Ninja Scroll Burst - The Sequel That Never Was

On the recent Japanese Bluray rerelease of Ninja Scrolls, buyers got an unexpected bonus in the form of a trailer for a supposed sequel that never made it past the pilot stage dubbed 'Ninja Scrolls Burst.' The critically acclaimed classic 1993 anime paid homage to Futaro Yamada's famous Ninpocho (Ninja) novels, with plenty of amazing duels between supernatural swordsmen, incredible violence and beautiful animation, a staple of Mad House studios. Even though this trailer didn't quite capture my imagination as much as the original, it's still cool to see what could have been. Check out the trailer for the original Ninja Scrolls after the break! And if you choose to watch it, remember: Subtitled, not dubbed.
