How did AoA get God Eater when the show's production in Japan has nothing to do with AoJ? When's the last time they got a non-AoJ-affiliated title?

Latter question: Mikunopolis
Former question: Anime Consortium Japan likely holds the rights. It's why they could announce the Daisuki simulcast early and since Aniplex of Japan is a partner in that company, AoA could get the license through them instead of Bandai Namco.

Do you know if it'd be possible to apply for the Eupho new year raffle as a foreigner (using a proxy service for potential prize shipping of course), or is it only available to residents living in Japan and would be void otherwise?

There's nothing on the page preventing you from winning this time, so give it a shot.

Which director in KyoAni/Do seems to have the strongest affinity with comedy?

I'd argue Eisaku Kawanami at Do.
While others can use comedy a lot in their shows, people like Ishihara and Yamada focus on drama. Ishidate is more associated with animation, as is Kigami. Takemoto is more cute boys and heartwarming than comedy, though he's decent at it.
Kawanami got his start as an episode director on the gag show Nichijou and was used for heavily comedic episodes like Tamako Market ep6. He's often used for more higher profile episodes like finales as he's good at maintaining the atmosphere as a work, but I tend to associate him with comedy more than anyone else.

What games do you find are more enjoyably to see sb else play, rather than play it yourself?

I can safely answer Sonic games now. I tried playing Sonic Generations on my PS3 a few weeks ago and was horrible at it. It just wasn't what I'm decent at playing, so I'd rather watch a speedrun/LP of it instead.

At live concerts, do you think that the crowd really getting into it, getting excited, helps create a positive feedback that can drive the performers to do even better?

It's one possibility. Equally possible is that the entertainers are having a bad day and just want to get it over with irregardless of the crowd reaction.
