Review of Suicide Squad Isekai

Superheroes in an isekai is a good idea. Supervillains in an isekai is an even better idea, and Tappei's Suicide Squad Isekai is a decent execution of that concept. The cast is charming, and while the show spend too much runtime on fighting to really develop its characters, it helps that they're known IPs and anyone who's seen the James Gunn movie, for example, will appreciate the show not wasting their time. To me who's not really a fan of American superheroes, this rendition of the suicide squad is the definitive version for me. Harley Quinn especially feels like she was always meant to bean anime girl.
Story-wise, I felt like it dragged a bit in the middle, but it was overall fine. The first few episodes were a great start, acknowledging the novelty of the concept and delivering a lot of hype moments, and the twist at the end was interesting. However it became apparent that it wasn't really as creative as it could be, like they wrote the most natural story that came to mind from the "Suicide Squad Isekai" concept without really seeing where it could go. Overall a perfectly good DC work and battle anime, but nothing too groundbreaking.
