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

What happens

Uomo Tigre II (タイガーマスク二世?, Taigā Masuku Nisei, lett. "Tiger Mask II") è una serie televisiva anime, diretta da Takami Morishita e scritta da Haruya Yamazaki. La serie è basata sul manga L'Uomo Tigre di Ikki Kajiwara. Pur essendo derivata da un'idea originale di Kajiwara, si tratta di una creazione originale dello staff Toei Animation, con la collaborazione della New Japan Pro-Wrestling di Antonio Inoki, ed è intesa come continuazione del fumetto. È stata prodotta in 33 episodi, trasmessi per la prima volta dal network giapponese TV Asahi, a partire da aprile 1981. Anche in questa seconda serie non mancano altre comparse di wrestler e altri sportivi famosi in Giappone realmente esistenti, come Tatsumi Fujinami, André the Giant, Abdullah the Butcher, Stan Hansen, Shigeo Nagashima e Antonio Inoki.
