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.

It is widely considered not only the first OVA released but also the first animated direct-to-video production release. The storyline focuses on a rebellion on a Moon colony by settlers and a mysterious artifact called Dallos. The story and setting take influence from past works such as the 1966 novel The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
