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
This is a Taiwanese-Japanese wuxia fantasy film using puppetry and special effects. It follows anti-heroes and fighters as they clash over a legendary sword, blending philosophy and absurd humor into its action.

What happens
《Thunderbolt Fantasy 東離劍遊紀》，簡稱《東離劍遊紀》，是由臺灣和日本雙方合作的奇幻武俠布袋戲系列電視劇，共為四季，另设三部劇場版。劇本由日本編劇虛淵玄撰寫，角色設計與服裝造型則由Nitro+負責。布袋戲的拍攝由臺灣《霹靂布袋戲》製作，再由日本聲優重新配音。劇名由霹靂國際多媒體董事長黃強華命名，本作是臺灣布袋戲首次與日本跨界合作的特攝作品。 《東離劍遊紀》的故事較貼近武俠小說和史詩奇幻的性質，而非傳統的歷史小說。劇情架構緊湊精巧、荒誕不羈、卻又文筆流暢。作品中的角色設定有趣且充滿荒謬；布袋戲人偶的細膩動作與精湛演出、獨特的聲光效果，以及人偶華麗的服裝與精緻的佈景設計，都讓觀眾為之震撼。這也使得《東離劍遊紀》在日本、中國大陸、歐美等市場上打響知名度。除了布袋戲本身外，亦衍生出各式小說、漫畫、舞台劇和電子遊戲等多元作品。 《東離劍遊紀》電視劇在日本市場表現亮眼，前三季曾登上各影音平台前10大熱播排行榜，並一舉奪下動漫分類冠軍。第4季在臺灣Line TV的點閱次數排行獲得第8名，這不僅是布袋戲電視劇首度入榜，更是超越《長樂曲》和《不愛，愛》真人電視劇。三部劇場版系列均有不錯的票房表現，以《Thunderbolt Fantasy 東離劍遊紀 最終章》的臺日票房為系列中最高。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
