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

Armitage III (アミテージ・ザ・サード, Amitēji Za Sādo) is a 1995 cyberpunk original video animation series. It centers on Naomi Armitage, a highly advanced "Type-III" android. In 1996, the series was edited into a film called Armitage III: Poly-Matrix (アミテージ POLY-MATRIX(ポリマトリックス), Amitēji Pori Matorikkusu). The series was followed up in 2002 with a sequel, Armitage: Dual-Matrix (アミテージ DUAL-MATRIX(デューアルマトリックス)) set some years after the original story. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
