Let’s hope that Sand Land will be localized soon so that we can enjoy such a funny and lively post-apocalyptic adventure.

The animation of Sand Land is being handled by several renowned studios such as Sunrise, Kamikaze Douga and Anima, although what we have seen so far already shows a great fidelity to the original style of Akira Toriyama, even though it is entirely made in CGI. Sheriff Rao, tired of having a hard time, embarks on a dangerous journey across the desert with Beelzebub, son of the King of Demons, and his deputy, Thief, in search of a mythical lost lake. In the meantime, let’s learn more about Sand Land.ĭebuting over 20 years ago, Sand Land is a short story set in a post-apocalyptic world where water and natural resources are scarce and treasures are scarce. Sand Land is a thoughtful tale on greed, environmentalism, and racism (or species-ism, I suppose). Sand Land follows an old sheriff named Rao and the demon Beelzebub as they search for water in a devastated wasteland.

Will it be coming to Western theaters soon? For the moment there is no information about it, so we will have to wait for a possible official distribution for North America and Europe. Akira Toriyama (of Dragon Ball fame) prefaces it by saying it was a chore to draw and write. This was presented by Bandai Namco Entertainment through a spectacular trailer in Japanese, as for now Sand Land only has an official release date in Japanese theaters: August 18, 2023. Sand Land takes a big step forward as an anime movie
