The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Yamato: The New Voyage (Japanese: 宇宙戦艦ヤマト 新たなる旅立ち, Hepburn: Uchū Senkan Yamato Aratanaru Tabidachi; lit. "Space Battleship Yamato: The New Journey"), also known as Bon Voyage Yamato, is a 1979 Japanese animated television movie that was first broadcast on Fuji TV. This was the third movie in the Space Battleship Yamato saga (however, Be Forever Yamato is the third theatrical movie) and the sequel to Space Battleship Yamato II. The Yamato crew must defeat the new Dark Nebula Empire. This film is the first in a two-part story arc that continues in Be Forever Yamato. It later got a remake in 2021 and 2022 as the two-part movie Space Battleship Yamato 2205. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
