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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
The Hissatsu series (必殺シリーズ, Hissatsu series) is a long-running prime-time popular television Jidaigeki series about assassins in Japan, produced by ABC Television and Shochiku. Hissatsu Shikakenin is based on Shōtarō Ikenami's novel Shikakenin Fujieda Baian, but its sequels are only inspired by it. The series still continues as an annual two-hour special drama.
