For those who are not avid anime watchers, an isekai is a type of manga or anime in which characters are sent to another world, typically one with a high fantasy theme. As they explore their new surroundings, characters usually find that they have received overpowering magical talents or unique abilities.
The concept of subverting expectations has become popular in anime and manga over the past few years, particularly in isekai projects. Examples of this include the protagonist arriving in another world and discovering that he's still a regular human or that he has been transported to become the new Demon King instead of the hero.
Eri Osasda will be directing the Suicide Squad Isekai series for WIT, which features a screenplay written by Tappei Nagatsuki and Eiji Umehara, character designs from Akira Amano and Naoto Hasodo, and music from Kenchiro Suehiro.
The voice cast features Anna Nagase as Harley Quinn, Yuuichirou Umehara as the Joker, Reigo Yamaguchi as Deadshot, Jun Fukuyama as Clayface, Taku Yashiro as Rick Flag and Kujira as the voice of Amanda Waller.
Official Synopsis: In the crime-ridden city of Gotham, Amanda Waller, the head of A.R.G.U.S., has assembled a group of notorious criminals for a mission: Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Peacemaker, Clayface, and King Shark.
