News Odex To Return to Singapore DVD Market
posted on 2005-08-05 17:29 EDT
Past Odex DVDs Included English Subtitles
A representative of Singaporean anime licensor Odex has confirmed online that Odex will release Fullmetal Alchemist on region 3 DVD.
Due to licensing restrictions that bar Odex from releasing and English dubs of Fullmetal Alchemist in Singapore before it is released in North America, the Odex DVDs will only be subtitled.
The Fullmetal Alchemist DVDs are a market test, if they are successful Odex may release more DVDs, otherwise they will return to releasing only VCDs.
Ideally Odex hopes to keep this schedule for DVD releases:
-Burst Angel ep.1-12 (Aug)
-Chrono Crusade ep.1-12 (Aug)
-Gundam Seed Destiny ep.1-12 (Aug)
-Monster ep.1-12 (Sep)
-Tactics ep.1-12 (Sep)
-Samurai 7 ep.1-13 (Sep)
-Gundam Seed Destiny ep.13-24 (Sep)
Odex has not stated which DVDs will or will not include English subtitles. Should the above DVDs include English subtitles they will be the first legitimate English subtitled DVD releases of several of the titles (Monster and Tactics have not been announced as licensed in North America yet).
Odex had released anime DVDs in the past but cut back on their DVD releases to focus on VCDs.

There are reasons to watch this movie: fine individual scenes, fun cameos, interesting alterations. They're exceedingly small charms, though, for a film that squanders so many large ones.

Appleseed XIII BD+DVD
The first series version of Masamune Shirow's renowned manga deserves credit for its ambitious use of CG, symbolism, and allusions to Greek mythology, but it wields its symbolism like a blunt weapon and its episodes vary too widely in quality.

Dragon Ball [3-in-1 Edition] GN 1
Akira Toriyama's talents are clear to see, with the ever-growing roster of characters, a joyful sense of adventure, and visuals that are cuddly and cute yet action-packed.
Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic GN 1
It is clear that this series is only just getting started. There are some pacing and story issues that look as though they will even out as the tale continues on, and overall Magi's first volume has a lot of promise.

Valvrave the Liberator eps 7-12
While the second quarter of this series offers plenty of dramatic twists and turns and lots of mecha action and new mechas, it will probably be most-remembered for one particularly daring scene.
