nihongo|"Saru Get You -On Air-"|サルゲッチュ 〜オンエアー〜|Saru Getchu -On Eā- is a computer-generated imagery-based animated television series, based on Sony's best-selling video game franchise of the same name (known as "Ape Escape" in the U.S.).

The anime, based on the games Million Monkeys, Saru Get You/Ape Escape 3 and Saru Saru Big Mission debuted as part of TV Tokyo's thirty-minute "Oha Coliseum" segment. Saru Get You episodes are approximately 10 minutes long; the remaining time-slot was originally filled with "Rockman EXE Beast+" episodes but has since been replaced by "Ryusei no Rockman" episodes as of October 7, coinciding with the start of the second Saru Get You series (entitled "Saru Get You -On Air- 2nd"). The second series concluded on the 29th of September, 2007 and was replaced by Zero Duel Masters from the 6th of October, 2007.

The anime is a bit more light-hearted than the video-game series and is geared more toward younger audiences. It focuses mainly on Jake/Hiroki's romance with Natalie/Natsumi than Spike/Kakeru's romance with Helga/Haruka. Currently, there are no plans for an English adaptation.
