Synopsis

A Journeyman ninja by name of Jubei stumbles upon a plague, an evil clan of demons, a national crisis, and a beautiful ninja girl.

Our take

A classic of the genre and a cultural touchstone for many, Yoshiaki Kawajiri’s highly-influential, award-winning anime stylishly renews and rewrites Japanese mythology for a new generation. Set in feudal Japan, Ninja Scroll is dazzling: a lively, vivid, and visceral action-adventure film.
