Hulu today dropped the new climate crisis adventure Sand Land: The Series on streaming. Based on the short story by Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball, Dr. Slump), the first seven installments of the 13-episode series are now available to stream as a Hulu Original. WonderCon attendees will also have the chance to the first two episodes screening on Saturday, March 30 at 4 p.m. in Room 207.
Synopsis: Sand Land: The Series transports viewers to a world where the water supply is all but dried up, with the small amount remaining controlled by a greedy king. Tired of suffering under the king’s rule, Sheriff Rao reaches out to Sand Land’s demons for help, with the group setting off on a journey to discover the “Legendary Spring.”
A retelling of the hit 2023 Sand Land movie, Sand Land: The Series will build upon the movie’s original universe, telling new stories and featuring new characters alongside beloved fan favorites — the Fiend Prince Beelzebub, Sheriff Rao and Thief.
The anime stars Mutsumi Tamura as the voice of the Fiend Prince Beelzebub, Kazuhiro Yamaji as the voice of Rao, Chō as the voice of Thief, Satoshi Tsuruoka as the voice of General Are and Nobuo Tobita as the voice of Supreme Commander Zeu. Sand Land: The Series is produced by stalwart anime studio Sunrise (Mobile Suit Gundam, Love Live!) and the 3D CG experts at Kamikaze Douga (POPTEPIC, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure titles) directed by Toshihisa Yokoshima and is adapted for the screen from Toriyama’s original manga by Hayashi Mori.
