#Suicide Squad ISEKAI Releases New Visual

The ongoing Suicide Squad ISEKAI anime has received a second key visual. The new visual is drawn by the show’s character design drafter Akira Amano (Psycho-Pass).

Suicide Squad ISEKAI had its international premiere on June 27 and premiered in Japan on July 5 JST (effectively July 6 at 12:30 AM JST). The anime is inspired by DC Comics‘ anti-hero/supervillain team the Suicide Squad, which has also inspired two live-action movies and a looter shooter video game.

The synopsis reads:

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!
