A conclusion finally comes to the Octocat saga.

With the release of Octocat 5, the last episode, it became impossible to hide I was behind it.

First of all, I’d like to thank everyone who made video responses and fan art. It’s been amazing to see this kind of reaction to my animation and it’s really humbling. I will collect and post everything over here, though it truly deserves it’s own site. Feel free to send anything I missed to octocat (at) davidoreilly.com

I hope none of you are disappointed that there’s no 9-year-old kid in Chicago named Randy Peters. I think the last episode should make up for any bad feeling. I wanted it to have such an ending because you all had so much invested in this.

Many of you are expecting the 18 disc Blu-Ray Octocat box set. It’s not quite ready yet, so for the moment I’ve uploaded a high-definition version of all the episodes back-to-back. The last episode can now be seen in it’s full quality.

I’m sure I’ll be accused of misleading people again, but I won’t apologize for that. Why? Because you’ve all proved one vitally important point: audiences don’t need polished, slick animation to find a story engaging. They are happy to follow the worst animated, worst designed and worst dubbed film of all time, and still laugh and cry and do all the things you do watching a so-called “high end” film. Its amazing, I’ve never been so excited about independent animation.

Octocat’s journey on Youtube has officially ended, but who knows what the future will hold for him.
