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

Trapèze (空中ブランコ, Kūchū Buranko, littéralement « Trapèze volant ») est une série d'animation, produit par le studio Tōei Animation et diffusée à un rythme hebdomadaire dans la case spéciale noitaminA sur la chaîne télévisée Fuji TV du 15 octobre 2009 au 24 décembre 2009 de 00h45m à 01h15m (17h45m à 18h15m heure française). Depuis avril 2011, la plateforme de vidéo à la demande française Wakanim le diffuse en simulcast. Cet anime est, à l'origine, une adaptation d'un best-seller japonais écrit par Hideo Okuda et fut traduit en France sous le titre Un yakuza chez le psy: Et autres patients du Dr Irabu. Il a été aussi adapté en drama et film-live en 2005. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
