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
Two female assassins, one with amnesia, team up to uncover the secrets behind a forgotten past. Their missions take them through a criminal underworld full of danger and hidden conspiracies.

What happens
Noir (Japanese: ノワール, Hepburn: Nowāru) is a 26-episode Japanese anime television series created and written by Ryōe Tsukimura and produced by Victor Entertainment and Bee Train. The series was directed by Kōichi Mashimo, with Yoko Kikuchi, Minako Shiba and Satoko Miyachi in charge of character designs, Kenji Teraoka in charge of mechanical design, and Yuki Kajiura composing the music. Noir was followed by two spiritual successors, Madlax and El Cazador de la Bruja. Together, these series constitute a trilogy exploring the "girls-with-guns" genre. Outside of Japan, Noir has been released on DVD by ADV Films in North America and the United Kingdom and by Madman Entertainment in Australia and New Zealand. After ADV closed, Funimation Entertainment acquired the North American rights to the series in 2010. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
