If anyone's curious, Odex's DVD release of Monster Vol 1 is actually pretty decent. The font is a plain sans serif one and white in colour, unlike earlier releases that had yellow serif >.< Translations seem alright to me. I hope they commit themselves to releasing it fully, unlike what they did for Chrno Crusade (got Vol 1 almost 4-5 years ago, and still waiting for 2...)
When it comes to the bottom line, if they can come up with good releases for good anime at good prices, I don't see any reason not to buy from them. They may have made some PR boo-boos (and major ones, too), but they're the only local option for anime DVDs. I could always import, but i don't see any harm in supporting a local company if it does its job well. If Odex cleans up its act I'm willing to give another chance.
I suppose it's already licensed in Singapore, since Arts Central is showing it at the 11.30pm slot...
