The Secret of Cerulean Sand, or Patapata Hikōsen no Bōken (パタパタ{飛|ひ}{行船|こうせん}の{冒険|ぼうけん}, lit. “Flapping Airship Adventure”) is a 2002 Japanese-Korean two-cour steampunk sci-fi adventure anime series loosely adapting Jules and Michel Vernes’ novels The Barsac Mission (1919) and Facing the Flag (1896). It was Telecom Animation Film’s first anime since Cybersix (1999) which Cuban showed previously; you may also know Telecom Animation Film for Moyashimon, Orange, Blue Box, Don’t Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro, some Rick & Morty anime, and a lot of the newer Lupin III anime, although TAF’s involvement with Lupin III goes way back. Tangentially, Yuuichirou Yano, director of Cerulean Sand, also directed Lupin III parts IV and V.
Plot description from Anilist:
Jane’s mother dies when she is born, and her father, a rich English aristocrat, soon remarries to a woman with a son, William, who despises his new father and brother. George and Jane grow up with a dream to make a flying machine. George believes the distant Asian sands hold a secret: a mysterious cerulean sand which can make machines fly. He goes on an expedition to find it, and soon is reported executed for treason. William disappears too. After she recieves an unsigned letter holding a handful of pale-blue sand which floats in the air, Jane is sure her brother is alive and leaves to the East to find him and prove him innocent. There are many mysteries to unravel in store for Jane and her new friends on her journey. But perhaps a mystery should forever remain a mystery…
