In a world where men serve beasts. In a world where beasts rule as men. In a world devoid of hope. This is the world Kyrie lives in. This is the world Kyrie survives in. He is a human who poses as a beast in order to survive and live peacefully, and that is all he wants is to live peacefully. Morte, also a human, is bent on destroying the world. Not just ridding the world of beasts, but ridding the world of everything. Complete and utter destruction. She believes that the world is such a terrible place that it does not deserve to exist anymore. Morte, the sole member of the World Destruction Committee, accidentally exposes Kyrie’s beastman disguise while trying to escape from the World Salvation Committee. Kyrie has no choice but to flee with Morte rather than be killed by the beastmen, as such he is labelled as a member of the World Destruction Committee and unable to return to his peaceful life.
Shortly after, they meet Taupy, a dwarf bear (teddy bear) who happens to be a bounty hunter, who ends up joining with them because of a misunderstanding as well. Neither Kyrie nor Taupy want to activate the Destruct Code, which has the power to destroy everything, but they join with Morte in an attempt to keep themselves alive as well as to try and reason with Morte and dissuade her from destroying the world.
Through their adventures they make some friends and make some enemies. They all are exposed to people who give them reason to want to activate the Destruct Code as well as some people who give them reason to want to save the world instead. Will Taupy and Kyrie be able to change Morte’s mind, or will they finally come to agree with her and together destroy the world?
As recommended by reader Devin, Sands of Destruction is a pretty good show. It is completely clean with the most risqué part of the show an episode where Morte’s dress rips slightly (showing absolutely nothing) and both Kyrie and Taupy spend the episode trying to repair it and keep it from ripping more, as Morte is un-aware her dress is ripped. There are a handful of “soft” curse words. The show itself is a little on the slow side, but not so much as to be boring. It is really a matter of taste. It is an action-adventure story, however. If you are expecting the kind of action that Fairy Tail brings every episode you will be disappointed. If you are expecting a good wholesome show with action sequences instead of all “story”, you should enjoy this show quite a bit.
