- As part of its yearly partnership with Los Angeles biggest Anime Convention, The Novo opened its doors to host a panel featuring two highly anticipated anime adaptations of beloved Western heroes and villains.
- WIT Studio kicked off the event with their stunning reimagining of Batman in the animated series Batman Ninja. Set in Feudal Japan, this show stars Batman and other iconic heroes battling against the Yakuza, all in a rich Japanese culture-inspired art style that matches the era.
- Despite the fans being presented with a fun twist of their favorite DC heroes, the real buzz was around WIT Studio’s Suicide Squad Isekai. Fans were thrilled to see their favorite DC villains transported to another world, transforming them into unexpected heroes in this exciting Isekai anime version.
- During the panel, Suicide Squad Isekai’s first episode was played and the fans loved seeing Harley Quinn take the spotlight. After what can only be described as a “classic Jarley moment”, Harley Quinn gets caught and is forced to take on a strange mission given by Amanda Waller. In exchange for a reduced sentence and their lives spared, Harley, Clayface, Deadshot, Peacemaker, and King Shark get sent to a mysterious, otherworldly realm.
- Suicide Squad Isekai is packed with badass action, comedy, and fun chaotic energy only Harley Quinn can deliver. The ending song, “Go-Getters” by Mori Calliope, perfectly captures this vibe. Sung by the popular Hololive Vtuber, the song is a dynamic mix of Japanese and English, along with a catchy dancey beat that will make you want to dance along.
- Mori Calliope delighted fans with a short Q&A session, sharing her thoughts on Suicide Squad Isekai and her experience recording “Go-Getters.” The highlight of the event was a virtual performance of the song, featuring a fully-rendered Mori Calliope dancing on stage, accompanied by a dazzling light show and vibrant visuals from the anime; a truly captivating performance!
- If you missed the panel during AX, don’t worry! A recording of it will be up online around the end of July 2024, published through official channels. So stay tuned to Mori Calliope, Wit Studio, and Warner Bros Japan’s official social media!
