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

Extremely Inappropriate! (Japanese: 不適切にもほどがある!, Hepburn: Futekisetsu ni mo Hodo ga Aru!), popularly known as Futehodo, is a 2024 Japanese comedy musical drama television series about a man who time travels back-and-forth between 1986 (Showa era) and 2024 (Reiwa era), where he finds that his Shōwa-era way of being conflicts with contemporary Japanese society. The series is noted for contrasting the extremes of 1980s culture (harassment, abuse, smoking) with those of 2020s culture (smartphones, social media, political correctness, cancel culture), while satirizing elements of both. It also has a unique musical element, with each episode featuring a humorous original song sung by the characters, usually relating to the cultural theme. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
