Newly Released

Shogun Assassin Blu-Ray
Shogun Assassin Blu-Ray
AnimEigo's first Blu-Ray release is a tender tale of a mighty swordsman trying to balance his career as an assassin with the problems of being a single dad while being stalked by legions of extremely hypertensive ninjas. In other words, if they actually let the plot get in the way of the gratuitous bloodletting, it'd be one serious chick-flick!

  • Remastered in brilliant 1080p
  • Exclusive interview with Samuel L. Jackson
  • Audio commentary by Film Scholar Ric Meyers and Martial Arts Expert Steve Watson.
  • New commentary by Producer David Weisman, Illustrator Jim Evans, and Gibran Evans, who provided the epic voice narration of Daigoro!
