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

My Hero Academia: You're Next (Japanese: 僕のヒーローアカデミア THE MOVIE ユア ネクスト, Hepburn: Boku no Hīrō Akademia za Mūbī Yuā Nekusuto) is a 2024 Japanese animated superhero film based on an original story featuring the characters of My Hero Academia manga series by Kōhei Horikoshi. Produced by Bones and distributed by Toho, the film is directed by Tensai Okamura from a script written by Yōsuke Kuroda and features an ensemble cast that includes Daiki Yamashita, Nobuhiko Okamoto, Yuki Kaji, Ayane Sakura, and Kaito Ishikawa. Taking place after the U.A. Traitor arc of the manga and during the seventh season of the show, the film follows Izuku Midoriya as he faces off against Dark Might, an evil imitator of Izuku's long-admired hero All Might. A fourth film of the franchise was announced in August 2023, with Okamura replacing Kenji Nagasaki as a director, while the rest of the staff returned from the first three films. Its full title was revealed in January 2024 along with the announcement of the release date. My Hero Academia: You're Next premiered in theaters in Japan on August 2, 2024 and was released in the United States on October 11, 2024. The film grossed over $32 million worldwide and received positive reviews from critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
