Alright gang…
HOLY SHIT. It’s been a week.
Time flies when you’re trapped in Photoshop making 900 thumbnail variations eeeeeeeeeee.
But here we are — our first post-episode release update!
🐇 if you havent seen the episode btw here it is! 🐇

First off: thank you.
Thank you for watching, supporting, commenting, uoooh-ing and carrying us so we could deliver this episode 🙏😭
I know we went a bit quiet after the drop! We were suffering from the classic post-launch crash! So thank you for sticking with me through the slump. BUT In the spirit of not being a mysterious creator who disappears into the void for 2 months…
I’m taking the rest of this weekend to breathe, reset, and check in with you guys! Then from Monday onward, we’re back on regular production updates.
And now that EP3 and EP4 are DONE, I want to finally show you all the cool stuff you haven't seen yet — storyboards, animatics, concept art, character sheets, background drafts, all the production materials we have been sat on for like years!
We also have two potential external projects cooking with good friends of ours.(They’re pretttty cooool. You’ll find out soon… if we get the job lol.)
NEXT PROJECT: Otachan! — Call to Action 🚨✨
Now that Ep2 is behind us, we’re diving straight into the next Otachan project, internally titled:
✨ Otachan! – Call to Action Project ✨
Yep, we're marketing geniuses, I know - this is something we have been meaning to do for a while and now is the time to do it! Sandwiched nicely between EP3-EP4 and EP5-EP6. We will keep you guys updated as it progresses!
H-Tier Patrons: IT’S TIME. 🧸💖
For all my former H-Tier comrades…We’re starting some PLUSHIE DESIGN.
Since we no longer do the ahem spicy stuff, it felt right to revive your exclusive merch perk instead! Expect sketches, samples, timelines, and behind-the-scenes updates very soon.
FREE TIER GANG — I SEE YOU TOO 👀
I know it’s been quiet here since we ended the H-Tier era…BUT now that things have freed up, I want to start cooking again.
The urge to make a new visual novel demo…It’s strong. It’s powerful. So maybe i will give in!
(BUT in the meantime we do have a permenant discord server if you upgrade to any of the paid tiers you'll be in)
So what now?⏱️
Honestly?
It’s lock-in time.
We’ve got 3 really fun projects on the horizon, and our job is just to enjoy them and do them to the best of our little indie-anime abilities.
After every episode release I always get the itch to break out and do random passion stuff like:
4-koma manga
Maso Trainer
Discord Girls
YouTube short animations
H-Tier-style illustrations (safe for work though lol)
Bonus Otachan Show content
More VN experiments
And don’t worry — we will get to all of that.
But for now, the best move is to stay calm, stay focused, and knock out the jobs we’ve already lined up - in my experienced as a failed YouTuber, all the fun extras aren’t going anywhere and they will have their time when its right.
But for now! Thank you again, gang.
No matter your tier, your support genuinely keeps this whole operation alive.You keep me motivated, you keep the team fed, and you keep this weird little garage anime dream moving forward.
Gang gang gang.— Yusef & the OtakuVersus Team 🐇📼💥
