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

Tenchi Universe (天地無用!, Tenchi Muyō!) is a Japanese anime television series animated by AIC and produced by Pioneer LDC. It is loosely based on the first six episodes of the Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki OVA series. The series premiered on April 2, 1995, in Japan and concluded its airing on September 24, 1995. The series aired in the United States on Cartoon Network's cartoon block Toonami on July 20, 2000, and ended on August 24, 2000. Two feature films came from this canon, Tenchi the Movie: Tenchi Muyo in Love and Tenchi Forever! The Movie. Funimation announced distribution of the series, along with several other Tenchi properties, on July 2, 2010, at Anime Expo. This series introduces three new characters: Mihoshi's partner Kiyone Makibi (who first appears in the "Mihoshi Special"), the bounty hunter and Ryoko's rival, Nagi, and her cabbit companion, Ken-Ohki. The series portrays characters with different personalities; Washu is a mildly-insane egomaniac with two pop-up dolls that proclaim her greatness, and Mihoshi is a comic relief character whose constant bumbling, blunders and crying fits often cause the gang to get into trouble.
