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

Spy × Family (stylized as SPY×FAMILY and pronounced "spy family") is a Japanese anime television series produced by Wit Studio and CloverWorks, based on the manga series Spy × Family by Tatsuya Endo. The series broadcasts on TV Tokyo in Japan. It has been streamed by Crunchyroll outside of Asia. The series is distributed by Muse Communication in the rest of the Asia-Pacific region. It follows master spy Twilight, who must disguise himself as psychiatrist Loid Forger and build a mock family in order to investigate political leader Donovan Desmond. Unbeknownst to him, his wife, Yor, is actually an assassin known as the Thorn Princess, while his adoptive daughter, Anya, has telepathic abilities. The series has received critical acclaim for its storytelling, humor, action sequences, characters, animation, voice acting, and world-building, as well as numerous awards, including Animation of the Year at the Tokyo Anime Award Festival.
