The iconic '90s anime film Ninja Scroll is marking its 30th anniversary with a special collector's edition Blu-ray, and the anticipation is reaching its peak. The Limited Edition Steelbook of Ninja Scroll is set to release on October 22, and Amazon is currently offering a significant discount. You can secure your preorder of Ninja Scroll's new Blu-ray release for just $34 on Amazon. This deal effectively saves you over 50%, though the original $70 list price, revealed in August, has been questioned. Regardless, now you can enjoy this fantastic anime on Blu-ray at a much more accessible price.
For those new to the film, Ninja Scroll is a thrilling, action-packed narrative set in Feudal Japan during the Edo Period. The story follows Jubei Kibagami, a wandering swordsman, as he becomes entangled in a supernatural conspiracy aimed at overthrowing the Tokugawa Shogunate. Although it first premiered in Japan in 1993, Ninja Scroll did not receive an official North American release until 2012. Nonetheless, it has solidified its place as one of the most beloved anime releases of the 90s, alongside titles like Akira, Ghost in the Shell, and the original Berserk TV series, all of which cater to mature audiences.
Speaking of Berserk, the original 1997 series is available on Blu-ray for $43 (originally $60). This collection debuted earlier this year and was succeeded by Berserk: The Golden Age Arc Memorial Edition in August. Meanwhile, Akira can be purchased on 4K Blu-ray for $18, and Ghost in the Shell is priced at $20.
