When a sheriff teams up with a demon
In “Sand Land” we follow the adventures of Beelzebub, the demon lord. He is much stronger than humans and uses his powers to serve them. Viewers are immersed in a post-apocalyptic world where survival is a daily struggle and water has become an extremely rare resource! As a king with evil intentions monopolizes the ultimate source of drinking water, the sheriff of a small village asks our hero for help in finding the “legendary spring.” The animated series “SandLand” is an adaptation of last year’s feature film of the same name and further develops its universe.

It’s more than a tribute, it’s a success
The anime is the result of a co-production between the studios “Sunrise”, “Kamikaze Douga” and “Anima”. Despite fans’ concerns about the art direction being done entirely in CGI, initial feedback is very positive! In fact, fans emphasize the joy of seeing such a “clean” title, so expressive and going in all directions. The environment is respected, the difference between the warm colors and the shady places makes you “feel the heat of the desert,” says one viewer.
