Ninja Scroll Returning to Theaters for 30th Anniversary

The 1990s were responsible for giving fans some of the biggest anime stories in the history of the medium . Anime fans had a wealth of releases including Trigun, Perfect Blue, Ghost In The Shell, Princess Mononoke, Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z , and One Piece are just a few examples of franchises that debuted in this decade. Ninja Scroll was a major example of an anime property that hit the silver screen in the '90s and to celebrate its thirtieth anniversary, Jubei's tale is set to return to theaters. Anime Expo shared the details when it came to Ninja Scroll's big comeback.

Ninja Scroll was popular enough to receive a sequel, which arrived years following the movie's release in a television series, Ninja Scroll: The Series . Despite still touted as an extremely influential anime property, there has been no word on Jubei returning in either a continuation or reboot of the franchise.
