What do you guys think? I for one am excited to see harley kill some dragons and orcs.
Most western comic book properties that get some kind of anime adaptation are typically pretty bad. Anyone remember Marvel Anime?
Yeah, I didn’t think so.
If you want a more specific argument for why this will probably suck, let’s take a look at who’s directing this. The director for the series is Eri Osada, who has typically worked as animation director on a bunch of series. But animation director and series director are very different things. Their series directing experience solely encompasses two episodes of two separate anime: JoJo’s Bizarre Experience: Diamond is Unbreakable and Jujutsu Kaisen. This doesn’t guarantee that the project will be a stinker, but projects with a high degree of confidence behind their success don’t typically go to novice directors.
One thing I will say is that I like the writers attached to the series, as they’re the creative duo behind Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song. Still, this seems like a project meant to put money into pockets and not any kind of genuine creative endeavor, as if someone drew the name of a DC comics property followed by a genre of anime out of a hat.
