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
A school building and its students are torn from the present and sent to a barren future world. The children must struggle to survive in a hostile and empty landscape.

What happens
The Drifting Classroom (漂流教室, Hyōryū Kyōshitsu) is a Japanese horror manga series written and illustrated by Kazuo Umezu. It was serialized in the manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Sunday from 1972 to 1974, and published as collected tankōbon volumes by Shogakukan. The series follows a school that is mysteriously transported through time to a post-apocalyptic future. In 1987, The Drifting Classroom was adapted into a live-action film directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi. An American adaptation, Drifting School, was produced in 1995. The Long Love Letter, a Japanese television drama loosely based on The Drifting Classroom, was released in 2002. The series was critically acclaimed, and won a Shogakukan Manga Award in 1974.
