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 film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Macross Plus (マクロスプラス, Makurosu Purasu) is a four-episode mecha anime OVA and theatrical movie in the Macross series. It was the first direct sequel to the original Macross television series that took place in the official timeline (Macross II was quickly retconned by series creator Shōji Kawamori as a parallel world story in the Macross universe). The series takes place 30 years after the events of Macross, and follows military test pilots Isamu Dyson and Guld Bowman, as they are eventually drawn into a battle against a powerful rogue artificial intelligence that threatens to destroy all life on Earth, and must overcome their mutual hatred of each other in order to cooperate and save the planet. Macross Plus was a groundbreaking combination of traditional cel and computer-generated animation at the time of its release, paving the way for the incorporation of more computer-generated imagery in Japanese animation. Both the OVA series and movie were released in Japan by Bandai Visual and in North America and Europe by Manga Entertainment. The Australian VHS version was released by Manga Entertainment and the DVD version by Madman Entertainment under sub-license from Manga Entertainment. It features several new mecha designs inspired by the original series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
