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

L'Épée de Kamui (カムイの剣, Kamui no Ken) est un roman épique japonais de Tetsu Yano publié en 1970. En 1985, Rintarō l'adapte en film d'animation avec le studio Madhouse. Le métrage est considéré comme l'un des précurseurs de Ninja Scroll de Yoshiaki Kawajiri, produit par le même studio en 1993[réf. nécessaire]. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
