AX: ‘Ninja Scroll’ Returns to Theaters in September for 30th Anniversary

Talk about a legend! In the age of being able to stream anime almost anywhere, I remember watching this on VHS.

This September, AMC Networks’ HIDIVE and Iconic Events Releasing have partnered to present a three-day, 30th anniversary theatrical release of NINJA SCROLL, the critically acclaimed, samurai period drama film written and directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri–originally released in 1993. Originally announced at Anime Expo 2024, the film’s theatrical release has been expanded to now include both the United States and Canada — with more than 600 theaters locations during its September 11, 12, & 15 run.

As an exclusive experience available only in theaters, moviegoers will be treated to a special pre-show featuring a new, never-before-seen interview with Director Yoshiaki Kawajiri produced especially for this 30th anniversary release!

NINJA SCROLL is part of Iconic Events Releasing’s 2024-2025 season of AX Cinema Nights, a year-round movie event series that celebrates the best new and classic anime films presented in theaters across the United States and Canada. It offers the passionate fan community with immersive and unforgettable experiences beyond the annual Anime Expo.


Film Synopsis
