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

Majokko Megu-chan (魔女っ子メグちゃん; lit. Megu the Little Witch) is a Japanese magical girl anime television series. The manga was created by Tomō Inoue and Makiho Narita, while the 72-episode anime series was produced by Toei Animation between 1974 and 1975. Majokko Megu-chan is considered an important forerunner of the present-day magical girl genre, as the series' characterization and general structure exerted considerable influence over future shows in the same genre. Most notably, several of the series' recurring motifs inspired Toei's Sailor Moon, AIC's Pretty Sammy, and (to a lesser degree) Wedding Peach. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
