Join us as host, Manny, dissects the debut episode of Sand Land, the highly anticipated anime from Akira Toriyama, creator of Dragon Ball. In "Departure," we follow the journey of Sheriff Rao and his encounter with a group of demons in a world plagued by water scarcity.

With a critical lens, we explore the implications of character names like Lucifer and Beelzebub, and how they intersect with Christian beliefs. Is the anime's depiction of demons potentially harmful or merely a narrative device?
