MVM's Anime-on-line website is listing an upcoming MVM Collector's Blu-ray edition of Ninja Scroll: The Series on Blu-ray Disc on July 1, which will include art cards. (MVM has not released an image of its Blu-ray yet; the image on the right is of the US Blu-ray released by Discotek.)
The series is described on the website as follows:
In feudal Japan, the Edo period brought a time of delicate peace bought with blood. This is a chronicle of the life of Jubei Kibagami as he wanders the countryside as a ninja for hire. At this time, ninja clans are everywhere. One clan, known as the Hiruko Clan, doomed to live and die in darkness, protects a sacred treasure called the Dragon Stone. The Kimon Clan, however, bent on reviving the power of the Toyotomi, wants the Dragon Stone and the treasure it hides. Jubei Kibagami is the best man for the job of protecting both the Dragon Stone and the only one whom can use it - The Light Maiden!
The 13-episode Ninja Scroll: The Series was broadcast in 2003. A sequel to the 1993 feature film Ninja Scroll, it was directed by Tatsuo Satō (Martian Successor Nadesico), with character designs by Takahiro Yoshimatsu (Trigun). Like the previous film, the series was animated by the Madhouse studio.
