A new teaser has dropped for the upcoming manga adaptation Sand Land, and it looks like anime’s answer toDune. The show comes from the creator of Dragon Ball, and will be arriving onDisneyPlus and Hulu very soon.

Based on the Japanese manga series written by Akira Toriyama, Sand Land is set in a desert-like world that has been left without water after years of war. Left with little choice, Sheriff Rao approaches the demons of the land to ask for their help in finding a new water supply.

As you can see in the trailer above, demon prince Beelzebub agrees, as they set out on a quest to find supplies. And if that didn’t sound enough like legendary sci-fi Dune, then the clip will likely give you those vibes with sand monsters and epic battles.

Sand Land will be available on Disney Plus and Hulu in the US and UK on March 20. Seven episodes are arriving at once before it starts following a weekly release with six more episodes landing on Wednesdays.
