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

《我为歌狂》是2001年前后由上海美术电影制片厂与上海电视台一同投资制作的以校园生活为背景、以青春恋爱和流行音乐梦想为主题的52集电视动画连续剧。上海电视台于2001年8月6日起开始播出前半部分的26集,在2002年继续播放后半部分的26集直至完结,继上海电视台之后,中国大陆很多其他电视台先后也播放了这部动画。《我为歌狂》讲述了上海南华高级中学的几位男学生自己组成流行音乐乐队,追求自己的音乐梦想的故事,家长和老师的不理解和阻挠、乐队成员之间的摩擦和经验的缺乏、校园爱情的缱绻纠葛使得他们的梦想之路并不平坦。《我为歌狂》自称“中国版《灌篮高手》”,它的很多方面参考了日本相似类型动画《灌篮高手》,这在动画的制作、人物设定和宣传推广上都有体现,例如其中的穿插的Q版人物形象。《我为歌狂》是中国大陆第一部以校园音乐为题材的动画。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
