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

Mami the Psychic (エスパー魔美, Esupā Mami; "ESPer Mami") is a manga series created by Fujiko F. Fujio in 1977 and serialized in Shōnen Big Comic. It tells stories about Mami, a middle schoolgirl who one day finds out she has various psychic powers, and how she uses them to help people. The series was later adapted into an anime series in 1987 and an anime film in 1988. This series has a similar premise to one of Fujiko F. Fujio's earlier shorts titled Akage no Anko ("Redheaded Anko"), later retitled Anko Ōi ni Okoru ("When Anko Really Gets Angry"), which is about Anko Aoyama, a schoolgirl who discovers her psychic powers and the dark secret of her mother's lineage of true witches, and who also poses nude for her own father.
