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

What happens

Yamato Takeru (Japanese: ヤマトタケル) is a 1994 Japanese anime television series loosely related to the Japanese mythology, specifically Shinto and the legendary prince of the same name, and the 1963 anime film The Little Prince and the Eight-Headed Dragon. Despite the title, it doesn't set in feudal Japan and the characters are named after Japanese legendary figures instead. The series revolves around a young Ismo human named Takeru who goes on a great adventure that would grant him great powers and the understanding that his destiny is linked to the world. The series is followed up by the 1995 two-episode original video animation Yamato Takeru: After War. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
