WIT Studio's upcoming Suicide Squad Isekai has received a new trailer ahead of the series debut in July. It does look like an interesting place to take the dysfunctional anti-hero troupe and DC does have a pretty good track record with its animated projects, so fingers crossed this is a worthy outing for Harley & Co.
The show has also been gifted a new key visual:
Rounding out the news, More Calliope also made a statement regarding the ending theme, titled "Go Getters"
"When I first debuted, one of my biggest dreams was to someday write and perform songs for anime. I didn’t actually think it would come true, but I always hoped. This song is a vibrant celebration of feelings I’ve learned to treasure while being an artist- be yourself, unapologetically and without shame. Even if people villainize you, live loud and proud and be true to yourself. These are words I needed to hear myself, and so I wrote them for myself and for all of us. Please enjoy the electrifying beats provided by Giga and Teddyloid, as well!"
About Suicide Squad Isekai, from the Press Release:
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! Can Harley Quinn and her crew conquer this perilous ISEKAI realm?! Brace yourselves for the pulse-pounding saga of the elite task force known as the “Suicide Squad” as they embark on a jaw-dropping adventure!
