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

Kousoku Sentai Turboranger (高速戦隊ターボレンジャー, Kōsoku Sentai Tāborenjā; High Speed Squadron Turboranger) is a Japanese television show and the thirteenth entry of Toei Company's Super Sentai metaseries and the first title of the Heisei period. It aired on TV Asahi on February 25, 1989, to February 23, 1990, replacing Choujyu Sentai Liveman and was replaced by Chikyu Sentai Fiveman with a total of 51 episodes (1 TV special and 50 ordinary episodes). Toei listed its international title in English as Turbo Rangers. Turboranger was also the first Super Sentai series to air on Friday instead of Saturday. During its initial run, Turboranger was the 11th Super Sentai and billed as the tenth anniversary title of the Super Sentai series (as Battle Fever J was designated as the first Super Sentai series during 1988 to 1994 after the exclusion of Himitsu Sentai Gorenger and J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai due to rights issues with Shotaro Ishinomori). However, in 1995, Gorenger and J.A.K.Q. were included into the Super Sentai series once more, thus making Turboranger the 13th in the franchise. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
