MVM Entertainment have recently taken to social media to reveal that they will release the 2003 TV Anime Series, Ninja Scroll, on Blu-Ray in the UK later this year.
The Ninja Scroll TV Anime series, which previously received a DVD release in the UK from MVM Entertainment, features 13 episodes (in both English & Japanese audio with English subtitles) and was animated by MADHOUSE. The series is also considered a sequel to the 1993 feature-film Ninja Scroll.
About: In feudal Japan, the Edo period brought a time of delicate peace bought with blood. This is a chronicle of the life of Jubei Kibagami as he wanders the countryside as a ninja for hire. At this time, ninja clans are everywhere. One clan, known as the Hiruko Clan, doomed to live and die in darkness, protects a sacred treasure called the Dragon Stone.
The Kimon Clan, however, bent on reviving the power of the Toyotomi, wants the Dragon Stone and the treasure it hides. Jubei Kibagami is the best the man for the job of protecting both the Dragon Stone and the only one whom can use it – The Light Maiden!
Specific details about this UK release, such as disc contents and release date, have not yet been revealed, but we suspect that MVM Entertainment will use the same disc masters as those used by Discotek Media in the US. Naturally further details about this release will be revealed in due time, but it is great to see another classic series being re-released on Blu-ray in the UK.
