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

Ehrgeiz (ネクスト戦記EHRGEIZ, Nekusuto senki EHRGEIZ; lit. Record of the Next War Ehrgeiz) is an original 1997 Japanese anime television series from et, with animation by Studio Deen, and produced by d-rights and BeStack. The title is a mix of Japanese and German. The North American release by Bandai Entertainment (then AnimeVillage) used only the German "Ehrgeiz" which, when translated into English, means "ambition". The show was originally aired late at night (being the first TV mecha anime to do so) on TV Tokyo; however, Ehrgeiz was eventually re-run on the cable/satellite channel AT-X in 1999.
