Ninja Scroll ( 獣兵衛忍風帖 , Jūbei Ninpūchō ? ) is a Japanese action thriller anime , set in feudal Japan , by critically acclaimed director / writer Yoshiaki Kawajiri who was best known for his previous thriller Wicked City ( Yōjū Toshi ). The character designs were done by Yutaka Minowa . The movie is an homage to Ninpōchō series, ninja novels by Futaro Yamada .
The movie was released on June 5 , 1993 and received a Western release on December 6 , 1996 . The movie was also released in some regions as Jubei Ninpucho: The Wind Ninja Chronicles . The Japanese title could be translated as " Jubei the Wind Ninja ", although this is subject to debate as it does not account for the last part of the title. Ninja Scroll won the Citizen's Award at the 1993 Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival . Ninja Scroll is among the most popular anime movies outside of Japan, along with such movies as Akira and Ghost in the Shell . It is well-received in its depiction of the ninja and Japanese mythological creatures such as the Stone Golem, and the Blind Assassin.
The main character, Jubei Kibagami is a homage to the famed Japanese samurai folk hero Yagyu Jubei .
Rated: Australia :MA15+, R18+ (cut and uncut), Canada : 18, UK : 18, USA : Unrated.
In 1995, the BBFC cut the UK version by approx. 52 seconds. This included a rape scene and images of imitable weaponry. The UK and Australian DVDs were affected by these cuts -- it was not censored in Australia but the Australian DVD was an exact copy of the UK disc. In 2004 the footage was reinstated and the movie in both countries was released uncut.
The film was initially given an MA15+ rating in Australia. In 1996, following an uncut screening of the film on free-to-air television, the Federal Attorney General lodged an application to review the classification of the film. As a result of this, the film's classification was upgraded to an R18+ rating, meaning television airings must be censored as R18+ material cannot be screened. Confusion often occurs due to the re-rating as well as the BBFC cut -- someone could purchase the BBFC-cut R18+ DVD thinking it contained more graphic material than an MA15+ VHS copy, only to discover it contained less.
