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

Cybercop (電脳警察サイバーコップ, Dennō Keisatsu Saibākoppu; lit. "Computer Police Cybercop") is a Japanese tokusatsu television series. Created by Toho in 1988 as an attempt to emulate Toei's Super Sentai motif, the idea was dropped after the unaired pilot, although the show still slightly resembles a sentai show and uses certain tropes of the genre to an extent (such as protagonists wearing color-coordinated armor). It was broadcast on NTV from October 2, 1988, to July 5, 1989. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
