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

Lupin the 3rd Part II is a Japanese anime television series produced by Tokyo Movie Shinsha. Part of the Lupin III franchise, it is the second anime television adaptation of the Lupin III manga series created by Monkey Punch. Although originally broadcast as simply Lupin III (Japanese: ルパン三世, Hepburn: Rupan Sansei), the series is now often referred to as New Lupin III (新 ルパン三世, Shin Rupan Sansei) by Japanese fans. Among English-speaking fans, the series is commonly known as the "Red Jacket" series in reference to Lupin's outfit. The series contains 155 episodes, which aired between October 3, 1977, and October 6, 1980, on the Japanese television network Nippon Television. Streamline Pictures released episodes 145 and 155 in the United States to VHS in 1994 as Lupin III: Tales of the Wolf, which was re-released by Orion Home Video as Lupin III's Greatest Capers the following year. In 2003, Pioneer Entertainment licensed and released 79 episodes in North America, 26 of which were broadcast on Adult Swim. The series was picked up by Discotek Media, who released all 155 episodes to DVD between 2017 and 2020. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
