Suicide Squad Isekai TV Series SPOILER FILLED Review


Warner Bros Pictures. right now really loves anime with them just releasing the debut trailer for The Lord Of The Rings: The War Of The Rohirrim and Rick And Morty: The Anime. As such it would be really understandable if people just straight up forgot about or even didn't know about this show even being a thing let alone the fact that it's just aired it's tenth and final episode and as such you all just knew that I had to review the show the very chance that I had as i'd been watching each and every single dubbed episode of the show when it was being released and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the show that technically marks DC's third ever foray into the world of anime with the show in question being called simply just "Suicide Squad Isekai" enjoy.

The plot of this show is when Task Force X finds itself trapped in another world they have to find away back to there own world all whilst trying to stop a war between the various factions in this new and strange world. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad but at the same time tho this shows plot wasn't all that good either as while yes it does just give us a stereotypical isekai type of plot only with DC characters it really doesn't do all that much that's actually interesting with the characters that they have instead alot of the time Task Force X spend alot of time just exploring the world that there i n and not really trying to find a way home it's only in a few select episodes where the plot of the show actually becomes the main vocal point of the episode and it's those episodes that are some of the best episodes in the show with the plot of this show also being really rather entertaining and as well as as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this show is Karlii Hoch as Dr. Harleen Quinzel / Harley Quinn and Jovan Jackson as Floyd Lawton / Deadshot. Also starring in this show is Sean Patrick Judge as Christopher Smith / Peacemaker , Brandon Hearnsberger as Basil Karlo / Clayface , Andrew Love as Nanaue / King Shark , Jeremy Gee as Rick Flag Jr. , Jasmine Renee Thomas as Amanda Waller , Genevieve Simmons as Tatsu Yamashiro / Katana , Luci Christian as Princess Fione , Patricia Duran as Queen Aldora / The Undead Queen , John Gremillion as Cecil , Adam Noble as Otis Flannegan / Ratcatcher , Jade Kelly as Lich , Jay Hickman as The Thinker , Christina Kelly as Dr. June Moon / Enchantress , Cyrus Rodas as Hank , Chaney Moore as Arthur The Dragon and Scott Gibbs as The Joker.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad. Which was kind of unexpected as alot of this shows voice cast are a bunch of really unknown voice actors and as a result of that is the fact that it really would have been foolish to expect good or even great acting from this shows voice cast and while the performances in this show aren't that great as alot of the shows cast give the characters weird voices with the best example of this being Scott Gibbs as The Joker goes from a character that sounds creepy and scary in Batman: The Animated Series to a character that sounds a bit to campy for his good and it gets to the point where instead of being scared of the character your laughing at the character as his voice is just that bad with the acting that's in this very show not really being helped by the fact that the scripts for this show are really bad as none of them give the actors much to work with interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities which is something that really does effect the overall quality pf the acting that's in this very show.


Doing the animation for this show is the legends and the really greats that are currently over at Wit Studio. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad as it's quite clear that there is alot of love and effort thrown into the animation in this show but at the same time this shows animation isn't all that good either with it being made painfully obvious in alot of episodes where they cut corners as they don't show the characters faces nor do they show characters lips moving which is something that does have the add on effect of making the show as a whole look cheap and while yes it's not unusual for a show to cut corners here and there to save money for the bigger and more expensive looking episodes but even in this show in those bigger and more expensive episodes there still cutting corners to save money on the animation instead of just going all out but when this show does have some good looking animation in it it really is some really good looking animation.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!!



The end of episode 10 does set up the possibility of a second season for this show but what it does is so dumb as it makes no sense. Since for strange reason The Joker has gained the ability to shape shift when at some point in the show he found himself in this world and has been going around as Katana which makes no sense as any version of The Joker doesn't really care for Harley as there in an abusive relationship and the only reason that he would want to rescue her is because it's something that benefits him or because he's bored and that's really it and he would never go and try to take over a new world as his whole thing is fighting Batman something which The Joker himself has said is something that he enjoys and heck even in The Lego Batman Movie he nearly destroyed the whole world just because Batman didn't say that he hated The Joker and yet for some strange reason this show thought it was a good hook to have the character appear in a tease for a potential second season which OK does make sense as he is a popular character and having him in the shows second season would bring more eyes to the show buy at the same time it's also something that needs to make sense for the character and not just be there for the sake of being there.

To give this show some credit the Task Force X characters are really fun characters with alot of them acting exactly how you think that they would. Yet they would also change things up like for example Clayface is pretty much an anime fan who explains all the ins and outs of an isekai to the team which can be pretty funny at times and Harley later on in the show becomes a mother figure to the teams dragon which again does lead to some fun scenes but neither of them are things that play into the shows plot with Arthur The Dragon being there basically to fly Harley close enemies in action scenes and that's really it but that's the golden treatment compared to what the rest of the characters get as none of this shows characters are given anything interesting about them which would work for the comic book characters as then you could always chalk it up to the fact that they have literal decades worth of comics to get there personalities across but for the shows newer characters that's not an excuse and heck the shows newer characters even disappear from the show for episodes at time so much so that it would be understandable if you all forgot that those characters were even in this show in the first place and yet towards the shows end it's those characters that go on to play a much more bigger role in the show this is despite the fact that these characters disappear for huge chunks of the show.


The shows villain is The Undead Queen who is a character that can control armies of the dead which on paper does sound cool and it does lead to some really cool action sequences in episodes 6 and 10. However at the same time the show does nothing unique with that idea like for example since Clayface does technically die in a few episodes how cool would it have been if she was able to control and have him then have to struggle between killing this truly evil person or kill the people that he's grown to like over the course of the show and yet the show does none of that and infact they don't even have the events of episode six where a good few members of Task Force X appear dead infront of Harley in any meaningful way outside of one reference in episode 9 and that's really it and that's not really good enough as something like that should effect Harley as a character and make her want to do better but all it does is leave her the exact same character and heck even the shows main villain doesn't really appear until the end of episode 9 with her appearing in other episodes as a version of Queen Aldora which does technically mean that she's dead and that Princess Fione might now technically be the queen of this world and yet having her appear that late in the shows run really doesn't help the character as it means that the character really doesn't have the chance to get across what her end goal is nor does it give us the audience a reason to hate this character either as we've not had the time to get really get to know this character as a villain.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty four minuets and forty one seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this show to have and to this episodes credit it really does have more then enough plot to really cover that amount of running time and yet at the exact same time tho this episode really could have been longer as it has so much to wrap as this is a show that really doesn't need a season two and yet this show doesn't end with the team going back to our world which makes no sense as the whole point of the show has been about the team trying to get back to our world and that is something that really could have been covered in this episode and yet they don't do it and instead they chose to end the show on a pointless cliffhanger with The Joker with his scene just being there for the sake of being there and not because of the fact that adds anything to his character and while yes this episode does have a really good running time to it at the same time there are portions of this episode that do feel like filler like we don't need to see Peacemaker and King Shark fighting Killer Croc as that adds nothing to the episode and really could have been left on the cutting room floor but I really will admit that this episode and this show as a whole really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in his very show was in all honesty really good. With the action in this show being where the show gets to be the most fun as we get to see the team use the powers that they got when they entered this new world at various stages alot of which do lead to some really fun scenes like for example Harley can now make things bigger and Deadshot can now hit things miles away and things like that which is great as it's true to there characters and heck even in episode ten they all get a Sailor Moon esk transformation sequence which then leads to  really fun battle against an army of the undead and it;s that very action scene that's the best looking action in the whole series as it's something that's been built up for a few a episodes and due to the fact that the battle started in episode nine it really does feel epic and like there are actual stakes involved which is something that does add to the overall excitement of the action scene itself in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!


Overall this was a solid series but it's one that could have been alot better and actually did something interesting with it's legacy characters and give us new characters that we want to see more and that we want to like instead of having them just be there for the sake of being there and that's really it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in his very show in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very show really earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies an gentlemen I personally got al of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official DC Database fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to really use to get the images from these very episodes that I really used in this very review being the really great Google Images simply just because of the fact that really due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are in this review really are all really from this very show and are really of course up and really on the really great Google Images are really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
