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
A civilian crew runs a battleship using a controlling system built around the captain's hobbies. The show mixes slapstick comedy with real robot battles and explores love triangles among the crew.

What happens
Martian Successor Nadesico (Japanese: 機動戦艦ナデシコ, Hepburn: Kidō Senkan Nadeshiko; lit. "Mobile Battleship Nadesico"), sometimes referred to as simply Nadesico (ナデシコ, Nadeshiko), is a 1996 science fiction comedy anime television series produced by Xebec and directed by Tatsuo Sato, with manga artist Kia Asamiya providing original character designs, Keiji Gotoh serving as chief animation director, Mika Akitaka being the main mechanical designer and Takayuki Hattori composing the music. A manga adaptation by Asamiya was published by Kadokawa Shoten from July 26, 1996, to December 26, 1998, before the premiere of the anime. The manga, licensed in North America by CPM Manga, has many significant changes from the anime.

In 2005, Anime News Network reported that plans for Nadesico 2 were scrapped, citing an entry on Stellvia director Tatsuo Sato's blog. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
