Suicide Squad ISEKAI

Watch it on: MAX, Hulu

There’s a genius to the simplicity of Suicide Squad ISEKAI: Send the DC universe’s team of villains into a tropey fantasy world, let them run wild, and hilarity will ensue. The Suicide Squad are well known enough now (thanks to two movies and a mediocre game) that the anime dosn’t have to work overtime to familiarize the audience with the characters and their whole deal. This iteration of the team keeps it mostly classic, with the likes of Harley Quinn, Peacemaker, King Shark, Deadshot and Clayface, though—as is so often the case with this lot—this has proven to be Harley’s show, and I’m not complaining at all.

Watching the oddball team of villains deal with the often tongue-in-cheek issues of a fantasy realm at war has proven to be a wonderful combination, and seeing more DC characters pop up in the future will only add to the fun. The show also retains the team’s signature penchant for violence, and it looks fantastic in its energetic and colorful animation style.
