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

Cowboy Bebop is an American space Western television series. It is a live action series based on the 1998 Japanese anime television series Cowboy Bebop and the 2001 anime film Cowboy Bebop: The Movie. Set in the year 2071, it charts the adventures of a ragtag group of bounty hunters chasing down criminals across the Solar System on the Bebop spaceship. The series was developed by Christopher Yost, with André Nemec as showrunner, and stars John Cho, Mustafa Shakir, Daniella Pineda, Elena Satine and Alex Hassell. The ten-episode series was released on Netflix on November 19, 2021, and was criticized for its writing, special effects, editing and action sequences, but was praised for its cast. Shinichirō Watanabe, the original series' director, publicly criticized the show for being disloyal to the source material. Less than a month later on December 9, 2021, Netflix canceled the series after one season, leaving the series on a cliffhanger. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
