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

A group of high school girls try to decide what activities their club should do. They talk over ideas in a deliberately silly and self-aware way, often breaking the fourth wall. The show uses basic computer animation and improv-like conversations.

What happens

Tesagure! Bukatsu-mono (てさぐれ！部活もの) is a Japanese anime television series. The series is animated using the program MikuMikuDance. The series began airing on Nippon Television in October 2013. A second season titled Tesagure! Bukatsu-mono Encore (てさぐれ!部活もの あんこーる) aired from January 12, 2014. A manga illustrated by Kotora Suzune is published online on Manga Life Win by Takeshobo. The third season is a collaboration with Ryū Jikō and Kidani L's manga Minarai Megami: Puru Purun Charm, which is published in Monthly Shōnen Sirius, and titled Tesagure! Bukatsumono Spin-off Purupurun Sharumu to Asobou (てさぐれ!部活もの すぴんおふ プルプルんシャルムと遊ぼう). Instead of each episode being 15 minutes as with the previous two seasons, the length of each episode is 30 minutes long to match the format of most TV anime. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
