I bet it's a movie adaptation. The manga is only one volume long so it's a bit short to be a TV series, but it's a pretty ideal length for a feature film. Plus the teaser is using the same cel-shaded CGI style that the Dragon Ball Super Heroes movie did.

While ANN obviously can't/won't go into speculation for obvious reasons, the copyright for the English trailer says "Sandland Film Partners", so it'll likely be a movie. That would be the most understandable direction, anyway, since the manga is only 1 volume long. Regardless, it's just nice to see a manga by Akira Toriyama be adapted & not involve Toei in seemingly any fashion, at least in terms of being lead animation studio. Makes me wish this was something you'd see more often, especially when it comes to iconic mangaka who are generally associated with a single anime studio that have catalogs that are ripe for adapting, as there's generally a stigma that no other studios can work with them, even though that's generally not true at all. *cough*spoiler[Masami Kurumada]*cough* |

And like that, every manga from Shonen Jump's early '00s North America release finally has at least one anime adaptation.

Genuinely the one thing more surprising than Sand Land getting an adaption is that Toei isn't involved. I honestly don't remember the manga well but it's a bit nostalgic to see the characters again.

Man, it's been years since I read it, but I recall liking it enough. Maybe we'll get a Jaco adaption next.

The Blue Dragon anime is based off a video game that he only did designs for, not the same. |

So it's not a video game? I saw it on Namco Bandais YouTube channel, the same one they only put game trailers on. And it does look like a cutscene from a video game.

It'll likely be a media mix project, so there'll be both an anime adaptation as well as a video game to go alongside it. |

this makes no sense, specially because this looks almost exactly like the last Dragon ball movie and Hokuto no Ken got animated by another studio but fans in Japan complete ignore that, something similar happen with saint seiya lost canvas, ignored in japan and getting axed but in south america fans wanted more but later came saint seiya Omega and people outseide japan hated like it was a very big crime to have that Precure design but many japanese got angry because they liked and couldn't understand why foreigners that literally spend Zero money on making Lost canas a success are now angry that Saint seiya Omega got so many episodes and a second season. |

I wouldn't be surprised if Sand Land looking very much like the last DB Super movie will wind up simply being a case of some shared staff between the two, similar to how the Fuma no Kojirou OVAs from the late 80s/early 90s look very much like the OG Saint Seiya anime from the 80s because they shared the same character designers & even some of the same animation staff, despite FnK being animated by JC Staff, not Toei. As for Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas, that wasn't done by Toei at all, it was TMS, so it had little to no bearing on what Toei decided to do with Saint Seiya Omega, outside of arguably Toei even creating Omega in the first place, since they no doubt didn't like how TMS took advantage of an opening in the franchise after Toei finished the Hades OVAs in 2008. That being said, I wouldn't say that another animation studio should go producing other Saint Seiya-based anime, as that would result in confusion (which could very well be a factor in why Lost Canvas' second season underperformed in Japan, which is why more never got made). Instead, similar to what's being done with Sand Land, they should aim for other works by someone like Masami Kurumada, such as re-adapting Fuma no Kojirou (since there is that gaiden manga currently coming out, & the OG manga is currently in its 40th Anniversary, so there's promotional potential there) or adapting Otoko Zaka (which is finally nearing its finale, so there's also promotional potential there, too). |
