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 series follows the legendary warrior monk Benkei from his supernatural birth through his violent youth and quest to defeat 1000 samurai. After losing to the young warrior Yoshitsune, he becomes his loyal companion and protector.
