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

Tomica Hero: Rescue Force (トミカヒーロー　レスキューフォース, Tomika Hīrō Resukyū Fōsu) is a Japanese tokusatsu television series that began airing April 5, 2008, on TV Aichi. It is the first Tomica Hero series based on Takara Tomy's Tomica toy car line. The characters use Tomica's Super Tools (スーパーツール, Sūpā Tsūru) and Super Vehicles (スーパービークル, Sūpā Bīkuru) to help save people from Super-Disasters and battle the evil causing them. It is the second tokusatsu series that Takara Tomy has been involved in following Madan Senki Ryukendo. It is directed by Masato Tsujino (辻野 正人, Tsujino Masato), and written by Shinichi Inotsume (猪爪 慎一, Inotsume Shin'ichi) and Hiroyuki Kawasaki (川崎 ヒロユキ, Kawasaki Hiroyuki), the same team behind Ryukendo. A film for Tomica Hero: Rescue Force was released in December 2008. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
