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

Laid-Back Camp Movie (Japanese: 映画 ゆるキャン△, Hepburn: Eiga Yurukyan), also known as Yuru Camp Movie, is a 2022 Japanese animated film based on the manga series Laid-Back Camp by Afro. Produced by C-Station and distributed by Shochiku, the film is directed by Yoshiaki Kyogoku from an original story written by Jin Tanaka and Mutsumi Ito. In the film, a grown-up Nadeshiko Kagamihara, Rin Shima, Chiaki Ōgaki, Aoi Inuyama, and Ena Saitō reunite to build a campsite. The film was included in a project pitched by producer Shōichi Hotta to animation producer Ryoji Maru after accepting it from FuRyu. The film was announced in October 2018, with Kyogoku, Tanaka, Ito, and character designer Mutsumi Sasaki confirming their return from two seasons of Laid-Back Camp in April 2021. Yumiri Hanamori, Nao Tōyama, Sayuri Hara, Aki Toyosaki, and Rie Takahashi were confirmed in October 2021 to be reprising their voice roles from the anime television series, with their characters going to be matured in the film. Additional staff and cast for the film were revealed in March and June 2022, respectively. Laid-Back Camp Movie had a screening in Tokyo on June 19, 2022, and was released in Japan on July 1. The film grossed over $8 million worldwide. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
