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 young woman walks through a strange night in Kyoto, encountering one odd event after another. A lovestruck underclassman tries to arrange a meeting with her, but the night keeps throwing them both into wild detours including a battle over a rare book, a raucous drinking contest, and a carnival-like parade.

What happens
The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl (Japanese: 夜は短し歩けよ乙女, Hepburn: Yoru wa Mijikashi Aruke yo Otome) is a 2017 Japanese animated romantic comedy film directed by Masaaki Yuasa. The film is based on the 2006 novel written by Tomihiko Morimi and illustrated by Yusuke Nakamura, who also served as the film's original character designer. It has been awarded the Grand Prize for Best Animated Feature at the Ottawa International Animation Festival and the Japan Academy Prize for Animation of the Year. The film is heavily inspired by The Tatami Galaxy, also based on a novel written by Morimi and directed by Yuasa. Though both works share a Kyoto University setting and some characters, the plotlines are largely unrelated. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
