The Suicide Squad Isekai series had an appearance at the Anime Japan 2024 event
The Suicide Squad Isekai series was on the Red Stage of Anime Japan 2024 and was the one to kick off the event. It featured several of the main voice actors of the anime, such as Anna Nagase (Harley Quinn), Yūichirō Umehara (The Joker), Reigo Yamaguchi (Deadshot), Takehito Koyasu (Peacemaker), Jun Fukuyama (Clayface), Kujira (Amanda Waller), and a few more. Perhaps the most noticeable aspect of the stage was the confirmation that the anime was coming out in July.
There was also a new trailer, with scenes that have already been shown in previous promotional videos. The trailer showed more of the world the Squad is heading into, plus some extended battle sequences. The voice actors proceeded to talk about the roles of their characters and what fans of the property can expect from this project.
Another major highlight of the event was the introduction of Mori Calliope, who is the first VTuber to appear on Anime Japan, and the singer of the concluding track, Go-Getters, which also played in the trailer. Mori appeared in her digital avatar and expressed her excitement about fulfilling a lifelong dream of singing a song for an anime.
Details about the project
Based on what was shown in the trailers, the anime adaptation continues the approach from the Suicide Squad comics, with this group of criminals being tasked by government agent Amanda Waller to deal with a major threat in exchange for their freedom. They are sent to a fantasy world with monsters and magic, having to help a kingdom deal with an impending threat.
As is common with this series, Harley Quinn, Peacemaker, King Shark, and a few more villains have nano bombs that are going to explode in 72 hours if they are not successful within that time frame.
