Ninja Scroll Announces Collector’s Edition Blu-ray

To help celebrate its thirtieth anniversary, Ninja Scroll is coming to theaters later this year. Being brought to life by the likes of Studio Madhouse, Toho International, JVC, Movic, and Animate Film, the original anime movie was considered to be one of the most violent and action-packed of the medium. To also help out the movie that gave us our first look at Jubei’s story, Ninja Scroll is giving fans the chance to pick up a physical release later this year to sweeten the deal. Ninja Scroll’s Collector’s Edition Blu-Ray has released a first look at the cover and details for the physical release that is dropping this October.

In promoting the theatrical release of the film set to hit North America, AX Cinema Events shared the following statement, “The 30th-anniversary theatrical release of NINJA SCROLL is part of Iconic Events Releasing’s 2024-2025 AX Cinema Nights series and will screen in over 500 U.S. theaters on September 11, 12 & 15 and be presented in both Japanese with English subtitles and English dub.

It provides the passionate fan community with immersive and unforgettable experiences beyond the annual Anime Expo. Iconic Events Releasing will announce the remaining line-up of AX Cinema Nights later this summer.”

A plot orchestrated by Jubei’s former leader, who somehow survived decapitation by Jubei himself!
