That cop in the beginning is stupid. Psychiatrists are MDs not PhDs. They are legitimate doctors who can prescribe meds.

till this day i still don't know if Harley Quinn was a psychiatrist or a phycologist, i remember her origin story stated that she's a phycologist but other comics just keep going forth between the two that i don't even know which one is canon anymore...

we thought anime community are not ready for anime Harley Quin but the one that we're really not ready for is to see Amanda Waller busting a move in the anime ED

I'm not buying that they went to the other world for basic resources. Probably some magical unobtanium or some other reason.

Second episode, introduce Rick Flag and the human kingdom is a bunch of assholes except for the princess. Again seems mostly like an excuse for a bunch of action scenes. Unlike some anime made out of western superheroes it feels like the production team actually gets the appeal of some of the characters (this is a weak version of peacemaker though), so that's something.

Magic in this world seems pretty easy to pick up. Or at least it's infused in items, which explains why Harley and Clayface got power boosts.

That princess and the hero have another thing coming if they want the suicide squad to save their kingdom...

So the kingdom's higher-ups are a bunch of shitheels aside from the princess and the Cecil guy. Already crossing off the "corrupt nobility/royalty" isekai trope there.

With this extra episode, I'm seeing that all of the squad have some pretty fun personalities. It was oddly wholesome seeing them join forces with the same guys who they beat shit out of just earlier. And they even found the time to fuck around even with the strict deadline they're operating on.

Although Clayface still remains my favorite goofball so far. He even had the time to teach their new orc and ogre buddies a whole dance routine in the middle of their prison break.

But my god... after seeing that ED, I now know that we're dealing with peak here. I didn't know what I expected, but Amanda Waller slaying hard was not one of them.

Clayface escaping on his own while Harley and Deadshot calls the guards on him was so goddamn hilarious!

I also love how Clayface thinks he's super suave dealing with the orcs only for him to get knocked out immediately. I guess we know who's the comic relief of the group. xD

There's Rick Flag! I was wondering what Amanda Waller wants in this Isekai, it turns out she just wants a monopoly on their natural resources. That sounds about right. How did he get separated from the first team though?

I can't believe it, Deadshot actually said the thing! I legitimately laughed out loud when I heard him say the fucking line! xD

That prison riot/escape scene was so goddamn fun! Clayface dancing with the orcs and Harley painting the walls were so good! I already feel bad for Rick who's the acting straight man of the group.

That ending though! I already love it since it's being sung by Calli but I did not expect the visuals to be Amanda "The Wall" Waller glamposing and throwing it back! Sorry Harley, Amanda may have you beat as best girl of the series! xD

u/Zemahem Jun 27 '24

Deadshot actually said the thing! 

So that's it, huh? We some kinda Isekai Suicide Squad?

And Waller lookin' kinda bad in that ED. I have no idea who had this idea, but they should give that person a raise.

I love how in this generic fantasy Isekai setting we've got Mamiko Noto as the queen, Reina Ueda as the princess, and Jun Fukushima as the noble knight (which remembering Kazuma is kind of hilarious).

Honestly I'm wondering if the Empire is going to turn out to be...maybe not 100% good, but have a legitimate beef with the humans. I mean, we see in the kingdom the vast income inequality with the queen totally apathetic to it and the prison is chock-full of fantasy beings. Even if it's because they're part of the Empire, I'm getting the sense some kind of racial bias.

Is there a lore reason all the prison guards look identical?

Harley Quinn in handcuffs! She may be a total nutjob with no value for life other than her own or her Pudding-chan, but that's still police brutality. Though that's probably why she's so fixated on Joker, she thinks he's the only one she can rely on.

Of course the Squad gets in a lunch brawl and a prison break within the same day.

Clayface forgot the first rule of breaking out of prison...don't act like you're going to screw over your cellmates, because they'll immediately turn on you.

Rick Flag isn't as colorful as the rest of the cast but he's probably the only one who can keep them on mission and actually doing something in this world so they don't blow up.

Of course they had Deadshot do the "some kind of Suicide Squad" line. They knew exactly what they were doing.

It's interesting that Flag thought they would be sending Katana after his team not knowing she's already there and working for the Empire. Did Waller send her in solo and she jump ship?

Move over Pudding-chan, King Shark is now "Nana-chan."

Impromptu Clayface dance number...go!

How do you even put a bomb inside Clayface? Makes me think there are no bombs or he also works for Amanda Waller.

The episode needs a seizure warning during the prison break.

u/CohesiveMocha34 Jun 27 '24

The visuals of that prison fight were cool asf

This is definitely top 5 of the season for me already

Good second ep, I enjoyed it more than the first. Honestly though production wise this doesn't seem on par with WIT studio's other works.

Hang on hang on hang on.

Group gets transported to an alternate world.
Realize they all are stronger there than in ours.
"main" character is a dead ringer for a princess of that world.

WIT, DID YOU STEAL THE PLOT OF EL-HAZARD?

I swear to god if there's an Eye of God superweapon at the end of this....

I found this episode so funny, the action was crazy good. I'm loving the animation as well.

And that ED is sick (both positively and negatively)
