Suicide Squad ISEKAI is a cryptic yet intriguing new anime coming from WB Japan. The teaser trailer showcases Harley Quinn and the Joker venturing into another world, or possibly multiple worlds, adding an exciting twist to the familiar characters we’ve come to know and love.

The term ‘isekai’ is a Japanese word that translates to ‘another world’. It’s a staple genre of anime and East Asian storytelling, known for its unique tropes and conventions. The decision to place a distinctly American property like Suicide Squad into this genre is a fascinating one. Led by a Japanese team that understands these conventions and is likely to subvert them, the show promises to be an interesting blend of cultures and storytelling traditions.
