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

Time Bokan 24 (タイムボカン 24, Taimubokan Nijū Yon) is a Japanese anime series co-produced by Yomiuri TV and Tatsunoko Production that is a re-imagining of the original Time Bokan series that debuted on October 1, 2016, featuring a team of time travelers in search for the "True History" that is not written in the textbooks. The series is part of a joint collaboration between Tatsunoko & Level-5. This series is also legally streamed by Crunchyroll in certain worldwide areas. A second season titled Time Bokan: The Villains' Strike Back (タイムボカン 逆襲の三悪人, Taimubokan: Gyakushū no San-Akunin) started airing in October 2017. In late 2019, an English dub began airing on the Filipino and Southeast Asian Cartoon Network channels. The dub made edits such as making Calen's skirt more opaque and modest. The same edits are also applied to the Korean dub. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
