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
A medicine seller journeys through Edo-period Japan encountering powerful spirits born from human emotions. He must uncover each spirit's form, truth, and regret before he can draw his sword and exorcise it.

What happens
Mononoke (モノノ怪) is a Japanese anime television series produced by Toei Animation. A spin-off of 2006's horror anthology series Ayakashi: Samurai Horror Tales, Mononoke follows the character of the medicine seller as he continues to face a myriad of supernatural perils. The series takes place between the end of the Edo period and the Meiji era of Japan with a four-class system, with samurai being the highest class and merchants (such as the medicine seller himself) being in the lowest class. The anime has spawned manga adaptations, two stage plays, and an anime film trilogy, with the first film released in 2024, the second in 2025, and the final one in 2026. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
