Warner Bros. Japan and WIT Studio announced a new anime series based on the DC Comics property Suicide Squad. The series, titled Suicide Squad Isekai, is scheduled to premiere in 2023.
The series will be an isekai anime, which means it will feature characters who are transported to another world. In the case of Suicide Squad Isekai, the characters who are transported are Harley Quinn, Deadshot, and King Shark.
The series is described as a "dark comedy" and will follow the Suicide Squad as they try to survive in a new and unfamiliar world. The series is expected to be directed by Eri Osada (The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat) and written by Tappei Nagatsuki (Re:Zero) and Eiji Umehara (Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song).
Character designs will be handled by Akira Amano (Reborn!) and Naoto Hosoda (The Devil is a Part Timer). Music will be composed by Kenichiro Suehiro (Princess Jellyfish, Cells at Work).
The Suicide Squad Isekai anime series is the latest in a growing trend of anime series that feature characters from Western franchises. In recent years, there have been anime series based on popular franchises such as Marvel, DC, and Star Wars.
This trend is likely due to the growing popularity of anime around the world, as well as the increasing willingness of Western studios to collaborate with Japanese studios.
