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.
How it feels
In the future, apes have taken over the Earth and humans are the underclass. The series follows a group of people struggling to survive in a world ruled by intelligent apes.

What happens
Saru no Gundan (SFドラマ 猿の軍団; Army of the Apes) is a 1974 Japanese science fiction television series, that ran on the Tokyo Broadcasting System, from 6 October 1974 to 30 March 1975. Consisting of twenty-six half-hour episodes, the series capitalised on the success of Pierre Boulle's 1963 novel La Planète des singes, which was known in English as Planet of the Apes, and the film and television franchise. Beyond the basic plotline of a futuristic Earth ruled by apes, Saru no Gundan takes nothing from the Planet of the Apes franchise. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
