Okay, I know I don’t talk about kickstarter campaigns but when I saw the promotional video for this project I was excited because I have seen how cool some of Blast’s other short movies most notably Cat Shit One and ZVP.
Junya Okabe will replace Zatoichi and Predator featured in ZVP (Zatoichi vs Predator), a fan film which became a worldwide sensation upon its release on YouTube in December 2017, with new characters with similar traits to solve the copyright issue while preserving the world view of the original fan film. This will be achieved with the production of eight-minute pilot film of NINJA VERSE, an original feature film project, the company will run a fundraising project on Kickstarter.
A spokesperson for Blast Inc explained that in the present Japanese film industry, Junya Okabe’s challenging visual style would be seen as risky by potential investors. After careful consideration, they concluded that the best way to start is with the support of fans who are sympathetic to our aspirations. The answer is the launch of this Kickstarter crowdfunding project.

What will “NINJA VERSE” be about?
In the early Edo era, a giant extraterrestrial object crashed into the mountains. Three ninjas are ordered to conduct surveillance by the shogunate and encounter the wreckage of a gigantic UFO and strange extraterrestrial creatures. Contact with super technology from outer space leads the three ninjas into a life ruled by bizarre phenomena completely betraying common sense.
