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
This 1970s anime follows a young woman in pre-revolutionary France who becomes a masked vigilante known as the Star of the Seine. She fights injustice and aids the oppressed while dealing with personal stakes tied to the mysterious Black Tulip.

What happens
La Seine no Hoshi (ラ・セーヌの星, Ra Sēnu no Hoshi) is a Japanese anime series by Soeisha (later renamed as Sunrise), which premiered in Japan on Fuji TV from April 4, 1975 and finished its run on December 26, 1975, spanning a total of 39 episodes. The title translates to English as "The Star of the Seine" or "The Seine's Star". It is based on Alain Delon's 1964 movie The Black Tulip (which, in spite of the title, is based on Alexandre Dumas, père's novel The Black Tulip in name only). It was created by Mitsuru Kaneko, and directed by Masaaki Ōsumi (episodes 1-26) and Yoshiyuki Tomino (episodes 27-39). It was written by Sōji Yoshikawa, while the character designer was Akio Sugino. The music for the series was composed by Shunsuke Kikuchi. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
