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

Yu Yu Hakusho: The Movie (Japanese: 幽☆遊☆白書, Hepburn: Yū Yū Hakusho), also known as The Golden Seal, is a 1993 Japanese anime film based on the YuYu Hakusho manga series created by Yoshihiro Togashi. The 30-minute film was directed by Noriyuki Abe and produced by Studio Pierrot. It was released theatrically in Japan on July 10, 1993 at the seasonal Toei Anime Fair. The movie was dubbed into English by Anime Works and Animaze and released on VHS on June 9, 1998 and on a single DVD with Ninku: The Movie on January 30, 2001. Funimation Entertainment later released the film to DVD, along with the Eizou Hakusho OVAs, on December 13, 2011 as Yu Yu Hakusho: The Movie & Eizou Hakusho, featuring a new English dub with their original voice cast from the anime television series. A Filipino dub titled Ghost Fighter: The Next Mission released by Regal Entertainment in the Philippines. Like the television series, it features the songs "Smile Bomb" and "Sayonara Bye Bye" by Matsuko Mawatari (Sarah White and Stephanie Nadolny in Funimation's English version) for its opening and closing credits respectively.
