Putting more weight behind its tagline “Your Anime Destination,” Hulu‘s branded animation block Animayhem has announced a slew of new and returning anime series coming to the streamer this summer.
The excitement kicked off with the recent premiere of Suicide Squad ISEKAI (Warner Bros. Japan / WIT Studio) on June 27, which continues with new episodes this month. New episodes drop every Thursday.
The DC-inspired show follows along as the Suicide Squad (Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Peacemaker, Clayface and King Shark) — a group of Super Villains assembled by A.R.G.U.S. head Amanda Waller, are flung into another world for their own isekai adventure. Their rampage through this new realm is cut short when they are captured and strapped up with timed neck bombs. They have no choice but to fight on the fronlines for Queen Aldora against the Imperial army: They run, they die. They lose, they die.
The series is directed by Eri Osada from a screenplay by Tappei Nagatsuki and Eiji Umehara, featuring character design by Akira Amano (draft) and Naoto Hosoda and music by Kenichiro Suehiro.
