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

『大奥〜誕生[有功・家光篇]』(おおおく たんじょう[ありこと・いえみつへん])は、2012年10月12日より12月14日までTBS系列の金曜ドラマ枠(毎週金曜22時 - 22時54分〈JST〉)で放送された日本の連続テレビ時代劇。 よしながふみによる漫画、『大奥』の実写映像化シリーズの第2作で、第1作の映画『大奥』(2010年)の続編かつ前日譚にあたる内容である。さらに放送終了後の2012年12月22日より、本作の次世代を描く続編映画『大奥〜永遠〜[右衛門佐・綱吉篇]』が公開された。 他の大奥をテーマとした諸作品(フジテレビ版ドラマなど)と違い、歴史上実在した人物は一部性別が逆転して登場する歴史改変SFである。このため、前作映画と同様、キャッチコピーなどで「男女逆転」が強調されている。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
