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

Devilman (Japanese: デビルマン, Hepburn: Debiruman) is a 2004 Japanese superhero film directed by Hiroyuki Nasu, based on the manga series of the same name by Go Nagai. The film was originally scheduled for a release in May, but was postponed to October 9 due to reshoots. Devilman was panned by critics and audiences, with many considering it as one of the worst Japanese films ever made. It was also a commercial failure, grossing 520 million yen against a 1 billion yen production budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
