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

Satomi Hakkenden è una miniserie TV o tanpatsu (un tipo speciale di dorama in due puntate) ispirato al romanzo storico Nansō satomi hakkenden del XIX secolo e ambientato nel periodo Sengoku. Conosciuto come il più ampio romanzo basato sui Samurai della letteratura giapponese, la storia racconta la tragica storia d'amore e morte d'una bella principessa e le avventure eroiche al limite dell'auto-immolazione dei suoi otto fedelissimi samurai.
