The 13-episode CGI anime series Sand Land, adapted from the late Akira Toriyama's 2000 manga, is now streaming on Hulu with English dub and subtitle options. The series follows Sheriff Rao, who teams up with Beelzebub, the prince of demons, and his associate Thief to find a legendary hidden oasis in a post-apocalyptic desert world controlled by a tyrannical king.
Produced by Kamikaze Douga and Sunrise, the series expands on Toriyama's original story, adding new characters and plotlines. Viewers can expect a straightforward action-adventure narrative filled with tank battles and encounters with desert dwellers, characteristic of Toriyama's signature style. The CGI animation, while sometimes divisive, aims to capture the gritty aesthetic of the barren wasteland.
With a MAL score of 7.49, Sand Land: The Series offers a complete, self-contained story perfect for fans of Toriyama's work or those seeking a short, action-packed binge. The availability on Hulu makes it easily accessible for English-speaking audiences.
