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

Ultraman Mebius Side Story: Ghost Reverse (ウルトラマンメビウス外伝 ゴーストリバース, Urutoraman Mebiusu Gaiden Gōsuto Ribāsu) is a Japanese direct-to-video, serving as the sequel of 2006 Ultra Series Ultraman Mebius and taking place sometime after the final episode. Aside from original video work, it also received an expansion in the Televi-kun and Televi-Magazine publications in 2009. The series was released separately, The Dark Graveyard (暗黒の墓場, Ankoku no Hakaba) on November 25 and The Emperor's Resurrection (復活の皇帝, Fukkatsu no Kōtei) on December 22, 2009. Aside from being Mebius's sequel, the time setting made it clear that it took place sometime after Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey and serves as a prologue to the 2009 film Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy, due to the involvement of Giga Battle Nizer. It also served as the final acting role for Seizō Katō and Daisuke Gōri in the Ultra Series. The film incorporated the elements of both chroma key and wire fu special effects.
