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

The second season of the FLCL anime series, titled FLCL Progressive, is produced by Production I.G, Toho, and Adult Swim's production arm Williams Street. Progressive was chief directed by Katsuyuki Motohiro, with screenplay by Hideto Iwai. It originally aired from June 3 to July 7, 2018 in the United States on Adult Swim's Toonami programming block. In Japan, Progressive received a theatrical screening as a compilation film, with it opening on September 28, 2018. In addition to providing several tracks for the season, the Pillows performed the ending theme song "Spiky Seeds". In this season, Haruko returns to Earth years later after a failed attempt to contain Atomsk, although she did manage to absorb him.
