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

What happens

Final Yamato (Japanese: 宇宙戦艦ヤマト・完結編, Hepburn: Uchuu Senkan Yamato Kanketsu Hen; lit. "Space Battleship Yamato: Final Saga") is a 1983 Japanese anime epic science fiction film and the fifth film (fourth theatrical) of the Space Battleship Yamato saga (known as Star Blazers in the United States). Its extended 70mm cut was the longest theatrical animated film in the world for 36 years, until it was surpassed by In This Corner (and Other Corners) of the World, the 2019 extended cut of 2016's In This Corner of the World, by five minutes.
