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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Andersen Stories (アンデルセン物語, Anderusen Monogatari), known outside Japan as Paramount Pictures Presents Hans Christian Andersen, is a Japanese anime anthology series based on the stories of Hans Christian Andersen which aired on Fuji TV from January 3 to December 26, 1971. It consists of 52 episodes and produced by Zuiyo Enterprise and animated by Mushi Production. The show is a third entry in the Calpis Comic Theater, a precursor of the World Masterpiece Theater series. Zuiyo Enterprise would split in 1975 into Nippon Animation and Zuiyo Company, which retained the rights of the series along with Mushi Production. Nippon Animation employed some of the anime's production staff and continued with the World Masterpiece Theater franchise. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
