DC animation goes big in Japan with the announcement of the anime project Suicide Squad ISEKAI, featuring Harley Quinn, the Joker, and Amanda Waller. Warner Bros. Japan is teaming up with WIT Studio for this surprise anime presentation.
WIT Studio is best known for the anime series Attack on Titan and Spy x Family. The Isekai genre should be familiar to anime and manga fans, as well as video games, as it is a popular trope within these mediums. The idea of dropping the main characters in an unfamiliar and potentially dangerous world seems to have a universal appeal to otakus.
DC and Warner Bros. Japan shared the announcement and first trailer on their official social media, such as Twitter and YouTube.
The brief trailer gives off the familiar anime trappings of previous WIT Studio productions, though closer to the modern urban setting of Spy x Family than Attack on Titan. What little of the scenes shown in the 48-second teaser reveals the Joker and Harley will be involved in the story, as well as Amanda Waller.
