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

Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor (Japanese: 強殖装甲ガイバー, Hepburn: Kyōshoku Sōkō Gaibā) is a Japanese anime series based on the long-running manga series Bio Booster Armor Guyver written by Yoshiki Takaya. It adapts chapters 1-60 (volumes 1–10) of the manga. The production was done in association with ADV Films and Kadokawa Shoten. It is a remake of The Guyver: Bio-Booster Armor, a 12-part OVA that aired in Japan from 1989 until its discontinuation in 1992, having adapted volumes 1–4 and 3⁄4 of volume 5. The remake is a closer adaptation of the manga and aired from August 6, 2005, to February 18, 2006. The series aired in North America on December 20, 2010, on the FUNimation Channel.
