yes, really!! (well, almost. i'll explain at the end of the thread but the project is almost complete but i have to take a break. again, i'll explain later.)
since that faithful august of earlier this year when a good handful of CN's shows were booted off of HBO max (including our beloved show) i started racking my brain around the physical media of shows n stuff. this isn't the first time i've thought about the topic to some extent since i liked reading about really old movies and lost media, but considering what was happening at warner bros for the past few months for such recent media i got super worried how that actually might be the reality of the show. though technically it thankfully still had another way to be stream thru hulu and it has some dvd releases..
..very limited dvd releases. there's the one that contains some season one episodes from 2017 and later a set that contained the entire first season in 2019 (tho it's exclusive to australia.) as good of a start that was, it's still pretty limited: that handful from the first set was only 20 or so episodes and i couldn't get the other set since i needed a region-free player to use it which i do have (not to mention how the former (/ both?) wasn't available to be purchased from amazon starting sometime in sept-oct, but i think it's been brought back now) overall kinda depressing now and* in retrospect.
HOWEVER! nearly 4 months later i can now say that i've put all of OK KO onto a dvd set!! the entire thing!!
i was originally gonna make a long tumblr post abt my learning experience making this but i feel like this forum would be a better pick (but plz let me know if this isn't the right place for this thread!!)

to start here's the box itself!! i was able to make it with some cardboard and paints i had around already plus some images i printed out at my school, including the boxmore bot decals and an edited version of the show's logo with a new tagline under it
also if it wasnt obvious the box is based on the boxmor boxes from the show, mainly because i thought that'd be funny Attachments:

the dvd covers are also handmade!! again printed from school with some dvd covers i found in my basement it ended up looking really good (ever if the covers were a bit beaten up.) the disc's label were actually printed from a print shop nearby (since my school was probably done with my printing bs lolz) and they ended up looking really professional!!

aaand here's the menus!! again all made in ibis paint and exported as this really meaty PSD file so i can get everything. again its all based on official dvds so the menu is functionally barebones, theres one main menu with play all that..plays all, an episode selection menu, and a setup menu that can enable or disable subtitles (which was provided by CTOON, aka the lovley folks that host the okko.fun website!! i def wouldn't of gotten as far without em :-])
also when you put in the disc the first thing is a message about how the disc is unofficial and was just a fan made project. it specifically reads: "This disc is NOT an official release by Warner Home Media or it's affiliates. Although mean to mimic the look of an official release, this was not made for piracy or to be profited on. It was made for the sake of preserving modern media in a physical format and is only intended for personal and private viewings."

so originally i was hoping to finish this project by christmas because once i got everything together i could just swap out everything for each disc and burn from there, which was the case for the first 4 volumes. but by volume 5 i ran into a few troubles out of nowhere and i had to redo my setup 2 times plus a lot of other tedious editing to make that work and now im running into similar issues for the 6th (which btw are the 2nd half of season two and the entirety of season 3 repectfully) i was so close to the finish line but it felt like i was being stopped in my tracks for kinda stupid reasons that i still dont have a why to
and an internet search couldn't help me either, for you see the program i was using doesnt exist anyone; adobe encore. i wouldve done any other program if possible but every other program out there was limiting my original vision and just wouldn't cut it, and even then i had to jump sone hoops to get (worst case scenario i now know what a torrent is and how the ⛵️🏴☠️ works ) and again i had no problems up until this point so i dont think its a puracy problem. the point is im very tired and i will be taking a break from this for now just to clear my head. it is almost done as i just need to burn season 3 and what'll be on the bonus disc but i have everything to do that whenever i have the strength to pick it up again. so far im more than satisfied with my results and i cant wait to finish this project. if anyone wants anything to ask or know i'd be more than happy to share. happy holidays and have a great new year!!!
also did i mention i hate that adobe's the industry standard? cause fuck em

This looks absolutely amazing! You've put so much incredible effort into this!
Especially from a graphic design perspective, as someone who's about a year off from getting a BFA in it. I'd even (a little enviously lol) call it portfolio worthy if you can find the legal loopholes.
I think the ONE THING would be is if each front cover was unique, but I do not blame you if you decided not to go with it.

aw thank you!!! that actually means a lot, i appreciate it!!! :-D and i actually tried that early on!! but i wasnt sure how to approach it since there's only two official posters or if there's enough high-res renders of the main trio for all seven volume, so i just settled on using a similar one with different color coding & text ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is amazing!! Making it look like the Boxmore box is such a perfect idea, and all the work you put into the details really paid off! I wish this were an official product!!
