In particular it features Benizato's name with a "z", one can assume this being Toho's preferred spelling for her.

It changes a few things versus earlier editions. This is a new subtitle track, created by Toho International. The Japanese track can be accompanied by removable English subtitles. Clarity in both dialogue and sound effects is spot on too. The result is fantastic, a great representation of the film's audio with no discrepancies to be heard. This is done in the original, 2.0 stereo. The secondary audio track is the Japanese version. The other elements of the film were not, though, and the sound effects carry a slight echo-like quality to them because of that. The voice work sounds fine, as it was recorded with a surround presentation in mind. Unfortunately, the downside of this track is the way the surround aspect is done. This track, which is the default one, offers an iffy voice cast performance, although at least it doesn't make light of what can often be a darker film. One is the 5.1 English dub track, originally created by Manga Entertainment for their DVD release. The Blu-ray offers two different audio tracks. Being a made for home video release, it was never given a widescreen treatment. Ninja Scroll is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.33:1, or "full screen". The earthy, less vibrant tones do feel a bit more at home with the darker subject matter of the movie, though. The colors, while a little better than the earlier edition, still feel muted though.

The black levels are also perfect, set slightly darker here than on the 2012 Sentai Filmworks release. Details in the frame are also very sharp, as whatever process was used to remove film grain did not compromise the sharpness of the picture. The animation looks remarkably clear for a film this age, shows a great attention to detail in removing noise. The movie has never looked better than it does on this release.

It is lacking, though, when it comes to the extras. It has great video quality coupled with a nice audio presentation, making this a great way to enjoy the film.

The gory spectical, which launched numerous copy cats of similarly hyper violet and sex infused Anime, is well presented here. One of, if not thee most famous OVAs (original video animation, or direct to video Animes), Ninja Scroll hits the Blu-ray format for the second time in the US.
