Was this episode extremely silly and excessive? Sure. Was it extremely predictable and will you see the twists coming a mile away? Sure. Am I a little bit disillusioned that nobody died in a present that The Suicide Squad? Yeah. Did that cease this finale from being extremely enjoyable with flashy animation, a shitload of callbacks, and the dumbest chuckle I’ve had in a very long time? Completely not! Should you had instructed me final month that the finale of this anime would include all the staff present process magical lady transformations, I’d have instructed you it was the dumbest factor I’d ever heard, however I didn’t essentially suppose it might be exterior the realm of the present to do one thing like that. ISEKAI Suicide Squad is an anime about stupidity. It is about getting as a lot enjoyable out of this premise as doable, so we’ll have large, flashy motion scenes and we’ll let our forged win on the finish! The query is, what comes subsequent?

Peace has been restored and the princess has develop into the brand new queen. Now that the undead queen has been handled, the whole lot ought to be again to regular. We don’t even have time to mourn the deaths of all of the individuals within the ensuing violence, as a result of who cares? Harley actually doesn’t, so why ought to I? That’s simply the angle of the present. Should you thought they have been going to make any deeper factors, I don’t know the way you made it to the top of this collection with out tearing your hair out a number of instances. It wasn’t concerning the paycheck, it wasn’t even about constructing good relations with the dominion. The Squad simply needed to do their job, look cool, shave just a few years off their sentence, and have a pleasant meal. In some ways, I respect that.

The query of “What comes subsequent?” has a double that means, although, as this collection ends on a cliffhanger. I had a sense that Joker would play a task on this collection, as he’s probably the most marketable characters in all the DC pantheon and his whereabouts have by no means technically been resolved. His presence on this isekai world raises loads of questions, like when he obtained right here and the way he managed to do it with out anybody realizing when the one portal to this world is virtually in Waller’s lap. However the logistics of it don’t matter. What does matter is that he’s right here, and he’s doing what the Joker is greatest identified for: creating chaos. I like his speech when he refers back to the undead queen and the way he’s solely serving to her generate dying and destruction. However her need to rule over the whole lot is what made it boring, therefore why he wasn’t against betraying her in the long run.

I am actually curious as to why he hasn’t revealed himself to Harley and what his finish objective for her is. Harley’s characterization on this present is a little bit of a throwback to her earlier beginnings, the place she hasn’t damaged away from the Joker but. She nonetheless idolizes him and expects to see him quickly. Possibly that is develop into predictable and boring for the Joker? I do not know the way seemingly a sequel to the collection is, regardless of its reputation. I nonetheless suppose there’s loads of potential for a sequel, however contemplating how a lot of their payload they’ve squandered this season with the sheer abandon of anime and popular culture, I’m wondering how a lot they’ve left within the tank for a sequel.
