Quick answer
A 4K restoration of Ninja Scroll (*Juubee Ninpuuchou*) screens in U.S. and Canada theaters on October 4, 5 and 7, 2026, via Sentai Filmworks. Yoshiaki Kawajiri's 1993 film is one of the defining action anime features; this is a limited theatrical run, not a streaming release.
Why the restoration is worth the trip
Ninja Scroll is a craft landmark, hand-drawn action that still sets a bar decades later, and a 4K restoration on a big screen is the format it was built for. A three-day run is the distributor's classic prestige-revival play.
Where to watch
U.S. and Canada theaters, October 4, 5 and 7, via Sentai Filmworks. No streaming date for the restoration has been announced.
