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

Cyborg She (僕の彼女はサイボーグ, Boku no Kanojo wa Saibōgu) is a 2008 Japanese science fiction comedy-drama film directed by Kwak Jae-yong, starring Haruka Ayase and Keisuke Koide. Although the characters are different and the stories unrelated, Cyborg She is unofficially but lovingly seen by genre fans as being the third installment in a trilogy of "strange girl" films written and directed by Kwak, the previous films being My Sassy Girl and Windstruck.
