This episode we’re diving into the Back Catalogue to share a fantastic series we should have talked about more when it aired – Sand Land!Based on the early 2000’s manga by legendary mangaka Akira Toriyama, this series and its game were the last projects he worked on before passing away in 2024. And with Dragon Ball Super returning this year, it felt like the right time to revisit the series!This, plus gushing over the second season of the Live Action One Piece, the latest anime news and an odd retro series set in the distant future – 2026!SUPPORT USPatreon: Patreon.com/KawaiiFiBuy us a Coffee: Ko-fi.com/kawaiifi NEWS ITEMSCrunchyroll Lays Off Employees Amidst RestructuringVNDB founder Yorhel passes awaySekiro: No Defeat anime announces theatrical runTank Chair manga gets anime adaptationLive-Action One Piece Season 2 Ranks #1 on Netflix Globally[Missed] Tomorrow Studios to Develop Live-Action Samurai Champloo AdaptationVIDEOS!Kawaii-Fi YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/KawaiiFiKyle’s YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KyleinOrbitTifa's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/thetkennedy JOIN THE KAWAII-FI COMMUNITYFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/KawaiiFiAnime/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kawaiifianime/Threads: https://www.threads.net/@kawaiifianime TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kawaiifianimeDiscord: https://discord.gg/p9ccFx8vTQ LISTEN ELSEWHERE?Spotify: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiSpotifyApple: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiAppleYT Music: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-Fi-YMCastbox: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiCastboxGoodpod: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-fiGoodpodAmazon Music: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiAmazonPocket Casts: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiPocket EPISODE SEGMENTS00:00:00 – Launch the Eva!00:03:01 – WWW: Orgus, JJK & One Piece00:35:31 – Back Cata: Sand Land – The Series00:58:27 – Anime Communique01:15:54 – Next Time, Pyon Pyon Sugoi and Pyon Sugoi!Tags:Anime,Manga,Anime Podcast,podcast,Anime Recommendations,anime reviews,New anime,top 10 anime,Best anime,anime news,Sand land,Akira Toriyama,Dragonball,Shoenen,Orgus,Jujutsu Kaisen,One Piece,One Piece Live Action,Crunchyroll,VNDB,Yorhel,Sekiro No Defeat,Sekiro Anime,Sekiro Shadows Die Twice
