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

Madö King Granzört (Japanese: 魔動王(マドーキング)グランゾート, Hepburn: Madō Kingu Guranzōto) is a Japanese mecha animated series produced by Sunrise, created by Ōji Hiroi (Sakura Wars, Far East of Eden) and directed by Shūji Iuchi. It aired on NTV from April 7, 1989, to March 2, 1990. It spawned three special direct-to-video episodes and two Original Video Animation movies, as well as a video game for the PC Engine SuperGrafx. Unlike Mashin Hero Wataru, the series uses both Jewish and gnostic terminology, particularly the Kabbalah. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
