Akira Toriyama's "SAND LAND" animated film is about to be released and he said that he put all his efforts into it

In addition to his famous long-form comics "Dragon Ball" and "Arale", Japanese manga master Akira Toriyama's short story "SAND LAND" is particularly exciting. The "SAND LAND" animated film will be released on August 18. Recently, Akira Toriyama expressed his thoughts when recalling this work, saying that it was the "last plan" work for which he had done his best.

"SAND LAND" is a short comic work published by Akira Toriyama in 2000 after the completion of "Dragon Ball". The story tells that in the water-scarce desert world, humans and monsters coexist. The demon prince Beelzebub and the human sheriff Rao join forces and embark on a journey to find the "Fountain of Fantasy" somewhere in the desert.

The animated film "SAND LAND" will be jointly produced by Sunrise, Kamikaze Animation and ANIMA, directed by Toshihisa Yokoshima, with Hiroshi Shinano as the advisor, screenwriter Hayashi Mori, and music by Yugo Kanno; the voice actors who have been confirmed include Mutshin Tamura, Kazuhiro Yamaji, Joe, Satoshi Tsuruoka, Nobuo Tobita, etc.

Although it is not well-known overseas, "SAND LAND" is even praised as the best masterpiece of Akira Toriyama in the Japanese comics circle. At least it is recognized as the "best grandfather comic". Fans who are interested in the movie can pay attention to the cool and handsome grandfather in the work.

When recalling this work, Akira Toriyama expressed his feelings, "This is a work that I put all my efforts into as my last plan." Please look forward to the release of the film.
