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.

ha, looks like the Japs have abandoned the Singapore market….

They were in here just for the enforcement rather than the market itself in the first place, according to this : http://haitaka.googlepages.com/home2
@Darkmirage : How many samples do you have already?

Hi DM, done the survey. Any possibility you can get the local anime POV to the Japanese side?

Besides Singet, Starhub and Pacnet Isps, there’re also M1, Qmax and also Qala.

@DarkMirage: i wanna know what will you do with the result you get from this survey?

Did the survey.
If the Japanese are going to get involved directly, I’d rather they do sales proper here as well. Don’t start taking (legal) action only when s*** happens. Reeks of entrapment.

Numerous English grammatical and orthographical errors on the Odex site indicate the generally low English ability of Odex.

Anyway, there are ways around DRM protection, if people really wanted to, they could just remove it.

Unfortunately, when you think about it, there’s 2 things a lot of people hate when it comes to media related entertainment.
1: Bad Quality
2: Censors
No matter how much Odex might try, if the censorship board continues to censor stuff, it’ll be useless. I mean, read the Todayonline… They “changed” Fruits Basket because of the affection between 2 guys. Viewers hate it when censors pull these kind of stunts.
It happened in CardCaptor Sakura loads of times. The affection between the 2 female leads, the affection between a few of the male characters and the relationship between the female lead’s parents. Mostly it will go un-noticed, but when it becomes noticed, there’ll be lots of unhappy customers around. I don’t think we’re that retarded to turn gay once we watch Fruits Basket*.
* No offence to all gays out there. Just stating that we’re smart enough to not get influenced by what we watch. It’s been many years since a kid tried to fly with an umbrella after watching Mary Poppins…

I wanted to do your survey but I keep getting the surveymonkey.com’s index page instead. XD

Did the survey.
Hope the result will show the Jap that we are seriously lacking QUALITY distributors here and they should remove ODEX license!

Are those VOD raws? If not, whose doing the subbing?

Just want to say for *13, Ultimately, my impression of Odex has : Changed from not knowning its existance at all(cause I never buy any anime VCD/DVD at all in my whole life)to who is this clown and what kind of joke is he pulling at the anime community?
And I agreed with x that if I , too give up anime after all these years, it wont be because of Odex.
