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.

How it feels

Ultraman Neos follows a giant hero who protects Earth from giant monsters and aliens. The series is set in a separate universe from other Ultraman shows. It was released as a direct-to-video series after initial plans for a TV broadcast fell through.

What happens

Ultraman Neos (ウルトラマンネオス, Urutoraman Neosu) is a Japanese tokusatsu series, being the eleventh entry (fifteenth overall) in the Ultra Series. Produced by Tsuburaya Productions, Ultraman Neos was initially intended as a TV series but the project was shelved. Years later, Tsuburaya turned the concept into a 12-episode direct-to-video series. In spite of the appearance of similar designs and a cameo by Zoffy, the series is set in an alternate universe. Toku premiered the series in the United States with English subtitles on May 1, 2017. On Friday, September 29 the entire series was made available for viewing on Verizon's go90. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
