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

Arcadia of My Youth: Endless Orbit SSX (わが青春のアルカディア·無限軌道SSX, Waga Seishun no Arukadia - Mugen Kidō Esu Esu Ekkusu) is an animated television series created by Leiji Matsumoto. It is the sequel to the 1982 animated film Arcadia of My Youth, but like many of the stories set in the Leijiverse, the continuity of the series does not necessarily agree with other Harlock series or films. The series premiered just as the Gundam craze began in Japan. Mobile Suit Gundam ushered in a new era of more realistic sci-fi anime that made the fantasy and melodrama of Captain Harlock seemingly outdated. Therefore, the series suffered low viewer ratings and was ended after 22 episodes, half of what was originally planned. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
