Suicide Squad Isekai

Suicide Squad Isekai (異世界スーサイド・スクワッド) is a Japanese anime television series based on the Suicide Squad from DC Comics.[3] Presented by Warner Bros. Japan, it is produced by Wit Studio and directed by Eri Osada, with series composition and screenplay by Tappei Nagatsuki and Eiji Umehara, character designs by Naoto Hosoda, based on the original character designs by manga artist Akira Amano, and music by Kenichiro Suehiro.[4][5][6][7]

The ten-episode series premiered with three episodes on June 27, 2024, licensed by HBO Max and Hulu in the United States, with several international regions also streaming on various other services on the same day.[8] It aired from July 6 to September 7 in the same year on Tokyo MX and BS11.[9]

The opening theme song is "Another World" composed by Tomoyasu Hotei,[10] while the ending theme song is "Go-Getters" performed by Hololive-affiliated VTuber Mori Calliope.[11]

Synopsis

Amanda Waller, director of A.R.G.U.S., sends a team consisting of dangerous criminals Harley Quinn, Clayface, Deadshot, Peacemaker and King Shark on a mission to another world of magic and monsters. Joined by A.R.G.U.S. agent Rick Flag, this "Suicide Squad" is tasked with assisting a kingdom in battling against not only mythical creatures but also other super-villains that were sent to the other world before them. If they fail to complete their mission in time or attempt to flee, bombs installed in their bodies will blow up.[12][13]

Episodes

Note: Tomomi Kawaguchi joined series composition writers Tappei Nagatsuki and Eiji Umehara on screenplay for episodes 5, 7, and 9

Development

According to Hiroyuki Ōmori in a July 2023 interview, he recalled around three/four years that Warner Brothers Japan pitched the idea of an anime from an existing DC comic title and approached Wit Studio if they were interested.[26] He later said the following year in an interview with Newtype Japan that development on the anime began after the first Suicide Squad film was released.[27]

Marketing

To promote the anime, an "Isekai Great Villain Violent Party" was held at AnimeJapan in March 2024.[28]

In December 2023, the first official trailer was released.[29] In June 2024, a 30-second trailer was released online.[30] A webtoon version was released the following month through Line Manga and Jump Toon.[31]
