Bandai Visual Japan is queuing up another piece of its catalog for next year with the announcement that the Ninku series will be coming to Blu-ray. The show, which has had its short movie released here previously, ran for 55 episodes between 1995 and 1996 and comes from the manga of the same name by Kouji Kiriyama. The Blu-ray release is coming in two parts with the first set on June 26th, 2015 and the second on August 26th, 2015. Both will be priced at 30,000 yen each. Bandai Visual has also debuted a new trailer to promote the release.

The release comes with a few extras such as a new audio drama that runs about 15 minutes, a booklet and an all new cast commentary of some sort on it that’s presumably for one or more episodes as opposed to the whole series. The box set will be designed by the original character designer, Tetsuya Nishio.

Plot concept: In the war, a group of warriors called Ninku fought against the Imperial Army and almost annihilated it. But in the end, the Ninku lost and got shattered. After the war, the imperial army established themselves as the defender of the people with the help of propaganda. They also managed to get the people to think the Ninku were the villains and had started the war. Fusuke looks like a child but he is the former captain of the first Ninku division. His mother was taken during the war and after the Ninku were defeated, he goes on a journey to find her. On his journey he meets Aicho and Touji, both also former Ninku captains, and together they fight against the imperial army that tries to kill the last remaining Ninkus.

The ninku is a clan of extinct ninjas who command esoteric and powerful techniques, hence a lot of other groups are constantly trying to steal their techniques to take over the country. Their primary target is Fusuke, a weird looking kid but one of the most powerful Ninku ninja. Fusuke, together with other Ninku ninja with different specialties must fight those threat that caused the downfall of the Ninku clan.
