This early 2000s children's anime may have you draw parallels with Gainax's Nadia: Secret of Blue Water as an adventure title with its young heroine and a mysterious blue sand said to have the power to make objects fly. In the case of Secret of Cerulean Sand, the series is more focused on our heroine Jane trying to track down the whereabouts of her brother when he was believed to be killed during an expedition for said sand and a mysterious group of thugs trying to impede her in the search. There is a solid amount of world building and fleshing out of many key characters in Cerulean Sand, helping to offer solid engagement to its plot as more details are revealed about the whereabouts of Jane's brother and the secrets surrounding the cerulean sand that serves as the center of conflict within the series. Still, going into the series will require some suspension of disbelief with what is revealed about the antagonists of the series in regards to the advanced technology employed by them within the steampunk-like world offered up by Cerulean Sand and there isn't much explanation provided as to how things got so far advanced with said technology. Plus with the series mainly aimed for a younger audience, there can be some plot elements within the series that feel a bit unexplored or hokey in their execution, mainly the number of times that Jane and her allies can get away from the enemies that threaten or capture them. Still for an adventure anime, Secret of Cerulean Sand makes for solid entertainment with decent world building and exploration of its characters to make it a decent watch for folks of any age.

If you enjoy this type of story, then you might want to check out - Fushigi no Umi no Nadia and Kenran Butoh Sai: The Mars Daybreak. I remembering seeing this a couple of years ago. Tis a good story for teenagers and those who can enjoy innocent adventure stories. In the classic style of ↗Jules Verne (wiki), one can expect a grand adventure of mystery and danger as the main character (Jane Buxtom) undertakes a dangerous journey, accompanied a stalwart band of fellow travelers, to discover the fate of her missing brother.
