Odex starts new online anime channel

AnimeTrixThe infamous Singaporean anime distributor Odex has teamed up with state-owned television and radio broadcasting company MediaCorp to open up a number of new anime distribution channels.

Firstly, Odex will now be showing anime on MediaCorp’s Arts Central TV channel. In a joint statement released, the companies said that this will be the only terrestrial television channel in the world (outside of Japan) where anime episodes are broadcast the same week as they premiere in Japan.

In addition, a new online anime channel dubbed ‘Anime Trix’ will be made available through MediaCorp’s video-on-demand site MOBTV.sg. The new channel should be online July 21st (i.e. today!), and will cost S$10 per month for access.

Below is a list of series airing on the different channels:

MOBTV AnimeTrix Channel:

  • D. Gray-Man
  • Neo Angelique Abyss
  • Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge (How to Make a Cinderella),
  • Tokyo Majin
  • Seto no Hanayome (My Bride is a Mermaid)
  • Domo

Arts Central:

  • Neo Angelique Abyss – every Wednesday at 11.30pm
  • Zero No Tsukaima: Princesses no Rondo – every Thursday at 11.30pm
  • D.Gray-Man – every Friday at 11pm

I know there are lots of Singaporeans in the anime burogusphere, so what do you guys think about this news? Happy about the new channel/shows airing, or is everything that Odex does made of Fail?

    Of all the series listed, I only watch Zero no Tsukaima 3. But taking into consideration that both ZnT season 1 and 2 were never shown on TV, and we’re supposed not to have had access to previous series/episodes on it elsewhere, and they just jump us to season 3 with no knowledge of what’s going on? I say they truly FAIL.

    And yes, I don’t forget events which would had have an effect on me easily. Odex is just FAIL to me.
