Sands of Destruction (2008– ) User Reviews

average adaptation of World Destruction video game

[gjhong · 7/10 · 7 March 2010]

You may have seen commercials for the Nintendo DS game "Sands of Destruction". This anime is based on that game. In this story the world has oceans of sand which are traversed by sand-ships and sand-subs. In this world the ruling class are anthropomorphic beast-men and humans are a slave class. A young human girl named Morte is on the run from the World Salvation Committee because she holds an artifact called Destruct Code which is said to have the power to destroy the world. She picks up a human ally named Kyrie and a beast-man hero named Toppi. Together they travel as the World Destruction Committee. The theme of the show is "you always have choices". Each episode is titled "There Are Two Kinds of ..." and we hope that Morte will learn that lesson before she activates Destruct Code.

I've seen the entire series and it is OK but the characters one-dimensional. I am guessing the target audience is young boys.

A must watch for fans of the Nintendo DS game

A quick 13 episode anime series based on the Sega published RPG game. If you're a fan you won't be wasting your time because its quick and its a faithful companion to the video game. The story centers around Kyrie who legend foretells is to be the bringer of the end of the world. Hard to believe because Kyrie is a young, scared, little boy working as a waiter when we first see him. He is soon joined by two companions and that's when the fireworks begin.

Its main themes are the maintenance of close friendships, having courage, and accepting one's destiny. Its colorful, fun, bright and has a quirky cast of main characters each with their own different motives.

A nice little gem from 2008.
