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

Street Fighter Alpha: The Animation, released in Japan as Street Fighter Zero (ストリートファイターZERO, Sutorīto Faitā Zero), and also known as Street Fighter Zero: The Movie, is a 2000 OVA based on the fighting game Street Fighter Alpha 2 by Capcom, directed by Shigeyasu Yamauchi. An English dub version was later produced by Manga Entertainment and released in 2001 on the 10th anniversary of the video game Street Fighter II: The World Warrior. The film is not a prequel or sequel to either the film Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie (1994) or the series Street Fighter II V (1995), but an independent installment, although several voice actors from previous adaptations reprised their roles for the English version of the movie.
