Suicide Squad Isekai

The one good thing I can say about this show is the characters are animated well and are drawn beautifully. The CGI doesn't feel out of place like the bad ones we tend to notice. The good aspects of the show ends there. This show was unneeded for the franchise. The plot is all over the place and doesn't establish itself as knowing what it wants until the last few episodes (way too late into the game). It felt like I was watching a cash-grab. Isekai as a genre is already oversaturated; I was betting on this to be good based on the team behind the serie. But what I got was something half baked

Suicide Squad Isekai is an inconsistent but enjoyable watch. As a massive DC comics fan I really enjoyed seeing characters from the universe I love so much brought to the medium I love so much. WIT weren’t always perfect during this show’s run, but when they cooked, they really cooked. At its peak the animation is stellar and the characters are great. The main weaknesses you’ll find here are the pacing and inconsistent production values. That aside, a really good watch that I will miss. Isekai Suicide Squad is basically your run of the mill isekai plot except with the Suicide Squad characters and the usual Amanda Waller “I’ll blow your head off if you disobey me gimmick” now for me, that’s more than enough to hook because I freaking love Harley Quinn and these characters. Ever since the 2016 suicide squad film I’ve been a fan of the team and I’ve been a Harley stan since BTAS. So just having those sort of diverse personalities, which is a total contrast to the usual anime characters you get in a fantasy, is more than good enough for me. The team helps out a kingdom in the midst of war and we see our DC group form some really cool friendships with people in the isekai world. Some cool fights, couple cool plot twists and your expected foul mouthed dialogue. It ain’t revolutionary but damn it’s fun as a comic fan. Now, that’s the good, but unfortunately this show did have some bad. For starters the pacing is pretty bad for like the first half of the show. It takes a really long time building up and a couple episodes felt like they could’ve been filler. Now in a show with only 10 episodes that’s obviously not good. The animation also went to abysmal levels around episode 4, reaching its worst point during the dragon fight scene in episode 5. It does seem like that was an outsourced episode and things got gradually better from that point onwards culminating in a solid close to the series and some great action in episode 9. But beware. The other issue I have with this is how claustrophobic the world felt. I mean the entirety of the show basically takes place in one country’s castle. We don’t do much exploring, adventuring or really getting that proper isekai experience other than the fantastical medieval setting. That was a bit of a bummer for me because I think they could’ve done more with the world. Character rise let’s be real, we know any show with Harley Quinn is going to be dominated by her and she’s definitely the protagonist of this one and gets the bulk of the focus. Her relationship with the princess as well as joker are big in this even though the latter isn’t in the story a lot physically he is omnipresent due to his influence over Harley and for once it’s pretty positive. Clayface and King Shark I thought were dope and then Deadshot, peacemaker and Flagg in that order in terms of story relevance. Could’ve been better but with only 10 eps you’re a little limited. I think on the whole WIT did a solid job. It’s not the best show ever but it was very fun and I hope it leads to us getting more DC superhero content in anime form soon, especially with the popularity of My Adventures with Superman and DC turning to manga for characters like Superman and Joker. Isekai Squad Suicide gets 7 bats out of 10.

The plot doesn't make sense, but that's also what makes it so good. In short, I feel like they did a pretty good job in making a fun show to watch without really fussing on having to think deeply about its content. The only experience I had previously with Suicide Squad was the 2021 movie, which got me to know a couple of characters here (some are from other DC works) but even then they all felt varied and fresh. The fights were generally good and well animated (barring episode 1 which was pretty bad, and barring the random CGI monsters). OST was also on point, and the ED song was really good (the original reason I came to watch this show). If you want to turn off your brain and have fun, I feel like this show does just that.

i'm glad this show exist, it's pure and honest dumb fun, this anime doesn't takes it self so serious, it knows what it is, and i'm kinda sad that at the end they teased a 2nd season, that probably won't happen, because outside of people mocking the idea and existence of this, i saw nobody talking about it, so i hope that at least it does well in japan for it to get another season, but if you are a die hard comic fan or fan of an specific member of the squad you probably won't enjoy this, because these interpretations are the most out there that i've seen, i personally loved most of them (except harley and joker, but mostly because i'm tired of how much dc push them in everything, i know they're they most popular characters, so that's inevitable, but still, this jokar potray ufffff this was the most hot topic joker i've eveer seen, been beated only by jared leto joker, but i'm still interested to see what would they do with him in an hipotetical 2nd season), i don't know who idea was to make clayface a fuckboy weeb, but man i'm glad he was, you don't have an idea of how much i enjoyed him, my only problem it's that i can't see this clayface as villain to batman, he seems to nice to be doin crimes, but other than that i found him very entertaining, deadshot was pretty cool, i like how he well he worked with al the members of the squad, and how cool he was without trying to much (like will smith's deadshot that tryed way to much to act and being cool), peacemaker i'm not much familiar with this character outside the movie he was previously in, but i loved how unhinged and stoic he was most of the time, and of top of that he was voiced by takehito koyasu, who's always nice to hear, and king shark was cute i guess, i don't have to much to say about him, he worked really well with the rest of the cast, so i'm glad he's here, so if you watch this, don't expect too much, lower your expectations, don't expect an adaptation of the suicide squad members as you know them, because they're mostly not, and just i don't know turn off your brain, this is one of those animes you watch while eating and don't think too much of it, because the history it's just there to make these characters look cool, and man if they look cool, i was surprised by how nice this anime looks, wit did a nice job, it's not perfect, there are some cuts that looks off, but this anime looks mostly good, so give it a try

I finished this show being left with only 1 question, what the hell did people expect? My confusion when it comes to this show's reception was only matched by the time I stepped on a Lego, for it to just disappear and never be found... So bare with me for a sec. From episode 1 I was seeing a dangerously notable amount of complaints about the animation being bad which if you have ever held a pen in your hand you would realize how absurd that claim is. As if I hadn't already been convinced that the anime community didn't know what good animation is, this was going to be the final nail on the coffin, but against all odds as the show went on... there was some level of truth to it. So the thing is, aside from episode 5 that had a decent amount of let's just say, not so great cuts, every episode of the show looks great in a vacuum, but when you look at them together.... There is a pretty serious lack of consistency. the show changes visuals, the characters change models (except Harley cause she hot), the way the fights are drawn, the way the movement is handled, everything is constantly changing. and the thing is none of it is bad, and if like me you're on the lenient side with visual consistency as long as it looks good, it won't bother you that much.... but it makes the show's visual as a whole feel messy. Extremely polished messy, but messy. It's like a dish 20 chefs made using top class ingredients while not communicating and passing the dish together hoping it works out by the end. and It probably won't taste horrible, but you clearly taste the.... wait, what was I talking about? oh yeah, the show. Everything else is exactly what you expect. It's a suicide squad anime held back by being forced to follow a generic isekai outline. The soundtrack is amazing and the op and ed are also both really good. Anime Harely Quinn is hot and entertaining in the best way possible.... the rest of the cast are fine too I guess. The best (and worst) part of the whole thing is, the way it has been set up, a s2 would top this one in every way possible. As you see in the final episode, the conflict they set up for the sequal is infinitely more interesting than the generic shlob that was the villain of s1. and the princess actually was set to become really interesting going forward. Idk about you, but I smelled a bit of a yuri in the air. could just be my imagination though. Anyway, go in expecting it to be what it is, and you won't be disappointed. If you're a fan of suicide squad, firstly, I'm sorry for the sheer amount shit you have went through. but also this is actually in the great zone as far as none comic suicide squad media goes. If you're an isekai trash enjoyer, I see no reason for why you wouldn't enjoy this. I guess it's not as much of a power fantasy, but it has all the other elements that make the genre what it is. to me that's a negative, but that's besides the point. If you want a great story, or top tier writing, or an emotionally rich experience in a fantasy world, go watch frieren or made in abyss or something. This is popcorn entertainment at it's (almost) finest. And there is a severe lack of rule34 from it. Like let's not lie to ourselves, 90% of us watched this for anime Harely.

As someone who really enjoyed the original Suicide Squad movie, I was really excited for this anime, though I had some reservations about the decision to make it an isekai Anime. And that worry turned out to be justified. The whole thing ended up being painfully average, with a story that felt forced and eventually spiraled into an incoherent mess by the end. I feel like there was so much potential here but it was all wasted. The opening is an uninspiring mashup of music, characters from the fantasy world have shallow backstories and are painfully stereotypical, the world-building is practically nonexistent, and the plot is dull, forced, and confusing. I feel like the biggest problem in all of this is that they opted to make the story into an isekai. The anime market is so over saturated with isekais these days which makes it so hard to stand out in the genre. And the fantasy world in " Isekai Suicide Squad " is quite frankly even below average, which causes the entire project to suffer. There's plot twists which are there to keep the story interesting but you can mostly smell them miles away. The animation can get choppy and goofy at times which just further adds to the negatives, though admittedly some fights in the later episodes were animated well and ended up being enjoyable. When it comes to the positives, I always try to be fair to shows and give it the benefit of the doubt. The show did a good job in advertising itself and I had seen a lot of posts on social media and trailers long before it even started airing. And let's be honest here, capitalizing on the trend of western franchises getting anime adaptations was a clever strategy. "Suicide Squad" is a name many people are familar with, which makes it easy to get people interested in your anime. The DC villains were drawn really well and especially Harley Quinn looked phenomenal. In fact, Harley Quinn was one of the few highlights of this adaptation. Her character design, voice acting, and overall portrayal all came together so well. In the end, this turned out to be a huge disappointment, though my high expectations likely played a big part in how let down I felt. There's just too many issues that prevent you from truly enjoying "Isekai Suicide Squad" and I honestly also cannot recommend this to anyone curious whether they should watch it or not. It was average, though you could also make a case for it being even worse and I would fully agree. It's sad, but this one truly missed the mark.

Do you like Harley Quinn? Maybe the Joker series in general? This is the show for you! You should not watch the show for plot or world boulding, but for the characters. The show feels true to the vibe of suicide squad, and you watch them go on stupid adventures together as themselves. Kind of feels like suicide squad dnd. Have you ever wondered how a bunch of DC villains deal with goblins or kabolds? Wonder no more! Suicide Squad Isekai will answer that question and more. Highlights: * The music is a banger. Love that they didn't go for the classic go lucky isekai openings. Instead it is a musical number by Tomoyasu Hotei that is very in tune with the tone of the anime. Can't forget the ending song by our boy Mori Calliope. Although that one is more goofy, which also fits well with the anime. * Also the soundtrack is also awesome! Made by Kenichiro Suehiro who also made the soundtrack for RE:Zero and Goblin Slayer! They made it both funky and jazzy which is so lovely to hear for a series about villains! But in the serious moments, then the orchestra came in and muhwa!

I want to like this series more than I do. As pure turn your brain off fun, it's not a bad time by any means. The sakuga goes hard when they go all out, the characters are varied and have the kind of zany personalities you would expect for something like this, and the setting lends itself to some ridiculousness. The trouble is two-fold. One, and the lighter of my complaints, I just don't think it does much to justify the setting beyond "wouldn't this be cool!?" Maybe that's kind of the point, that this fantasy world is a playground where our characters can have wild adventures, but they keep hinting at deeper dynamics with its monsters, kingdoms and magic that just never manifest. Worse yet, at least from where I'm sitting, they don't use that setting to the fullest. You would think that bringing these characters into a magical world would mean we'd get to see all kinds of crazy interplay between magic and their various powers and skillsets, but there's surprisingly little of it until very near the end. It's a wasted opportunity to make this as crazy as possible, though admittedly when its at its craziest, there's not a lot you can make out behind all the magic circles and colorful attacks. Two, this series is based on existing IP. The Suicide Squad has canon behind it, and while I don't know a lot of it and don't expect this series to mirror everything (I personally don't mind that the relationship between Harley and The Joker is significantly lighter and more loving on his side - the abusive relationship has been done to death), I think it should get some of the major beats right. Haven't given my thoughts on this one up til now, but generally speaking, I expect three things from my Suicide Squad content: characters should die, their allegiances should always be in question, and they should wreck some shit. On all three fronts, I'd say this work fell short. It never felt like any of the main characters were in any substantial danger, though I'll hand it to the show that they're not exactly kind to the villains who they defeat. The characters just align with the main kingdom and there's rarely an indication that they're even considering working their own angles beyond doing what they have to in order to stay alive. And while they do cause a good deal of damage, it's usually to the enemy. There's generally very little sense that our main characters are or were villains. I think hitting these marks were the low-hanging fruit to make this anime work, and while it hits some of them from time-to-time, but misses more often. So while this was a decent enough popcorn watch, it's almost all empty calories that surprisingly doesn't go as hard as it could while failing to capitalize on the best parts of the IP.

When I started watching I had high expectations, because it's an isekai with DC villains, like what's the chance of being disappointed? Well... the characters don't always manage to make an uninteresting story interesting. My biggest complaint is the story, in my opinion it's boring, lots of random characters involved, the fact that they wanted to transform the suicide squad into a squad of heroes didn't work. To be honest the firsts episodes caught my attention, but after watching a few episodes I lost interest and only finished it out of curiosity if the ending would be good. And I was disappointed again...

This anime despite all it's flaws, ended up being a really fun watch. That being said, I can't look over said flaws. Let's starts with the inconsistent animation an art style, some of these characters look like they're from completely different shows. If you put Harley Quinn and Deadshot or Clayface side by side, it looks like they came from alternate universes. Now the animation, I get it was most likely budget cuts, but the fight scenes in the beginning and middle portion looked like they were either missing frames or just slow in general. Thankfully, when they start fighting with other DC villains, the fight scenes increase tenfold and have way more of that Studio WIT charm we all expected. Now the characters, other than Harley Quinn, I couldn't really get invested in anyone else apart of the squad. Clayface is an actor and references media and tropes, that's about all they do with him. Peacemaker is straight-faced and stoic, but can get scary. Deadshot is.. I can't really explain him, he seems like the straight man of the group I guess. and King Shark is..well, a shark that is always hungry. Along with the main group, there is also other DC villains thrown into this isekai world that are also part of the suicide squad comics such as Enchantress and Katana. They're fine, I guess. They don't have any major role other than being an obstacle later on. Now let's get into the big reason why this show isn't as good as people anticipated, the actual isekai part. It. is. boring. As the suicide squad find a battle between human soldiers and orcs, they decide to intervene and kill all the orcs. However, since they can't communicate with them, the soldiers capture them and throw them in prison. They meet the queen and her daughter, they participate in some fights for the kingdom, and then they get thrown in jail again. rinse and repeat until the last few episodes of the series. The people from the isekai world are just so. freaking. boring. they don't like the otherworlders, except for the daughter of the queen. That's about it. the pros like I mentioned are definitely the last 4 episodes, they go all out with the animation and fanservice for DC fans. The music is a plus too, the ending is by Vtuber Mori Calliope and it's a super fun song, the opening is pretty unique too, doing a more Baccano approach where it's just an instrumental, except instead of jazz, it's music you'd hear from a superhero action scene. Is this show worth watching? I'd say so, not for the plot, but for the action. My expectations were let down a bit, this was not nearly as good as I was hoping, but it's a fun watch. it's only 10 episode long too, so you can probably finish it in a day if you had the time.

Overall I don't think this anime is as bad as the score it has, but I can't say it's good or recommend it to you either. It all comes down to personal taste! The first drawback for me is that the beginning of the story is too complicated, for some viewers it will definitely feel uncomfortable and difficult to digest the contents of this anime story, between people who are doing research to create Isekai holes, and people who are committing theft. At this point I almost stopped continuing, but I was trying to enjoy this anime so I kept watching. The second flaw is in the comedy part, is this anime actually going to focus on comedy or not? Wondering about this! If this anime is going to be combined with comedy, at least make the comedy funny and not weird to watch! Often when there is a scene that I think shouldn't have comedy, suddenly a joke slips in which I think just ruins the atmosphere. Not only jokes, but the soundtrack is the same, suddenly changing into a soundtrack that sounds comedic, or relaxed or whatever to describe a situation that seems comedic. For almost the entire episode, I didn't laugh or feel entertained at all with this overly contrived and unfunny comedy! The third flaw is clearly in the art style, for some characters it seems like they were just made carelessly, especially their boss who has big lips and curly hair. Some of them seem to use an old-school art style and some of them use a modern art style, like the princess who is drawn quite nicely. There's actually quite a lot I want to say, but that's enough for the gist of my review, Once again I can't say whether I recommend or not this anime, Because whether it's good or bad depends on you who watch it! But one thing I want to say, the score describes the content of the anime but is not to be used as a benchmark, because there are quite a few anime with high scores that turn out to be bad and vice versa.

Superheroes in an isekai is a good idea. Supervillains in an isekai is an even better idea, and Tappei's Suicide Squad Isekai is a decent execution of that concept. The cast is charming, and while the show spend too much runtime on fighting to really develop its characters, it helps that they're known IPs and anyone who's seen the James Gunn movie, for example, will appreciate the show not wasting their time. To me who's not really a fan of American superheroes, this rendition of the suicide squad is the definitive version for me. Harley Quinn especially feels like she was always meant to be an anime girl. Story-wise, I felt like it dragged a bit in the middle, but it was overall fine. The first few episodes were a great start, acknowledging the novelty of the concept and delivering a lot of hype moments, and the twist at the end was interesting. However it became apparent that it wasn't really as creative as it could be, like they wrote the most natural story that came to mind from the "Suicide Squad Isekai" concept without really seeing where it could go. Overall a perfectly good DC work and battle anime, but nothing too groundbreaking.

Suicide Squad Isekai is not Warner Bros. first go around at an anime featuring its characters. There is already the memorable Batman Ninja. However, it is the first time it combined the popular isekai genre with these assholes, pardon the language, from the Suicide Squad. So, it has your Japanese occidentalist fantasy setting, with elves, beatmen, dragons, and a whole lot of magic. It even has a loli death god for a final boss. The American contribution is the ultraviolence this particular set of characters have a penchant for. This version of the Squad even have their own magical girl transformation scene. The animation is superb, about as well as can be expected from the Studio Wit. The producers must pull out the stops because this is a collaboration that can’t fail., However, the story is all over the place. There are several story points that remain unresolved, and it felt like the plot was just going around in circles. It is not as obvious when you are watching an episode weekly, but when you are binge watching, it will feel repetitive at times. This is a good show to watch with your brain off and just enjoy the quality animation poured into it. If you are a DC comics fan who enjoys a bit of guilty pleasure isekai stories, this is for you. If you want to watch the hypnotic Amanda Waller dance number at the end credits, give in and enjoy it.

It's just the suicide squad story line, with the change from another nation, to another world. The only amazing part about this animation was the visuals. The story is mainly a bad combo of it takes 2, with some elements from gate, but mainly just the generic storyline from suicide squad.,. Basically, something I hoped it wasn't going to be and wel already saw from the trailer. The story isn't a generic isekai, but it's not like they are bringing something new to the tale when it comes to "suicide squad". I'm srr, but if you like anime and mainly consume anime and not cartoons, this won't be the best thing to watch. Taste is basically a personal thing and I like things which I know a lot of people wouldn't even watch if they would receive a billion euro and 2 million lamas, however, with such a lame storytelling, which makes even the lamest of lamest isekais look really well written like "how a realist hero rebuilt the kingdom" I wouldn't really recement it, besides the "visuals" which are quite good.

When the trailer came out, I was very excited for this anime. But not that long after the series came out, I saw a lot of bad reviews and mixed opinions. I only now decided to watch it myself, and to be honest, I had expected a lot worse from what I've seen online. In my opinion, it is refreshing to see a different approach to such loved characters such as Harley Quinn and the Joker. If you watch this with certain expectations of how it will play out, especially if you're very used to the traditional stories of DC, you must let these expectations go in order to enjoy this short series. Of course, they still have their iconic personality types, but the storyline and lore differ a bit from the originals, for example the relationship between Harley and the Joker. I really like the outfits in this anime. They are very unique and well drawn in my opinion, especially in the last episode. I do feel like they should have spread this story over more episodes, since it feels a bit rushed and might be a bit confusing if you don't pay enough attention, but for a quick watch it's fine. Overall, I'd say just watch it yourself. This is a series you either like or don't, but personally I feel like a lot of the reviews I see on TikTok and Instagram are super dramatic. It's not that bad really.

Suicide Squad is pretty alright for the most of the anime but it a little PG and that doesn't make sense considering who they are and it's not like anime never did diabolical stuff but that's a minor problem for me . All of the characters are mostly okay with the exception of original characters that the anime introduced . I do not like any of those characters and it's hard to care when they don't do anything until the very final moments of the show . I'm familiar with all the characters from DC that are in this anime as most DC fans would be . Harley Quinn is cute and fun but you don't feel that she's a psycho at all Deadshot is just there and doesn't really do a whole lot other than bicker with characters and shoot enemies King Shark was nice and pretty much the mascot Peacemaker is perhaps the one that's closest to normal Peacemaker which is sick and badass Clayface tho is the most different and easily the best and most entertaining aspect of this anime Clayface is a brilliant character wasted in this mediocre show . Suicide Squad Isekai embraces all the generic isekai tropes and it's really fun some other characters like Enchantress and Rick Flag are pretty fun It's interesting to see well established and famous DC characters just exist in an anime and specifically an anime that embraces all of the common tropes but outside of that .... not much else to offer . This isn't for DC fans because all of the characters are very little like their definitive versions . This ain't for anime fans because it's just not good enough of an anime to warrant a watch . Suicide Squad is for the people who like both such as me .

The low-score people have for this anime is justified. There are multiple problems. However, if you love Isekai-anime and/or love suicide squad, you will likely enjoy this! Also a certain someone has some mad dance moves in the ending ;) Content-wise it's a general save the other world type thing, but with a suicide squad twist. Since it's an isekai world, not DC-world, it allows some interesting abilities. Style-wise it's kind of nice but seems to be kind of low-tier in a lot of ways, while also being very pleasing to me. I love the fun and incoherent teamwork that just manages to work. The squad is so much fun to watch and ~every-other episode gets a Joker memory which is both fun to watch and fun to have Harley bring up. The villains (Director lady (in my eyes) and obvious person who's obvious) disgust me and hate seeing or hearing them. If you don't like it after the first episode, you probably won't like it at all.

This is a good isekai for people who think they don't like isekai (Which includes me). The animation is quite good. The character design is excellent and probably the best part of the show. It is also probably a better Suicide Squad adaptation than we got in either movie or the super-hyped-up video game. Clayface, who seems to be the only character who really understands what it means to be isekai'd, which can be pretty funny. Also, this depiction of Clayface is better because he retains his identity of Basil Karlo, a famous Hollywood actor, and is not just a monster. Problems with this series are that it has a pretty shallow plot, and there is never any real peril, but it is still a fun watch. I would watch a season 2.

TLDR If you're looking for a very well animated action packed show with the stupidest story imaginable, this is right there for you, and that's exatly what I expected from it. ------------------------------------------------------------- This show's plot makes absolutely no sense, it's even very stupid at times, and the ending is really dumb, but what else are you expecting from an anime about the suicide squad being thrown into another world? A world that is more generic than vanilla ice cream at that. I came into this expecting dumb fun and what I got was exactly what I expected, this is an amazingly animated, action packed adventure with the dumbest plot imaginable, but that still beats 90% of Isekai coming out. But I cannot enphasize enough how boring the world is, it's SO GENERIC. Watch it if you're in the mood for some dumb fun with a lot of Harley Queen sakuga.

[I made this review back at November 2024 on Anilist. I'm just transferring it here since I'm using MAL a bit more again] So, to be fair, I'm not that good on writing reviews for animes yet (or for anything that isn't a game), but since it's the first DC anime separated by episodes (I think), I got curious and decided to watch and try to write something at least for this one Being honest, I thought it would be way worse. Of course, we got the James Gunn movie, but besides that we got the David Ayer movie and Kill The Justice League which has to be the worst thing that we got about this story. Because of that, I was hoping to watch the worse thing ever. But...it's actually ok. Not as remarkable as it could be, but not as bad as it sounds either. The animation fells a little inconsistent. Like, there were some times that I personally thought it looked great, but there were others that I didn't like much (especially when they're fighting a dragon just to get their equipment back). Though it's hard for me to really analyze that part since, even if it's an important aspect, it's not one that bothers me that much unless it's literally unwatchable or near it, and fortunately ISS doesn't reach that level The songs I just remember the ending one. No jokes, most of them just feels as background music that was made for that moment not be in entire silence. Even the opening one I can't remember anything since it was so basic. Not bad songs, but nothing I would want to hear more times or that it got on my head at any point The story is...there. I don't really know if the writing is bad or if it's just that the idea feels so generic to a DC show that I really wasn't paying that much attention, but I swear that the most I can remember is that they're transported to that medieval world to collect resources, and they have an timed bomb implanted on their necks so if they tried anything funny they would die (I do remember the final plot twist though, but I'll not talk about it because of spoilers. Although I think it's a little predictable and generic) Probably it was made just to focus on the action The characters are good on the DC side. I don't feel that Harley and Joker are as crazy as they normally are, but I think this is probably because it's an anime (although I think they really did made Joker more calmer, even if he drives a car THAT THE STEERING WHEEL IS A FREAKING PIANO). Also, something funny is that I thoungh Harley would be my favourite character there since she is the most popular on the bunch and is the one that is always on the Suicide Squad team (I think). But in the end my favourite one was actually Clayface. I can't really explain why, but he did ended up being the most fun to see on screen (and through the entire anime I kept making jokes about he being on the "Michael Jackson" archetype of character) Now for the characters from the medieval world...I barely remember anything about them. Besides Aldora, Fione and Cecil, I really don't feel that any character was that important for the story, and even those three was not that interesting. I think I do prefer Fione because of the end, but even with their importance, they were not anything special Like I said, I did thought it would be way worse before watching it, but it was kinda fun. However...I don't know if I would recommend this or not. It's fun, but easily forgettable since there is literally zero things that can make it special somehow. Giving the ending scene, there is probably some plans to make an second season, but I doubt that they will do it (and regardless if they do it or not, I don't think there will be that much difference)
