Ninja Scroll

Part of Anime Expo Cinema Nights, presented by Anime Expo and Iconic Events

Each screening will include an all-new exclusive interview with director Yoshiaki Kawajiri!

Swords shatter, blood sprays, and demons suck the life out of vicious warriors as the wildest samurai anime adventure ever made is unleashed to tear your senses asunder! Wandering swordsman Jubei Kibagami has always been a master dealer of death, but when he rescues a vengeful female ninja from a sadistic monster, he sets in motion a chain of events that sends death pulsing through his veins and puts the two on a nightmarish path through a surreal and devil-infested ancient Japan. How do demonic possessions, an annihilated village, and a man Jubei thought he killed all connect? If Jubei can’t piece the blood-soaked clues together, his only consolation will be that he won’t live long enough to regret it! Prepare your mind and steel your gut for the insanely gore-packed orgy of violence that is Ninja Scroll!  (Dir. by Yoshiaki Kawajiri, 1993, Japan, in Japanese with subtitles and dubbed in English, 104 mins., Rated R)
