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.

How it feels

This anime follows characters who can transform using magical seals. They get into silly adventures and battles based on the powers these seals give them.

What happens

Gyōten Ningen Batseelor (仰天人間バトシーラー, Gyōten Ningen Batoshīrā; lit. "Astonishing Human Batseelor") is an anime series created by Itaru Ueda based on a series of illustrated seals sold with chocolate from Meiji Seika. A manga series of the same title was also serialized by Fumiaki Tatesako. The anime series ran in Japan from April 7, 2001, until March 30, 2002. At the moment, the anime is known as Captain Fatz and the Seamorphs and is currently shown in syndication in Singapore at six in the morning on MediaCorp TV. A now defunct Filipino dubbed Captain Fatz series, as it was called in the Philippines, was aired by GMA from 2004 to 2005 to be followed with Shaman King on weekdays. It was also used as the title for a failed Canadian-produced English dub pilot. The dub pilot featured Jane Luk. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
