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.
How it feels
The crew of the Yamato faces a new alien threat that targets Earth. They must journey across space in their iconic battleship to defend their home.

What happens
Be Forever Yamato (Japanese: ヤマトよ永遠に, Hepburn: Yamato yo Towa ni) is a 1980 Japanese science fiction anime film and the fourth film (third theatrical) based on the classic anime series Space Battleship Yamato (known as Star Blazers in the United States). The film is unique for switching from monaural VistaVision (1.85:1) to Quadraphonic CinemaScope (2.35:1) when the Yamato enters the Double Galaxy. It later got a remake in 2024 as Be Forever Yamato: Rebel 3199. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
