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

Idol Memories (アイドルメモリーズ, Aidoru Memorīzu) is a Japanese idol anime television series produced by Seven Arcs Pictures and Happy Elements. It is a "hybrid anime", where the first half of the show is a typical animation and the second half is a live-action segment featuring the anime's voice actresses. Katsuya Kikuchi directed the anime with scripts written by Hiroshi Oonogi, and I've Sound produced the music. Idol Memories debuted on October 3, 2016 on Tokyo MX with further airings on AT-X.
