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
In early 20th century Tokyo, a spiritual battle unfolds as demons and gods clash over the fate of the city. A shrine maiden and others with magical abilities confront supernatural forces that threaten the urban landscape.

What happens
Doomed Megalopolis (帝都物語, Teito Monogatari) is a 1991 Japanese original video animation (OVA) series produced by Madhouse and distributed by Toei. It is an adaptation of the historical fantasy novel Teito Monogatari by Hiroshi Aramata. Like its live-action predecessor, Tokyo: The Last Megalopolis, the anime is only an adaptation of the first third (the first four books) of the original novel. The plot concerns a spiritual battle within Tokyo during the early 20th century. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
