Odex improvement Thread
-
Hiya everybody!!!
i am seeing alot of threads on odex... saying how bad it is etc etc....
So why not come out with an Odex improvement thread!?
Rules:
1. Can be imaginary
2. You can DUN take into account of the japanese companies and Odex resources or their limited technology
3. No Flaming of Odex
4. Nothing stupid like them commiting suicide or closing down
5. This is purely a have fun thread. Sit back and think of possible scenarios that can happen with Odex.
6. It does not need to follow the boundaries of Singapore and Japanese LAW
7. Does not have to be realistic
We shld use our rich imagination to come up with possible scenarios that will allow continued exposure of high quality anime (may not be free), yet not hurt our relationships between anime fans, Odex and Japan.
Alrighty let me get the ball rolling:
Ichi: Hey this is the age of satellite TV!! why cant Odex broadcast a Pay to Watch channel directly via satellite or even have their very own cable channel. Of course, the anime must be up to date, maybe just 1-2 months time lapse from the actual airing in Japan. They must make it afforfable too like $20-30 per mth.
Ni: Since they ARE taking fansubs to fuel their anime VCDs, why not set up an Odex Fanbase where they employ Singapore Anime Fanbase to do up the Fansubs for them. They let us download RAW anime and the fanbase do up their subtitiles and translation for them.
Alright man keep the BALL rolling, i will continue to imput too!!

Eh i think i never emphasize properly, this thread is a FUN thread. Pls dun post solemn discussions and facts that are being discussed EVERYWHERE. Like i said pls come out with as creative scenarios that can be unrealistic.
Let SIMCITY or SIMs be an inspiration. -
their anime need to be released out every week n more updated if possible.
n price has to be cheap. maybe sell at $3-$5 per episode. -
3-5 dollar per episode very ex leh.... now they 1 volume got abt 12 episode but only 28 dollar, roughly $2 plus per episode.
-
Just close down la... That'll improve A LOT.
-
lol from the looks of things cannot close down so fast...
we must think of the worst case scenario:
Walking hand in hand with Odex.
eh i noe you all hate odex alot but relac.... this one fun thread... think of funny things we can do to them or they can do... -
I be concise here.Originally posted by metalizechicken:Hiya everybody!!!

1:Japanese companies would refuse to do that unless odex is willing give them some mega sized incentive. Odex wont take the effort too.
2: Same thing. Japanese companies wont allow odex to do that. And odex wont take the effort too. Fans wont do that shit too.
3: $3~5 per episode is consider cheap compared to R2 Dvds. If you want DVDs for the latest anime series for example gurren lagann, 3~4 episodes would cost at least $40~60.
Kthx.
Its impossible to watch japanese anime legally on time if you arent living in japan.
The only solution now is for the japs to launch VOD on a global scale.
But apparently, the japs are skeptical of doing so.
Unless they start acting on that, nothing is going to change.
Distributing anime through physical methods aint gonna work anymore.

Topic has been discussed to death already.

lol missqi ...
you finally step out of the damn bar and come out for some fresh anime air huh? -
i know your thread was meant to be fun but i hate odex so much that no improvement is going to lessen that hatred. i just want it to rot, close down and burn in hell. that will be their best improvement for me.

Best Solution:
Close Down
Good Solution:
Stop distribution of Anime and diversify to other more viable shows like Hong Kong Dramas.
Ok Solution:
Stop sueing of downloaders.
Reform the Anime division into a slimmer one
- 1 title = 2 tl, 1 editor, 2 qc (editor and qc can work in more than 1 project/ I would guess 5-7 as a reasonable limit.)
Outsource subtitling to fansubs
SOHO if you can to lower operating cost... just rent a warehouse for storage
Diversify into related merchandise such as importing anime mags, cd, poster, figurines, etc
Use new containers instead of CD/DVD to lower costs. (like mkv. mkv only needs CCCP to run in PCs. There are packages for mac and linux aso.)
If you need to sell in bulk, sell in thumbdrives. Thumbdrives are dirt cheap these days and can store 1 season's worth of an anime. Cost = ThumbDrive + Episodes.
Fail Solution:
Sue teh hell out and make this generation hate you. -

the reason why pple download anime illegally is becos they want to watch the anime first hand.
maybe opex can implement those coin token machines in sg for pple to have their thumb-drive to download anime episode they desire.
i feel $3 per episode download is cheap comparing to buying the series at $28 as not many hippis can afford this amount.
to fork out $3 allowance is definitely worth it n pple will not having fear of getting caught for dl. -
I repeat, the only way is for TV Tokyo to launch VOD in a global scale.
KTHX! -
xedo can improve by the asswipes committing ritual suicide by setting themselves on fire after slashing their wrists and disembowelling themselves
-
Conclusion : WTH would anyone want ODEX to improve? We just want it out of the picture totally! Boycott!
Anyway, I'm not odex'ed nor do I download anime... but blackmailing people who download animes is definitely not a way that I see in a business industry. They can take legal action if they want but blackmailing? It just make no sense that SG legalised system would condone them doing illegal things so openly.
