Odex Survey II
UPDATE 2: I have reached the desired sample size. Thank you everyone for your help! I will publish the results here soon. Maybe tomorrow.
UPDATE: The survey has been reopened! Please go do it now if you haven’t already! I also added some new questions, but if you have already done the survey then it’s okay.
After helping out some Sec 3 students with their school project, I have decided to conduct my own little survey to satisfy my personal curiosity. So, if you are a Singaporean anime fan, then please take this survey! And please help to spread it around to all your anime buddies!
Do the survey or Yuki gets it…again!
And in case you haven’t heard… Odex has roped in four Japanese companies, held a press conference that resulted in the first CNA article on the subject, and launched their new VOD service with a grand total of two titles up for download.
Anyway, please do the survey, okay? I need a titanic sample size.

Hi, I visited your blog after seeing you on sgcafe. Thought I’d see an update. =/
Well anyway, I just tried odex’s VoD (registered users gets 2pts free upon signup) and watched seto no hanayome 10, downloaded the whole thing in about 15mins at 300kb/s. Filesize was a huge 307mb for only a 640×480 resolution with a 64kbps audio. Nothing obviously wrong in my careful watching of the first half of the show.
I did your survey and thought that a seven days viewing license was kinda mismatched with the question of quality, since I feel most of us would only care about quality if we intend to keep it.

Question 2 is really vague.

Your survey doesn’t take into account people living overseas. For example, living in Oz, I have the option of buying / renting Madman DVDs ^_^

I’ve taken the survey.
Just to point out that the involvement of the Japanese studios who threaten to sue SG fans directly if the Odex appeal fails, means that the last question in your survey is beyond Odex.
I’m disillusioned by the fervent support the studios have given Odex. So if I give up anime after all these years, it won’t be because of Odex.

Check out Todayonline.com
There’s an article there as well… And after all this time, they’re still insisting that focus groups can’t differentiate between the DVDs released in Japan and their own releases played on a 42″ Plasma TV…
Not sure if they know, but they’re suppose to compare their DVD releases with the fansub ones, since that’s their main complain. No point comparing between the speed between a Ferrari and a Porshe when we prefer ride on jet planes.
