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

『いつか、ヒーロー』は、2025年4月6日から6月1日まで朝日放送テレビ制作・テレビ朝日系「日10ドラマ」枠で放送されたテレビドラマ。主演は桐谷健太。 「日10ドラマ」枠にて放送された他作品と同様に、本作品もまた原作の存在しないオリジナルの作品であり、連続ドラマを手がけるのは5年ぶりとなる林宏司の脚本のもと、情けない中年男と若者たちによる痛快な復讐劇を中心に、その裏に隠された謎や主人公の裏の顔、それに彼が音信不通になった理由など、様々な要素が複雑に絡んだ「先読み不能なエンターテイメント作品」が本作品では志向されている。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
