Reactions on Twitter regarding the trailer of the Suicide Squad anime
It was announced this Monday that there is going to be a Suicide Squad anime, sparking a lot of excitement for the project. The trailer was a major reason for that, with lots of fans excited to see Harley Quinn and The Joker, especially in anime format, which is a first for both characters.
The trailer focuses mainly on the character of Harley Quinn in the midst of her usual escapades and it also shows The Joker driving around in what presumably could be Gotham City, with some glimpses of the two characters together. It also shows the character of Amanda Waller, who is usually the one that sets up the Suicide Squad.
As of this writing, there are no further details about the story or the focus that it is going to have. The title of the Suicide Squad anime is Suicide Squad Isekai, so it could mean that that is the genre this project is looking at. For those that don’t know, isekai is the anime genre where characters are taken to a different reality for an adventure, usually this being a fantasy setting.
While the recent trailer has proven to be quite popular among fans, this is still early stages of the project and there isn’t a lot of information regarding the storyline, the voice actors, how many episodes is going to have, and so on. Therefore, this is fittingly just a teaser of what is to come in the near future.
The appeal of the Suicide Squad
The Suicide Squad is one of the most interesting properties when it comes to DC Comics. While the series has had a lot of changes over the years, the run made by writer and artist John Ostrander is usually the most popular, especially because it was the one that was adapted into films in 2016 and 2021.
Basically, the series is centered around minor DC villains that have been given an offer by government figure Amanda Waller: If they can accomplish a series of missions they are assigned, they can regain their freedom. However, the missions are so dangerous there is a very good chance of them dying in the process.
A Suicide Squad anime is going to have to cover that sense of danger and tension, since the classic comics had no qualms about killing some of the characters during each storyline.
