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
A fishing comedy moves from modern times to the late Edo period, following ancestors of the usual characters in the feudal domains of Edo and Shonai. The main story is set in the past, with only a brief appearance from the contemporary leads at the end.
