Ninja Scroll 30th anniversary screening announced for Anime Expo 2024
Anime Expo will celebrate the 30th anniversary of one of anime’s most influential films.
On Friday, July 5, HIDIVE and AX Cinema Nights will deliver a special screening of Ninja Scroll at Panel Room 511ABC from 10 p.m. - 11:45 p.m. Released in 1993, Ninja Scroll gained the Citizen's Award at that year’s Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival, and it was a major influence on the also iconic Matrix franchise. Ninja Scroll director (and Madhouse co-founder) Yoshiaki Kawajiri would continue working on titles such as The Animatrix, Jujutsu Kaisen, Vinland Saga Season 2, and the Marvel Anime series. The film spawned the anime series Ninja Scroll: The Series, which is available to stream over on Crunchyroll right now here.
Anime Expo 2024 will take place from July 4 through July 7 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Badges for Anime Expo are on sale to the general public right now here. More information about Anime Expo can be found here.
