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
This anime adapts traditional Japanese fairy tales for classroom and after-school viewing. It was produced for government agencies and distributed on film reels. The episodes likely teach moral lessons through familiar folk stories.
