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.
How it feels

What happens
Robotech is a space opera animated television series created by Carl Macek for Harmony Gold USA. It aired in broadcast syndication from March 4 to June 28, 1985, comprising 85 episodes. Set over a four-decade period, the series follows three alien invasions of Earth prompted by humanity's discovery of an extraterrestrial scientific advancement known as Robotechnology. The series was developed by adapting three unrelated anime into a single story. The first part is based on Super Dimension Fortress Macross, the second is based on Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross, and the third is based on Genesis Climber MOSPEADA. Each anime serves as the basis of the three Robotech wars depicted in the series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
