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

Kaitō Pride (怪盗プライド?, Kaitō Puraido, lett. "Il ladro Pride") è una serie televisiva anime trasmessa in Giappone su Fuji Television dal 31 maggio al 4 novembre 1965. I 105 brevi episodi che la compongono venivano trasmessi al ritmo di uno al giorno per cinque giorni alla settimana, così da costituire ogni settimana l'equivalente di una puntata canonica. Inizialmente trasmessa in bianco e nero, fu ricolorata in previsione della sua distribuzione internazionale, che avvenne col titolo Dr. Zen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
