just wondering; I've seen a lot of shops (including legit stores like Speedy video) selling anime DVDs of this variant myanime dvds. Note the "original anime" stickers and the holographic Tulen stickers.
I've only bought FMP:TSR of this type of dvds, and i have to say I'm not quite happy with the overall quality of the discs. The most obvious is the picture quality. It's not up to DVD standard. It looks as if the resolution has been shrunk down to fit a VCD format, and the only difference is that they managed to stuff the entire season into one DVD. The Japanese release had two disks, if i'm not mistaken.
The subtitles are, well, bearable. They tend to misspell some of the names and the mechs, but the grammar is at least intelligible.
no omake videos, no extra content.
what is your verdict? did this company actually licensed the anime before they sell them?

1 look at the prices you would know its all 'original'

no harm done, it's just 13 ringgit i spent on a whim.
normally i buy box sets for the American release, by licensing companies like ADV.
(region-free dvd players ftw)

but it's rather sad though, If you go to Low Yat or Sungei Wang Plaza, the fansub rip divx-dvds are no longer sold, but these dvds which are just as illegal are sold openly.
I wouldn't mind paying for an original release as long as they maintain their quality and I get my monies worth. Now you don't have a choice but to spend more, and get no improvement in quality. Just because they paid some people in Penapisan to get the stickers. The corruption runs deep.

Just hoping a credible licensing company would open here in Malaysia to cater for our little niche here.
can someone tell me which shops sell the Odex animes?
thx
