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

These two pilot films introduce the story of Joe Yabuki, a restless young delinquent who discovers boxing. One pilot focuses on his violent rivalry with boxer Rikiishi, the other on his connection to a wealthy girl named Yoko. They are early prototypes for the full series.
