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
Ressha Sentai ToQger (烈車戦隊トッキュウジャー, Ressha Sentai Tokkyūjā; Train Squadron ToQger) is a Japanese television series, a Tokusatsu drama of the 38th installment in Toei Company's Super Sentai metaseries, following Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger. It aired on TV Asahi affiliates from February 16, 2014 to February 15, 2015, replacing Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger and was replaced by Shuriken Sentai Ninninger. The program joining Kamen Rider Gaim and later, Kamen Rider Drive in the Super Hero Time programming block. The series has a train motif, and unlike many previous series where the heroes are named after colors, the heroes in ToQger are numbered and also regularly swap colors during battle. The series' main characters made a cameo appearance in the film Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger vs. Go-Busters: The Great Dinosaur Battle! Farewell Our Eternal Friends, and appeared in a special meet-and-greet and press conference at Tokyo Dome City in late January 2014. In October 2014, the series was given the Japan Railway Award's Special award by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in its annual "Train Day" observance, recognizing its effect on making children enjoy trains. Two of the series villain costumes and a prop were respectively used for the 24th/25th & 28th/29th seasons of the American Power Rangers series (Power Rangers Ninja Steel / Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel & Power Rangers Dino Fury, which was adapting the 2015 & 2019 Sentai installment, Shuriken Sentai Ninninger & Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger).
