Yoshiaki Kawajiri’s Ninja Scroll was recently re-released in Japan on Blu-ray and that Blu-ray contains a trailer of an unproduced sequel that never made it past the pilot stage.

2013 marks twenty years since Madhouse released the critically acclaimed anime Ninja Scroll and as a result there are new Blu-Ray editions being produced. Manga UK are releasing a limited edition version of Ninja Scroll on the 26th of November 2012.

Interesting. This is presumably not going to be used as part of the sequel now being produced?

what the hell .................... ok everything on the trailer looks interesting but the guy in yellow with those wheels looks Ridiculous i mean the first movie looks like something from the ninja era but that guy looks like his out of place in this.

Hmm, I can sort of see why this was cancelled. It looks a bit like a poor man's 2002 reheated Ninja Scroll. Probably would have been a bit disappointing had it actually got made.

What a darn shame! It actually looked pretty good imo compared to you other people.
