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

Ghost Stories (Japanese: 学校の怪談, Hepburn: Gakkō no Kaidan; lit. 'School Ghost Stories'), is a Japanese anime television series based on the book series Ghost Stories by Tōru Tsunemitsu. Produced by Fuji Television, SPE Visual Works and Studio Pierrot, the series aired on Fuji TV and its affiliates from October 2000 to March 2003. Sources conflict as to whether the anime's original run was successful or not, though there is evidence of it having a relatively successful run. Nevertheless, it received notoriety in the succeeding years with its official English dub, which mostly replaced the original script for the series with pop culture references and dark humor.
