I was searching through Google hoping that there will be a DVD collection of Saru Get Chu ~On Air~ and 2nd episodes when I encountered this article (Link is at the bottom of the post).
Not many Ape Escape fans outside of Japan know about this DVD which came out 9 years ago when Ape Escape was around. The DVD was also advertised in the Japanese Ape Escape 2 commercials, and came out 6 days before Christmas 2002.
According to the web page, it comes with 76 animated shorts (45 seconds each) that were aired by TV Tokyo, a movie that was released in Summer 2002 called "Ape Escape: Battle of the Golden Pipo Helm", a video that teaches you how to dance to the song "Yappari Saru Get Chu" and an exclusive Afrosaru game card that is not sold in public (There exists a card game based on Ape Escape 2).
You can still buy it online for 2800 Yen on sites like play-asia, ebay or amazon.
There are some of the animated shorts from the DVD that were posted on Veoh, but these are the dubbed versions.
I have not seen the movie, but as a fan of Ape Escape, I would like to.
This is where I found the information about the DVD: http://game.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/20021119/saru.htm
