I have it - it is a good set, but does not include the 1934 "toybox" anime, nor any of the wartime anime ( "Kumo to chûrippu", "Umi no Shinpei", etc). As you mention, these are on you-tube, in poor resolution, just to tantalize us! On the 1934 "toybox", I have seen it rumored that this had something to do with the expiration of an international naval treaty in 1936, a subject of concern among certain circles in Japan. Maybe, and maybe not. The anime is more than a little crazy but lots of fun (with great music too), and like the wartime anime, can (and very well should) be enjoyed on its own merits, within the limitations of the times. If you have any success in locating any of these gems on DVD (or even VHS), please let me know. Mattt-
