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.

How it feels

Old mecha robots are reimagined as cute magical girls. They have silly adventures and poke fun at classic anime series.

Robot Girls Z (Japanese: ロボットガールズZ, Hepburn: Robotto Gāruzu Zetto) is an anime television series created by Dynamic Planning and animated by Toei Animation. The series is a comedic parody of various mecha series produced by Toei, anthropomorphizing robots from those series into magical girls.

The opening theme is "Robot Girls Z" (ロボットガールズZ) by Kikai♡Shoujotai (Mariko Honda, Inori Minase, Kazusa Aranami, Maaya Uchida, and Minami Tsuda), whilst the ending theme is "Team Z's Power" (チームZのチカラ, Chīmu Zetto no Chikara) by Robot Girls Team Z (Honda, Minase, and Aranami).
