FUNimation has acquired home entertainment, broadcast, digital, and merchandise rights to the first 13-episode season of Sands of Destruction from Sega.  The anime, produced by Production IG, is tied to the Sega RPG for Nintendo DS.  Both the game and the anime are due out in the U.S. in early 2010. 

The Sands of Destruction anime, known in Japan as World Destruction:  Sekai Bokumetsu no Rokuni, is directed by Shunsuke Tada.  It was the first collaboration between Sega and Production IG.
