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.
How it feels
A team of mecha pilots defends Earth from two separate alien invasions. The first part covers an attack by the Armanoid aliens, and the second part deals with the Gallos aliens.

What happens
Zero Tester (ゼロテスター, Zerotesutā) is a mecha anime series produced by Tohokushinsha and animated by Soeisha (later renamed as Nippon Sunrise). It consists of 66 episodes and was originally broadcast on Fuji TV. The first 39 episodes tell the attempted invasion of the earth by Armanoid aliens, while the remaining 27 episodes, with the series retitled Zero Tester: Save the Earth! (Chikyu o Mamotte!), are about an attack by Gallos aliens. According to Jonathan Clements and Helen McCarthy's The Anime Encyclopedia, it was "an early gathering of many of anime's future greats, particularly for the Gundam series".
