Publisher Shueisha announced on Saturday that Akira Toriyama's Sand Land manga is getting an anime movie. The official website revealed the studios and a teaser trailer. The anime is scheduled to open in theaters in 2023.

Animation studios Sunrise, Kamikaze Douga, and Anima are producing the movie.

Toriyama serialized the 14-chapter fantasy adventure manga in the Weekly Shounen Jump magazine from May to August 2000. Shueisha shipped the volume in November of the same year. VIZ Media licensed the manga in English and released the volume in December 2003.

Synopsis
In the far future, war has destroyed the entire Earth, leaving only a barren wasteland where the supply of water is controlled by the greedy king. In search of a long-lost lake, Sheriff Rao asked the king of the demons for help...and got the king's son, Beelzebub, and his assistant, Thief. Together the unlikely trio sets off across the desert, facing dragons, bandits, and the deadliest foe of all... the King's army itself! It's travel adventure and tank action in this new story from Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball Z! [Source: VIZ Media]

i have read the manga last year i think and i remember it being decent and with the fun writing of Toriyama so this should be at least good if not excellent
