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

Xavier: Renegade Angel is an American adult animated black comedy television series created by Vernon Chatman and John Lee for Cartoon Network's nighttime programming block Adult Swim. It was produced by PFFR Productions, producers of Wonder Showzen, with computer animation provided by Cinematico. It premiered on November 1, 2007, on the Adult Swim website and November 4, 2007, on Adult Swim. Xavier features an elaborate and nonlinear plot following the musings of an itinerant humanoid pseudo-shaman named Xavier. The show is known for its use of ideologically critical dark comedy as well as surrealist and absurdist humor presented through a psychedelic and satirically New Age lens. The program is also normally rated TV MA for intense, graphic, often bloody violence, as well as strong sexual content, use of racially/ethnically offensive language, and grotesque depictions in a comedic manner.
