Odex
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Odex is a Singaporean company that licenses and releases anime for local and regional (South East Asian) consumption. Odex currently releases predominantly in the Video Compact Disc (VCD) rather than DVD format due to its profitability in the region. Most of Odex's products have Japanese language audio, while some releases also include a Chinese dub. Subtitles come in Chinese and/or English varieties. Odex has previously released anime on DVD but stopped doing so due to low market demand (in the region), plus its use as the source of bootlegged copies of anime that's widely sold in North America and Europe. As of 2005, they are currently re-attempting a limited release on DVD with proven market successes such as Full Metal Alchemist and Chrono Crusade.
