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

『オトナの男』(おとなのおとこ)は、1997年7月6日から9月28日にかけてTBS系列の「東芝日曜劇場」で放送されていたテレビドラマ。役所広司主演。 大手広告代理店・営業部に勤める水町大二郎(役所広司)は、会社の前で突然、かつての同僚、小田深雪(松本明子)に声を掛けられ、愕然とする。2人は7年前に付き合っていたのだが、大二郎が一方的にフラれ、その後深雪は他の男と結婚したと聞いていたからだ。 深雪は離婚して、バツイチのキャリアウーマンとして、大二郎の営業部に戻ってきたのだった。 このドラマがきっかけで、ブロッコリーの天ぷらがポピュラーとなった。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
