone pukes color across the screen.
They nailed Harley, she's fun ... but that's it.
The same recycled bomb-in-the-neck-story as before, just with another world. It's "ok" at best ... Looking back at the last seasons it's kinda bottom-of-the-barrel for me personally.
Nothing more than a cash grab
Yeah but I hope they at least made Harley more than oooh look crazy boss chick.
Insert every insane girl trope. From Jinx to Yuno they are a thousand times more interesting then modern day Harley.
They each are made for their stories and taking them out of it is almost impossible.
kind of intertaining is so todays hollywood
Let this be a lesson to all the woke garbage western companies to leave anime alone.
we would all love anime to be lame and PC like hollywood
My hope died when nobody even questioned why king shark got healing abillitys....
It was obviously because the Gang got enhanced by magic by being in that isekai world.
The rest of the cast "did not question" it since they basically know nothing about each other at that point.
The same reason why they don't question how Clayface got additional powers since they just thought he can do those to begin with.
@@Snzn18 AND Clayface explains that later. And asks them if they noticed anything different about themselves. And Harley did. I think we´ll get a lot more of that later.
Batman Ninja was mid. Suicide squad looks good
I'm just happy to see DC characters in a story being made by the East without the woke bs that gets injected into every DC product over here
Isekai is the best genre. U influncers need to stop projecting ur bias on the rest of us. Everything dosen't need to be shonen fights all day. Some people like world building.
Isekai are not the best genre it’s the same basic thing story of someone being the strongest most of the time and they have a harem it’s so repetitive that’s most of them are just the same with different characters
Dude, one of my friends is a Gundam fan. He is outright sick and tired of Isekai. He wants Sci-fi shows. There's VERY LITTLE of those nowadays. I kinda tend to agree with him. Back in the day we had tons of amazing science fiction shows with their own world, like Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Tenchi Muyo, Megazone 23, Dominion Tank Police, Captain Harlock, etc. I can keep going with this list. Nowadays every single season is full of OP characters transported to another world that is generally a Fantasy world, just with some tiny twist. We are lucky if we get anything in the Sci-fi genre every other season now.
Honestly for me I prefer generic Fantasy, no other world adventure. Frieren is an example of an actual Fantasy, done correctly. You don't need every single character to be some transplant from our world. Heck, the only thing this season I'm really excited for is Wistoria.
@@radiermag only someone who doesn't watch Isekai would say that. The frame can sometimes be the same. But what happens inside the sandbox is rarely the same. Slime is building a nation. Log horizon built a civilization. Re zero has been traveling the world. And tne B tiers do a bunch of different random things with modern knowledge.
yeah so i'm only going to give it a chance just because it's written by the author of re:zero. Western media is just terrible, woke and it's also ruining anime. Need to gatekeep anime.
UH? Anime has been woke for a while. Go back at least 30 years or more. To get less woke stuff as you describe in your anime.
@@furynotes What?
definitely wont be officially supporting it. really don't want western sensibilities bleeding into Anime
yeah I hope it flops and they lose money so more western companies can leave the anime alone for the cultured japanese.
???. It has bleeding for 60 years. Do want to do some history homework. Find out the hard way or pretend that ah. East and West never touched or got influenced by each other ever. What world are living in. This is a dumb entitled take. I'd like to see many dumb takes.
@@furynotes If anyone needs to do some homework it's you, so you can fix that awful grammar. Also, no shit, creatives draw inspiration from other mediums. Doesn't mean they need to directly implant their ideology and sensibilities into the other artforms major FOREIGN studios. Learn some nuance too you mid wit.
I won't watch wastern goyslop, not even with the pseudo-anime mod / skin-pack they used to trick people into watching it.
fck yeah. fuck warner bros and fck netflix and crunchyroll too
