Episodes 1 to 3 of Akira Toriyama's original works ``SAND LAND: THE SERIES'' and ``The Fable'' are available for free on the Disney Plus YouTube channel.
It has been released in full from the opening to the ending, and can be viewed until 23:59 on May 12, 2024.
Since it is based on the original work by Akira Toriyama, there are characters that are reminiscent of Dragon Ball. In particular, the demon king "Satan" looks exactly like Dabura from Dragon Ball.
Your instincts like "I've seen this character somewhere before...?" are probably correct. I'm sure I'm not the only one who felt that the characters' roles and appearances were similar to those in Dragon Ball.
Also, the voice actors have a pretty impressive lineup. I love foreign movies, but I couldn't help but watch this movie because the voice actor for the human sheriff, Rao, was the same as Jason Statham. Up to three episodes are available on YouTube, but I finished watching them in no time. The story is so immersive that you can immerse yourself in it.
There are also attractive vehicles and battles unique to Akira Toriyama, and the worldview is appealing to a wide range of generations. Even adults can enjoy watching the friction and misunderstandings between humans and demons, who have been in conflict for many years, and the deception between humans.
If you haven't watched it yet, I recommend watching all three episodes at once during Golden Week. "SAND LAND" is distributed exclusively on Disney Plus, so you will need to become a Disney Plus member to continue watching.
You can choose between a standard plan (990 yen per month) that allows you to watch in full HD and a premium plan (1,320 yen per month) that allows you to watch 4K.
