JUBEI TAKES REVENGE AGAIN IN NINJA RESURRECTION: CLASSICS COLLECTION EDITION!

CONTROVERSIAL 18-RATED GORY SWORDFEST RETURNS ON 19/02/07

LONDON, UK, 24th November 2006

ADV Films returns to the shelves once more Ninja Resurrection in a Classics Collection edition.  Featuring some of the goriest fights ever drawn in anime, this 18-rated shocker hits stores again on 19th February 2007.
 

From a stellar creative team that includes director Yasunori Urata (SIN: The Movie, Hellsing, and Full Metal Panic!), composer Masamichi Amano (Battle Royale and Battle Royale II, SIN The Movie, Urotsukidoji: Legend Of The Overfiend), and drawn from an original novel by the creator of current hit Basilisk, this is one of the few historical adventures to address real-life issues of religion, albeit in an action context, an anime that lies somewhere between Shogun Assassin and The Last Samurai.

The Story:

Get ready for a nightmarish journey through faith and betrayal as the infamous Jubei Yagu wields his deadly blades against the forces of good and evil alike.  Tortured by visions of Amakusa’s final hour, legendary swordsman Jubei Yagu returns to his ancestral home seeking respite form the bloody duties of a feudal retainer.  Soon, chilling rumours reach him of four dead heroes renewing their claim to life, feeding on the fear and violence of the age.  Forced to take up the sword once more, Jubei returns to a path of vengeance and damnation in Ninja Resurrection: Classics Collection!

Ninja Resurrection: Classics Collection (RRP £14.99) is a DVD-only release of both episodes, presented in both English and Japanese 2.0 audio with English subtitles. Extras include a slideshow and ADV Previews.
