The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Lupin the 3rd: Goodbye Partner (ルパン三世 グッバイ・パートナー, Rupan Sansei Gubbai Pātonā) is a Japanese anime television special produced by TMS Entertainment, serving as the twenty-sixth television special in the Lupin the 3rd franchise, itself based on the manga series of the same name by Monkey Punch. The special was directed by Jun Kawagoe from a screenplay by Takehiko Hata and aired on Nippon Television on January 25, 2019, as part of the network's Kinyo Roadshow. This was the last Heisei-era Lupin the 3rd special, released four months before the 2019 Japanese imperial transition and was the last Lupin the 3rd special to be released during Monkey Punch's lifetime as he would pass away on April 11, three months after the special's debut.
