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

Magical Hat (まじかるハット, Majikaru Hatto) is a Japanese anime television series created by Yōji Katakura and produced by Studio Pierrot that aired on Fuji Television and its affiliates from October 1989 to July 1990. A manga adaptation by Katakura was serialized in many of Shogakukan's magazines in 1989, such as Shogaku Ichinensei, Shogaku Ninensei, Shogaku Shi-nensei, Shogaku Roku-nensei and Bessatsu CoroCoro Comic. It was collected into two tankonbon volumes in October 1989 and May 1990, though it was left unfinished due to Katakura's death in 1997. Both the anime and the manga were planned simultaneously as a media mix project. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
