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

Denji Sentai Megaranger (電磁戦隊メガレンジャー, Denji Sentai Megarenjā; Electromagnetic Squadron Megaranger) is Toei's twenty-first production of the Super Sentai metaseries, and the second Sentai, after Kousoku Sentai Turboranger in which all heroes are high school students. The footage was also used in the American series Power Rangers in Space. It aired from February 14, 1997, to February 15, 1998, replacing Gekisou Sentai Carranger, and was replaced by Seijuu Sentai Gingaman. Toei gave it the name Mega Rangers for international distribution. Shout! Factory released "Denji Sentai Megaranger: The Complete Series" on DVD on October 31, 2017. This is the 6th Super Sentai series to be released in North America on Region 1 DVD. In January 2018, Shout! streamed the series on their website. One of the series villain costumes and a prop were used for the 7th season of the American Power Rangers series (Power Rangers Lost Galaxy which was adapting the 1998 Sentai installment, Seijuu Sentai Gingaman).
