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

Library War: The Wings of Revolution (Japanese: 図書館戦争 革命のつばさ, Hepburn: Toshokan Sensō: Kakumei no Tsubasa) is a 2012 Japanese animated film adapting Library Revolution, the fourth and final volume of Library War light novel series by Hiro Arikawa, and a sequel to Library War (2008). Produced by Production I.G and distributed by Kadokawa Pictures, the film is directed by Takayuki Hamana from a script written by Kenji Konuta. The film follows the Library Defense Force protecting a novelist, who becomes the target of the Media Betterment Committee due to the resemblance of his book to a recent terror attack. The anime film adaptation was confirmed in June 2011. Hamana and Konuta joined the staff in December 2011. The voice cast of the anime series confirmed their return to reprise their roles for the film in February 2012, with Issey Ogata and Megumi Han joining them the following month. Library War: The Wings of Revolution had an early screening in Tokyo on June 5, 2012, and was widely released in Japan on June 16. The film grossed ¥210 million at the box office.
