Ninja Scroll: The Collector's Edition

The gore-strewn anime classic slashes its way into your home cinema

If you like your cartoons to come drenched in blood and full of action, then we have no doubt that this ultra-violent anime classic is already one of your favourites. Manga Entertainment's limited edition steelbook release includes both BD and DVD copies, with the former disc sporting a cleanly delineated AVC 1.33:1 1080p encode – although frozen grain betrays the use of noise reduction tools during the restoration. The Japanese LPCM stereo track is joined by a DTS-HD MA 5.1 English dub. Extras include a chat-track, TV spot and 26-page booklet.
