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

『テニスの王子様』（テニスのおうじさま）は、許斐剛による同名の漫画を原作とした日本のテレビアニメ・アニメーション映画・OVA。 青学テニス部は、テニス好きの大富豪桜吹雪彦麿の主催する豪華客船での船上パーティーのメインイベントとして企画されたエキシビジョンマッチに招かれて参加する。船上で越前リョーマは幼い頃に別れた義兄で桜吹雪チームを率いる越前リョーガと再会する。ところが船内には不審な様子があり、試合の実態は桜吹雪の企む賭テニスであった。青学メンバーは桜吹雪から八百長試合を持ちかけられ脅されるが、要求を退け当日午前の部では桜吹雪チームを撃退する。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
