The isekai genre is now a staple of anime, which usually involves throwing a modern-day protagonist into a fantasy world. The flashy and captivating Suicide Squad-vibes look to work well with mythical elements of isekai in the latest teaser. WIT Studio (Attack on Titan Seasons 1-3, Ranking of Kings, Spy x Family) showcases its animation expertise through the seamless integration of the two, seen through the video’s eye-catching action sequences and well-timed scenes.
Accompanying the trailer is the catchy opening song, “Another World”, composed by Tomoyasu Hotei. Tomoyasu is most well known for his song Battle Without Honor or Humanity, which has been featured in films such as Kill Bill and Transformers.

An official description of the story is as follows:
“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. These Super-Villains are sent into an otherworldly realm that’s connected to this world through a gate. It’s a world of swords and magic where orcs rampage and dragons rule the skies—an “ISEKAI”!
With lethal explosives planted in their necks, there’s no running or hiding, and failing the mission means a one-way ticket to the afterlife!”
An official website for Suicide Squad Isekai is also listed in the video, which currently redirects visitors to the official DC website.
Helming the project is Eri Osada, Jujutsu Kaisen chief animation director, with the screenplay written by Nagatsuki Tappei (Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another World) and Umehara Eiji (Vivy – Fluorite Eye’s Song). Amano Akira (Katekyo Hitman Reborn, eIDLIVE) crafted the character design drafts, and Hosoda Naoto (Seiren, Digimon: The Movie key animator) designed the characters for the series. Suehiro Kenichiro (Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another World, Golden Kamuy) will be working on the music for this series.
