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
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury (Japanese: 機動戦士ガンダム 水星の魔女, Hepburn: Kidō Senshi Gandamu: Suisei no Majo) is a Japanese mecha anime television series and the fifteenth mainline entry in Sunrise's long-running Gundam franchise. It was directed by Hiroshi Kobayashi with scripts by Ichirō Ōkouchi, and aired from October 2022 to July 2023. Set in a society where powerful spacefaring conglomerates dominate the economy, the series centers on mobile suits called "GUND-ARMS," which were derived from "GUND," a medical technology originally designed to mitigate physical disabilities caused by space habitation. The Witch from Mercury is notable for being the first mainline Gundam series to air entirely during Japan's Reiwa era and the first televised installment to feature both a female and LGBTQ protagonist, Suletta Mercury. Thematically, the series explores issues of capitalism and political corruption, drawing stylistic inspiration from Shakespeare's The Tempest and early-modern witch trials, especially as metaphorically reflected in its central GUND technology.
