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

Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 (Japanese: 攻殻機動隊 SAC_2045, Hepburn: Kōkaku Kidōtai Esu-Ē-Shī Nī-Zero-Yon-Go) is a Japanese original net animation (ONA) series based on the 1989–91 manga series Ghost in the Shell by Masamune Shirow, set in the Stand Alone Complex sub-continuity. The first season premiered exclusively on Netflix worldwide on April 23, 2020, with a second season being released on May 23, 2022. Both seasons received generally negative reviews, with critics considering the series inferior to previous Ghost in the Shell media due to multiple factors. Two compilation movies of the series were released in 2021 and 2023. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
