Sentai Filmworks is releasing a 4K remaster of the 1993 anime film Ninja Scroll, with theatrical screenings in the U.S. and Canada in October 2026 and a home video release planned for early 2027.
Sentai Filmworks announced a 4K remaster of the 1993 anime film Ninja Scroll, scanned from original 35mm negatives and supervised by director Yoshiaki Kawajiri. The restoration premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival in February, making it the first anime selected for the Berlinale Classics program. Sentai Filmworks will screen the remaster in U.S. and Canadian theaters on October 4, 5, and 7, 2026.
The company also plans a home video release. A limited edition Blu-ray Steelbook in 4K UHD is scheduled for early 2027. The theatrical run follows two years after the film's 30th anniversary screenings, and the remaster marks the first time Ninja Scroll has been restored in 4K. Both stories confirm the same release dates and restoration details, with no reported changes or additional projects from Sentai Filmworks during this period.
