HIDIVE has released tickets for the upcoming Ninja Scroll anime film 4K re-release. It will be available to watch in theaters on October 4, 5, and 7.
The digital 4K restoration of the Ninja Scroll anime film is spearheaded, remastered and produced by Sentai with supervision by Kawajiri himself. According to Sentai, the process involved a 4K scan (3840 × 2160 pixels) of the original 35mm negative, then repairing any damage and lastly performing color correction to create an archival quality digital master of the film. The film will release in both English dubbed and subbed versions. The synopsis for the film is as follows:
When Jubei saves a young ninja woman from the unthinkable, he assumes that’s the end of it. To his surprise, it’s only just the beginning. Together, the two investigate the mysterious deaths of an entire village which uncovers a conspiracy of demonic proportions! Getting closer to the truth, the demonic forces will stop at nothing to silence Jubei and his companion for good!
