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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Shadow Fighter (Korean: 섀도우 파이터) is a 2005 South Korean 3D animated television series produced by Yellow Film for Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC). The story revolves around the protagonist, a young boy named Cay, who meets Eagle in the forest and becomes a Shadow Fighter. The show had a budget ₩2.6 billion and took two years to produce. The series features a cel-shaded animation for smooth rendering. All episodes were completed before the series first went live on July 2005. The release date coincided with the introduction of a mandate for the three major Korean broadcasters (MBC, KBS, and SBS) to allocate time for animations. The series has 26 episodes. On August 2005, the show began to be broadcast in Japan on So-net. In 2007, the show was licensed to Uno Media to be broadcast in Malaysia. The show was displayed at 2005 Seoul International Cartoon and Animation Festival and Seoul Character Fair. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
