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
A boy raised in the jungle uses martial arts and a strength boost to fight odd villains and giant monsters. It blends space opera themes with jungle adventure comedy.

What happens
Okawari-Boy Starzan S (オカワリボーイ スターザンS, Okawari Bōi Sutāzan Esu), or simply Starzan S, is an anime created by Tatsunoko Production from an idea by veteran studio director Hiroshi Sasagawa. The series is a "mixture of Star Wars and Tarzan". Canceled at only 34 episodes due to low ratings, the series was one of the Tatsunoko studio's more obscure works until the series was released on video in Japan on Blu-ray by TC Entertainment in 2017. "Okawari" is a Japanese expression used when the user is requesting a second helping of food or drink. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
