The anime film adaptation of Akira Toriyama’s SAND LAND manga previously made its way to Disney+ around the world in episodic form last spring, and now it’s preparing for a television broadcast in Japan. The series will air on NHK General starting on June 28, and a new visual made its way online to prepare everyone.
The SAND LAND movie features direction by Toshihisa Yokoshima and Hiroshi Kojina, with production at Sunrise, Kamikaze Douga and ANIMA.
Here’s how VIZ Media describes the original manga:
SAND LAND Plot
In the far future, war has destroyed the entire Earth, leaving only a barren wasteland where the supply of water is controlled by the greedy king. In search of a long-lost lake, Sheriff Rao asked the king of the demons for help…and got the king’s son, Beelzebub, and his assistant, Thief. Together the unlikely trio sets off across the desert, facing dragons, bandits and the deadliest foe of all… the King’s army itself! It’s travel adventure and tank action in this new story from Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball Z!
