Missing Animes - rare animations which have not been found yet...

7 eps bumped + OP1, but hardly a progress (22 MB all in all)

Alright, now it's the turn of 1924. As previously done, I'm only including those that are known to exist, so a few ones aren't in this list:

1924; Kemurigusa Monogatari (煙り草物語) http://anidb.net/a6845
1924; Usagi to Kame (兎と亀) http://anidb.net/a6844
1924; Ninki no Shouten ni Tateru Gotou Shinpei (人気の焦点に立てる後藤新平)
1924; Houshu no Sasayaki (宝珠のささやき)

The last two aren't yet available in AniDB or World Art, but you can find some info of them in the Japanese, French, German and Italian Wikipedia and of course in other Japanese sources:
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/幸内純一
http://www.tokyoanime.jp/tafweb/taf2...050923_02.html

I love finding this unknown animations. And it's always nice to see the history of anime from a broader perspective.

Some more meat to look for:

ミナミの帝王 (Minami no Teiou)

I'll just say this is originally one (endless) manga series that gave another (endless) live movie series, and a two-OVA (not so endless) series. Is it about gambling ?

97 volumes, eat that Naruto!

the two anime VHS
http://www.jbook.co.jp/p/p.aspx/179735/s
http://www.jbook.co.jp/p/p.aspx/179736/s

All material is in VHS (some live movies on DVD) only, published by SBS/KSS.

In my list there should be two series of two episodes, but I think it's more like two stories per OVA, so two OVAs only. No cover on yahoo auctions (only the live movies).

Excellent! As always, it's nice to find new anime not found in some DB. By the way, this one, while it was not on AniDB or World-Art, besides ANN, was also in Animenfo and allcinema. Not much information though, except that it has some OST for the OVAs, at least two. The best source for info is the Japanese Wikipedia entry actually.

Time for 1925. This time I'm including all known anime from that year, as most of it either has a picture (which means they exist) or are confirmed to exist.

1925; Nonki na Tou-san Ryuuguu Mairi (ノンキナトウサン竜宮参り) http://anidb.net/a6630
1925; Obasuteyama (姥捨山) http://anidb.net/a6830
1925; Shiobara Tasuke (塩原多助) http://anidb.net/a7004
1925; Kokka o Suku e (国家を救へ) http://anidb.net/a7169
1925; Sameyo Yuukensha (醒めよ有権者)
1925; Yosan Seiji (予算政治)
1925; Shisei Sasshin (市制刷新)
1925; Tsubo (つぼ)

Now, with this year, I had to use other sources instead of AniDB or World-Art because they only had three of them. For the rest I found confirmation of them since they were in other sources about classical animation. I wonder why they aren't as widespread available as American animations.

I´ve added Wolf Guy to the list already, as well as I linked ep. 1 of Shin Otokogi.

But - as I think - atm it hardly makes sense to add these old releases to the list as there hardly is any chance to find any of them. Or what do you think? The "videos" (if that phrase could be used at all for these "films") normally are not available in the web...
