Title Information
Generic information about a title.
Feudal Japan: a time of danger, intrigue, and deception. After an entire village is decimated, a master swordsman named Jubei undertakes a desperate quest to find The Shogun of the Dark and must face The 8 Devils of Kimon - the Shogun's fearsome force of demonic henchmen, each possessing awesome superhuman powers. &quot;Jubei Ninpocho&quot; which translates to, &quot;Jubei Ninja Wind Chronicle,&quot; a.k.a. &quot;Ninja Scroll&quot; was released in Japanese theatres in 1993. Created by award-winning action director, Yoshiaki Kawajiri, and masterfully rendered by Japan's acclaimed Madhouse animation studio (Perfect Blue, X, Spawn, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Animatrix, Metropolis, Millennium Actress), the film blends the mysticism of 17th century Japan into an intensely packed tale of action, fantasy, and adventure. Since its June 1995 video release in the U.S., the film has achieved cult status, and continues to be one of the most popular anime titles in America.

Feudal Japan: a time of danger, intrigue, and deception. After an entire village is decimated, a master swordsman named Jubei undertakes a desperate quest to find The Shogun of the Dark and must face The 8 Devils of Kimon - the Shogun's fearsome force of demonic henchmen, each possessing awesome superhuman powers. &quot;Jubei Ninpocho&quot; which translates to, &quot;Jubei Ninja Wind Chronicle,&quot; a.k.a. &quot;Ninja Scroll&quot; was released in Japanese theatres in 1993. Created by award-winning action director, Yoshiaki Kawajiri, and masterfully rendered by Japan's acclaimed Madhouse animation studio (Perfect Blue, X, Spawn, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Animatrix, Metropolis, Millennium Actress), the film blends the mysticism of 17th century Japan into an intensely packed tale of action, fantasy, and adventure. Since its June 1995 video release in the U.S., the film has achieved cult status, and continues to be one of the most popular anime titles in America.
