i miss the flipnote days with my entire heart and soul
Hello
OH ITS SC6UT,,HI I LOVE UR EDITS!!!
Have you seen The June Archive?
Amazing video!
Lot of nostalgia and l sure won't stop animating on it anytime soon ❤
I'm glad to hear you're gonna keep at it!
ur cute
HI IM SUBBED TO YOUUU
Should I buy a DS just to screw around with it? maybe
totally didn't expect you here lol
does anyone else remember the manga series where you had to go through the flipnote frame by frame to read each panel...
All of the "NAMES Life" series with the MCR shirts, oh lord
I remember one that was basically Sword Art Online... or it just was that, I don't remember.
I remember one called Gravity and I feel like I found a video that goes through all the panels.
@@verity_amo Flipnote Katana? The one that was a collab with Trent and a few other creators if I remember right.
@@nemmiril that was probably it, though I can't remember any creators names for the life of me
Hi, I made Sudomemo. Wow, super cool to have a video about Flipnote... that doesn't gloss over Sudomemo! Haha. Here's some corrections, clarifications, and notes ESPECIALLY on the completeness of the archive and how much of an super-duper-zooper-awesometastic guy James is.
- Hatena Diary was closed and all of them migrated to new Hatena Blog blogs (the active blog service)
- It's pronounced Sudo-MEH-mo not Sudo-ME-mo
- Oh, we have all of the ones uploaded to FH, excluding any where people opted out of having them transferred to the Nintendo DSi library
- To my knowledge there was never a star mystery pack, rather, they were sold as "star boxes" and still are. You can get blue stars from the top four boxes, purple stars from the top three available for sale, with a guaranteed purple star in the top two IIRC. I've purchased all of the different boxes at least once. You can still get them here: www.hatena.ne.jp/shop/star
- Flipnote Studio's Japanese name is (literally) Moving Memo Pad/Ugoku Memo-chou/うごくメモ帳 but also known as Moving Notepad
- Similarly, Flipnote Hatena's was Ugomemo Hatena/うごメモはてな
- As far as I can tell, Gallery: Friends was closed as a precaution, I think as a PR move really, after the Swapnote incident. I've never run into any information about Flipnote Gallery: Friends being used in such a manner.
- There are remnants of the original design in the app, such as the calendar (to which you can associate Flipnotes) which really doesn't make sense for something meant for animation, but makes perfect sense if you consider the note taking use case
- To clarify, James' Playnote Studio is a viewer, not an editor.
- I and a couple of the others at both Sudomemo and Kaeru were also involved in the Flipnote Switch prank. It wasn't just James, but he ended up taking the fall for it as he was the one that posted it on Twitter. It wasn't meant to blow up in the way that it did; it was meant as something to prank our communities. We used our background knowledge of the way Nintendo and Hatena work to make it very convincing, down to CI-generated build numbers in the UI, font style and whatnot, even drawing some from Sudomemo's more-distinctive "sticker" styling, along with making original artwork for it.
- Furthermore, you have to understand that James has had an integral role in development for Flipnote-related things for years and years, including Sudomemo. He's an awesome dude and he didn't deserve the blowback.
- Hatena works with Nintendo a lot more than you might be aware of. However, Flipnote Hatena was very much a strategy to get new users for Hatena as well as a way to break into Western markets. It didn't really go as planned in terms of retention; and while they were at first planning to work with Nintendo for the 3DS release, things fell through for reasons that I'm aware of but can't disclose.
- Again: We have EVERY FLIPNOTE that was uploaded to both FH and FG:W (FG:W will not be publicly available, at least not at first). Unless someone explicitly opted out during the period prior to them being uploaded to the Nintendo DSi Library, which was not super common afaik, it's there.
- This has come at a great personal financial cost to me. Donations will be accepted at some point, but I've always been iffy and uncomfortable about asking for money so that's not really happening yet.
- You missed something right at the end ;) go to flipnote.hatena.com and look at the page source code and you'll find a special message from the developers. 🐸
Thanks so much for the awesome video
I could never thank you guys enough for creating the well of insperation that you did for me and loads others, all your efforts and atchivments are well more then appreciated
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I'm so excited that the full gallery of flipnotes will be available again. You guys are absolutely astounding.
What did the note from the developers say?
@@forlorn3778 you can look and see yourself!
Flipnote was honestly the biggest part of my childhood, i remember showing my friends the flipnotes i had on my DSi XL and their minds were blown when i showed them the stickfigure fights that they begged me to borrow my internet connection just to see hatena. After showing them how to connect to the internet and how to use the DSi Shop we would laugh our asses off at the hilarous flipnotes all evening and be impressed by some of the cool flipnotes, coming to my house on a friday evening after school viewing through hatena then going outside playing with nerf guns and watching the new episodes of Adventure time/ Regular Show/ Ninjago etc were some of the golden days, It was really sad when it shut down back in 2013 where i knew it was the end of an era especially since me and my friends started growing up, started new hobbies, moved and went on with our lives. and just thinkin about those memories as a kid makes me shed a tear today.
I know you can get flipnote on your 3ds using my nintendo rewards but it just isnt the same without hatena and the fact that the "Dsi Library" (basically any flipnotes originally on Hatena could be found there) was only up for a limited time just makes the app feel dead.
Also im surprised famous users like Gizmo, Mcboo Blitzman, Y-Dog, Axetoday, or Nico Blue weren't mentioned here.
Sorry about the long comment, i just wanted to share my nostalgic memory using Flipnote it was a big part of my life and bought me and my friends together to have a laugh. Amazing Video dude 👍
Oh man. Seeing all this stuff now really puts into perspective how the community was done dirty when it came to Flipnote 3D. They shut down hatena with the promise of a new online service and then just never gave it to us.
I'm so grateful for sudofox and the work he does for sudomemo and the flipnote archive. I would have lost a lot of my old work from back then.
I'm honestly so glad we have such a passionate little community. Let's keep our fingers crossed for that switch port! :")
What is switch port?? I'm curious ! 🤔 also do we have a discord for fellow hatenians?
@@Ginamations3267 I believe its called "wishful thinking."
The whole fact that you had to have a Club Nintendo account and there were specific times you could get it pissed me off too. I remember I had to grind Super Mario Run just to eventually get it
@@damian9303 i completely forgot that i had flipnote 3d on my 2ds. I grinded to get it around 2016 or 2017
Man.... this was a nostalgia trip. Flipnote & Hatena were the reason I got started as an animator and how i met so many friends I'm still best friends with nowadays.
Honestly same!!
Same here! İt's amazing that such solid friendships can come about from a tiny little ds app
I’d like to point out that Shoop da Woop originated from an old web animation called “The Laser Collection” that inspired stuff like asdfmovie and others. And “Elmo Knows Where You Live” originates from a Simpson episode in which he says the line to Homer because he owes them money and they threatened to kill them if they didn’t pay up.
Goddamn... I used to be terrified of the Elmo one...
Something I was surprised to see go unmentioned was that registration for flipnote hatena wasn't easy. I don't remember the exact details because my memory of those days is very hazy, but I remember that I was primarily stymied because you needed some kind of signed permission slip or something from your parents and middle schooler age me, who wouldn't even think of forging a signature, chalked that one up to be impossible since my parents generally didn't approve of either me or my sister being on social media/social game platforms back then. Does anyone remember more about this?
I think you’re right! This brought up a random memory from childhood that I completely forgot about when I made this, and if there’s a follow up to this video that will certainly be covered!
I remember asking my mother if she could help me sign up and while she said she would it never happened. I think I remembered it wanting the signed letter mailed with identifying details to my DSi that it gave though I might be wrong.
yeah I sadly did
Yeah, for whatever the process was, I didn't want to ask my parents for permission so I got my account through "hacking" someone else's and changing the password.
To whomever created the Hatena account with "password" as your username and password, hopefully you learned something about account security that day
@@31repeats That's a douche move right there. You just robbed someone's else account from a perfectly good service. Then again, who knows how much usage came from that user.
Flipnote Studio was such a huge part of my childhood, I barely see anyone talk about it. Seeing this video in my recommendations got me so excited! Flipnote got me into animation, and I can still hear that damn frog every now and again.
i think you sent me a reply on my comment and i think it got deleted for some reason but yeah, pretty cool that you have some of my flipnotes downloaded on your ds. And yes it's me the real Adison B) lol thanks for the reply it made me really happy :)
@@swagadison7802 Your art reminds me of the older animations!
Oh same flipnote has been such a huge part of my life from 2010 too
this makes me so happy, flipnote hatena meant so much to me!
Hey mysticat
Hi mysti
A Flipnote Smash stage would be amazing. They could even have a competition where fans can draw hazards for the stage. The only problem I can think of is if it suffers the same fate as Miiverse.
I'm super shocked there weren't any mentions of the "illegal" chat rooms or Hatena Relationships 😂
I'm the only person I know still dating the person they met on Hatena and spent most of my time in the chat rooms people would make, I genuinely thought it was more of a popular subject within Flipnote? Literally everyone I knew on there was dating someone and either chatting on Hatena flipnotes or over MSN
Fun trip down memory lane!
Dude, you made me dig-up some fossilized memories there. I remember someone made "DSiTube" that was this janky website full of gifs and a chatroom that I'd go there just to see what strangers were talking about.
Another one I remember had this super polished DSi menu look to it done in the web browser. It had a bunch of stuff in there like games and maybe a chat room. Though, I don't remember the details.
One more thing to add to the pile were story-time Flipnotes. Those were like the music Flipnotes where it was mostly a still image, but with stories from people. It almost felt like someone reading their diary in public. They weren't as popular, but were things I'd see on occasion.
Flipnote Studio was basically my childhood. I spent long hours working on Flipnotes and participating in the community till my departure due to trading in my DSi for a 3DS, telling everybody that I'll meet them in World... It never happened. Honestly, if it wasn't for Flipnote Studio, I would have never went into school for animation and game art and design. I miss this app terribly so. I got Flipnote Studios 3D immediately after it was announced as one of Club Nintendo's final rewards. That was a great nostalgic day.
Have you seen The June Archive?
Its so weird thinking about it now; but back then there was never really any remembrance on the community aspect of flipnote, because it was all so separated, of course you had the people who always dominated the popular pages, like Anthony, Squirt, Gizmo, BosS, there's so many names out there but there was also smaller-scale creators, groups, and drama that will likely never be resurfaced because we lost all contact with every flipnote and comment. I would PAY to see all the old chats I used to have with friends, I can't beleive its been more than 10 years already, I cherish these memories like it was yesterday.
god thinking about this period of my life makes me super emotional for some reason. somehow I still remember the first flipnotes I ever watched on hatena, I must have been like 8 years old lmao
Same dude, it was a better time back then, I would have been maybe 4-5?
One time I spent 2 hours reanimating a scene from The Spongebob Squarepants Movie, it was the scene where Spongebob and Patrick were in the Patty Wagon and those two people from the Gas Station were laughing at them. Good memories :) .
Funny enough, I was thinking about remaking the ENTIRE Spongebob Squarepants Movie, but all animated on Flipnote and then I saw this comment lol
I’m fairly sure that back in 2010 and 2011. Some channels were run by Flipnote creators. Any Flipnote creator with a bronze medal or higher could host a Flipnote channel. Sadly that ment that channels could either shut down, because they pulled the plug themselves or because they got (false) reported, though I’m not certain about the last.
For example back in late 2010, early 2011 you had the Black Eyed Peas channel. That channel was run by a popular European creator called Valentin Delattre. Some time in 2011, the channel suddenly was no more with zero announcement before or after it. It’s very likely the reason had something to do with Valentin moving on from them. Because the channel shut down more or less around the time Valentin stopped making Black Eyed Peas Flipnotes. This goes to show that I’m at least 90% sure some channels actually were user generated.
I miss those flipnotes where you can move layer 2 to interact with the story. I spent a lot of time playing with those.
When you see your own animations in this video 👀👀
Nice!
Ah, my childhood, back in 2011 I used to get so excited to go onto the hatena, it was very much like CZcams to me but solely animation.
I even made some flipnotes!
It was so sad to see it go during 2012 of February I think.
Insane to think about this being a decade old.
I think they shut it down because of the adults making adult oriented animations that WERENT for kids, I personally never saw much of anything graphic aside from battle scenes where they show blood but that’s not really the extent of what other people have seen on there.
I really feel like the hatena was like a red herring to how the internet was gonna be like in about 10 years.
Some of the jokes still land well to this day even.
Think about it, if we instantly had all this tech 10 years ago we would be feeling like we’re in the “future” compared to playing on a dsi xl which was considered premium quality high tech hardware.
Edit:
WHAT ITS BEEN REMADE BY A FAN?!?!?!
This is awesome.
Absolutely about to go watch about a hundred of em today.
flipnote hatena didn't shut down in 2012 it shut down may 31st 2013
This was a great video man, happy to see that someone still talks about flipnote and stuff. Also at 4:56 when you show the sudomemo front page, 3 of my flipnotes show up (my user name is Adison) and i find it really amazing how I am somewhat in this video it's pretty rad B) One of my favorite series from the OG flipnote hatena was stupid mario bros. Amazing video man keep up the good work!
Stupid Mario Bros was my favorite too. I had no idea anybody else remembered it!
Flip note definitely plated huge part of my childhood when it was active, so this is definitely giving me some flashbacks.
I have no idea who they are, but the person that made animations using Zangoose and Charizard characters were fuckin dope.
Epic and guitar? Those flipnotes were amazing
I miss Flipnotes. It was our personal youtube. The coolest thing about it was that the director did interviews with the creators about them including me.
19:10 AH DANG IF YOU HAD SCROLLED DOWN A BIT MORE MY SPACE FLIPNOTE WOULD'VE MADE A CAMEO
I never used flipnote and honestly it was a bit before my time but this video really puts it into perspective on how impactful it was
Oh and this was also just a great, unique iceberg video in general
If you mod a 3DS/DSi then you can install it for free, and change the wifi settings to access Sudomemo.
I remember recording clips from Red vs Blue and then poorly animating over them.
I really miss this app. Like you said, there's still Sudomemo, but it just wouldn't be the same for me. The childhood innocence that was a huge part of my experience during that time is just gone now as well.
Waah! I remember making mini games in flipnote. Wish you would have talked about those! Basically, you'd create a bunch of slides, each with their own game. As an actual animation, it would be literally a second long. The user would need to download your flipnote to actually go through the "games" themselves, which were all pretty simple. For example, find the needle in the haystack, dress-up games, mazes, shave the hair off the guy. Man!!!! I loved making those 😭 I may still have access to my old DSs at home, but if anyone can find "The Game" series by AST(E)ROID, that would be awesome 🥺
I believe I played those! I remember the game Flipnotes!
Omg there's an archive?!? That means I can look up all of my old flipnotes omg
...No idea what my username was back then, but I have discovered my new mission
GOOD LUCK!!!! :]
I was sorta expecting a few entries about the more popular creators like BosS, Fred and Gizmo. But you did shout out quite a few so that's cool!
What I really think needed a spot on the iceberg was chat rooms, flipnotes that would just be an mp3 and a lazy animation, but the purpose was for people to talk to each other via commenting. Hatena was where I first made online friends. I remember I would stay up talking to other kids, we'd compliment each other's animations, argue about anime dubs, complain about homework etc. While I dont talk to any of those friends today, some of them lasted years and were very important to me in a time where I struggled with irl friendships a lot.
Flipnote was very important to who I am both creatively and emotionally
OMG I remember Fred! I had a lot of his Flipnotes saved!
I still find it amazing how Nintendo was able to create a video sharing platform and animator on the DSi in 2008, and the fact that it got continued by fans. I still remember seeing my friend's cousin using Flipnote Studio and being amazed by it. And he didn't even show me Hatena.
Aaaaa the flipnote days were the best. Flipnote Hatena and Sudomemo were the biggest parts of my childhood. I met my now-closest friends on there. Crazy how huge of an impact things can have on someone.
Man, Flipnote Hatena was basically my first introduction to internet meme culture when I was 10-12 since my parents were a bit iffy about me browsing CZcams unsupervised back then
I primarily watched 2 creators back then, Jessikitty/LordBoop and EpicGuitar. Though it was sad when they were forcefully booted off of Hatena, they both moved on to other platforms over the years and it's been so cool seeing these people that I idolized as a kid change and find their own footing on the internet.
LordBoop has gone on to offer commissions for custom plushies. Meanwhile Guitar of EpicGuitar went on to become an artist, animator, and music creator known as PotooBrigham and Hoonose2009

Thank you so much for making this video! It was completely well made and organized and even after 10 years on the community you made me learn some new things
I miss Gizmo. I wish I knew if he became a CZcams animator or something
Gizmo now that's a name i haven't heard in a long time... Remember Epic & Guitar?
@Myles Fletcher he was the largest animator on Flipnote at the time
@Myles Fletcher I don't know that was over 10 years ago but he was the #1 creator. Look it up
Don't let "Buttnugget" die
I remember greeninja (I think that's their name) they animated great animes, but then they said they were gonna work on cosplay &start making youtube videos, I wish I knew what they were up to now n days too, do you guys remember her?(/them?)
I absolutely loved flipnote studio and sudomemo. I remember messing around on flipnote studio a lot when I was 3-5, and posting a bunch of flipnotes to sudomemo in 2019-2020
I remember there are users of this program recreating the full version of bad apple on it (no, its not 3 minutes, but the ones shown on alstromeria's concert/branches) and one of them is still in work in progress but it's so full of seizure and flashing lights because it's still in work in progress phase.
Ah, yes. Where my love for animation was born.
Man I remember being really scared of the Elmo flipnotes when I was young. 🤣
What was your favorite Flipnote back when the service was live?
i really like the one where this guy orders a taco at mcdondlds
Anything by K66Gunso was an immediate classic, everything they did was fire (and still on CZcams!)
A toss between one I saw of Ash singing Hey Soul Sister or one of Mario singing in autotune
I really loved the Mario autotune one definitely a gem!!^^
It was some weird random one that was like a trailer parody, I remember it faintly but one part I remember by heart was when the husband was like
Husband: Honey!
Wife: What?!
Husband: I'm Pregnant
Wife: *gasp* I'll go get the dentist *jumps out window*
Really well done. I can't believe I barely just got under surface when it came to Flipnote studio. It not being on the 3DS right off the bat was a major reason why I turned my back to it. I found Sudomemo a couple years back and it's nice to see it's still got a community going.
11:13 it’s really cool as a Nichijou fan to see a Misato Tachibana inspired Flipnote be used to promote Flipnote Studio in the west
Oh my. This takes me back to my childhood. I would always borrow my step-brother's DSI just to watch random videos of Flipnote Studio. Sad it is gone, I would love to download it on my 3DS.
Flipnote is a core part of my childhood. Hatena was my first experience with any sort of social media, I remember making friends there who I'll probably never talk to again 😭
Flipnote was my start in creating artwork. It helped me grow as an artist when I was a kid, and I’ll forever be grateful for it. I also will always feel bittersweet about how it ended due to so much of my old artwork forever being lost due to the site shutting down. I do hope that maybe one day I’ll be able to see it again. But for now, I just have the memories.
Great video! Thank you for giving me a trip down nostalgic lane ☺️
As a huge Flipnote fan, this makes me super happy to see the app get some love it deserves. Also, I had no idea the Flipnote 3D anime existed, so I’m gonna watch that right away! Thank you for making such an awesome vid!
I have to thank you man I honestly thought flip note was totally dead and I actually had no hope left. But seeing sudomemo and joining their discord I honestly felt somewhat relieved that not everything is gone. Honestly it just brings a little comfort you know. Thanks again!
amazing video, rlly took me back to the years of doodling random stories on there and watching funny skits and amvs :') flipnote in most ways inspired me to learn how to drawn and come up with stories on my own
I didn’t think anyone would make a video on Flipnote. Let alone an Iceberg one. Thank you, so much. This is amazing.
Thank you SO much for this video!!! I had no idea about the sudomemo site, im so happy to see it exists and ive desperately missed hatena, it had a huge effect on my life (positively) I actually had the most popular adventure time channel for awhile when that show first started making rounds!!
I've been using Sudomemo since 2020 and from my experience it's got a very significant weeb/furry userbase, but I guess that's pretty understandable since they are generally not the most respected types of people on the internet so they seek refuge in the lesser known social sites.
I WANT FLIPNOTE BACK 😭😭😭
I'm redownloading Flipnote due to the 3ds eshop closing next year and I'm just now getting this video reccomended to me.
Great video!
I did a couple of stick figure videos when I had my ds. Flipnote was a huge part of my childhood. It's what Kick started me to do animations.
The fact we might never see flipnote ever again is just depressing for me.
This video brought back so many Memories both good and bad.
Keep up the good work
I will never understand how people draw on Flipnote so perfectly
Yeah! My old Flipnotes were EXTREMELY cringe! 😂
Thanks for the nostalgia trip, mate.
As a kid my folks wouldn't let me on CZcams and when I got a DSi and first found Flipnote Hatena, that was the perfect loophole. I spent so many hours eating up all the content on that site and fucking around with my brother making Flipnotes (though I never posted them because young me was too afraid to make an account).
I still have a bunch of Flipnotes saved to an old SD card somewhere in my house. If I can find it, I might try looking through it sometime. Hell, maybe I'll even have some things to donate to the archives.
Same! Loved Flipnote Hatena! My flips were so bad though lol
I'm glad this got recommended to me, I felt so much nostalgia. Even though by the time I started using flipnote, hatena wasn't available, I'm glad I got to use it on my dsi and found my love for animation! If it weren't for that, I'd probably not have a channel nor the animation skills I now have after using flipnote for over a year, I still watch flipnote compilations and get amazed by the complexity some have that I could never do! This was a great video and I will make sure to take a look at the rest of your channel! :D
Just subscribed to you. I'm also an animator from flipnote
@@Ginamations3267 ooo a fellow flipnote animator, nice to meet you! Also thank you! :D
@@Foxotino yep! Do you have a 3ds?
@@Ginamations3267 no I don't, just the good ol' dsi lol
it's been so long since I've heard that little frog! thanks for posting the link to sudomemo! i'll definitely be checking it out!
You forgot about the Chris Chan flip notes.
In a nutshell (NSFW):
Chris tried to upload an animation of his wet dream (Romantic Labyrinth) but it got pulled from Flipnote *FOUR* times. He kept reuploading it with subtle things changed, like the characters now wearing clothes, and he eventually got banned from Flipnote lol
What a weirdo
Me or him 😂
I1m so glad I found your channel! I love iceberg videos, and the ones you make are really well made.
the Flipnote Hatena creator i remember the most by far is Boss. Their stick fight animations were incredible and they were an integral step in the rise of that genre of flipnotes
I’ve been waiting for an iceberg based on Flipnote studio. Great work my dude B)
Thank you for this video ! It was so cool to relive Flipnote, I really like how you presented info and your editing. Deffos subbing, looking forward to your future stuff !
I was involved with Hatena’s sprite based community. I had meet some amazing friends through that side of Hatena. We were undoubtedly the most productive members of it. Creating and sharing our sprites and making these pixel animations together was some of the most fun I’ve had in my life.
I only wish I spent more time doing regular animation, because I was far better at it than I realized. Good memories.
criminally underrated, great video and editing !
I miss AriCat, EpicGuitar, and H@ilfire. There are more but these artists helped me develop my art style. I hope that they’re still creating to this day
YES I loved their flipnotes as a kid!!!! Can’t forget Chirin and PeaceWolf either
Man I am so thankful for this, Flipnote Hatena was a huge part of my teenage years and seeing people still care is great :')
love the video! this was a big refresher for me; i was super active on flipnote hatena as a kid, haha. i'm surprise the iceberg doesn't go into detail about, like, the spinoff controversy-- the phenomenon of people saving and stealing other peoples flipnotes, and the purple "spinoff" icon that eventually was added to let people know when a flipnote was based off one saved from online.
this channel deserves more attention! i subbed and shared with my discord server of 700+ people!
I remember talking to Austin on Skype a bunch a while back, through the since-defunct Sudomemo Minecraft server I was a mod on. I've since stopped talking to most of the people from there-including Austin-but I've met two of my best friends through there :]
This was very interesting, I used Flipnote since 2009 and didn't know some of the stuff like Flipnote Warriors. Great video btw!
thank you for making this it was a huge part of my childhood i remember watching them all day
I loved FlipNote Studio so much I got FlipNote Studio 3D using that downloadable code that used to be on My Nintendo. I even successfully emulated on a frickin MAC of all computers using Citra. FlipNotes are forever a deep ingrained memory I will forever cherish. ALSO THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!!
Damn, watching this video gave me huge amounts of nostalgia. Awesome vid!
I'm glad that this video was posted recently so I can comment that,
*Y Dash's* Flipnote Mario series is my absolute favorite Mario animation series. I'm just so sad that it's been discontinued.
DUDE FLIPNOTE ICEBERG!?!?!? YES LETS GO B)
lol adison

I remember so much of these. It makes me so happy to see this after so long.
Aww this really brought me back to those good ol days!! Question for everyone: does anyone remember "memes" on Flipnote? I ask because I genuinely could never figure out why they were called memes. So for the uninitiated, the "memes" on Flipnote were basically quizzes that people could then fill out and spin off, and I never could understand why it became known as "memes" when it couldn't really be anything further from the truth. Hopefully someone at least remembers this too and I'm not just crazy haha.
They were using the original definition of meme, which is basically anything that is spread/repeated through a community or society, as do memes in the modern sense of the word
My only DS I ever bought was a 3DS XL, and I never used Flipnote.. thanks for learning me somethin, I loved this vid and I’ll definitely keep checkin ya out!!🔥🔥
This video made my day, I have such fond memories for Flipnote Studio and Hatena, and I'm happy to see it get recognition over a decade later.
And thanks for spreading the word of sudomemo, here's hoping this video helps the site grow even more!
Also here's a bonus entry that wasn't on the iceberg:
In 2011, as an initiative for relief after the huge earthquake and tsunamis in Japan, Flipnote Hatena started a "Smile for Japan" project on the service. It added a category for people to post flipnotes to, and I recall a lot of really positive and heartwarming flipnotes were posted there. Unfortunately, I can't find it anywhere, but I remember there was a logo for the project that was the Japan flag with a white smiley face in the center of the red circle.
I use to use flipnotes hatena on my orginal dsi when I was a little guy, it sparked my curiosity and desire for illustrations, until a misshap led to my dsi never working again, for a reason Iv still never found out
So years latter when I got a new dsi, I was thrilled to find out that they had created sudomemo, for years it felt a lot like a home away from home that I was more cozy in, the creations were nice, the people were nice, I was never board, and I dident think anything could replace it
One thing I never realized growing up is just how much it took to keep it all going, being able to understand that now, after I (currently) am incapable of accessing it (Dsi has been working for years, after 13 it reaches the end of its journey) I have to appreciate what Austin buck and the others put forth for others
This was really well made! I love it :)
I first began animating in Flipnote Studio, then stopped for years once my DSi XL died (I couldn't get Flipnote 3D). My original characters (featured in comics I created in Flipnote Studio) now exist in stories I write. As for animations, I now make Minecraft animations in Blender. It's fun.
oh my god. the mario drawing song just pops up in my head randomly even after all these years. its surreal seeing it acknowledged
I remember feeling so proud when one of my Flipnotes made the front page lol. I mainly reanimated asdfmovie and Family Guy clips, but it still makes me sad that I probably will never see my old animations again.
While I never had a DSI to use flipnote, the animations that were uploaded on CZcams are a big part of my childhood. The app and animations definitely inspired me to try digital art and animation as a kid. It also got me into the art and animation community on CZcams.
Love This Iceberg! RIP Flipnote Studio Hatena (2008-2013)
If I hadn't watched this I wouldn't have seen the archive and found my old flipnotes. Thank you
I haven’t even started the video yet and I want to thank you this exists. Hatena was a major portion of my early teen life and the fact that barely a whisper of it is available leaves a big empty feeling. I’ll post an update once I finish the vid!
This is the very first time I've ever heard about Sudomemo. I'm actually about to cry. WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE?!
The shallow waters brings back really good memories
Good video I loved it and seeing all the old flipnotes I since loved as a kid and still do
Hatena seemed pretty cool. Glad we got Sudomemo
Flipnote Hatena had a very large impact on me honestly. I mainly watched the AMVs of like Warrior Cats or some kinda anthro OCs or wahtever. I had to go to my moms work or my cousins house to watch them since we didnt really have internet at home. They had a huge impact on me. Mainly in my music taste with a large part it still being that early 2000s edgy boy type music. It also probs lead to me also becoming a furry because i really liked the art on there. I may even do a video on Flipnote one day. Idk it had a huge impact on me even though i was a bit late to the party
You should check our Ami or amayah katsumi she did warrior cat role plays and she also was very popular with her flipnotes I'll get her youtube here soon. She's still making animations and warrior cats mvs. Her name is ami
@@Ginamations3267 yo same but it got me more into punk not becoming a furry bc I'm not into gay stuff
Yo thank you i spent so long watching warrior cats amvs.
Flipnote and Hatena did a lot for us who were passionate about being creative and gave us an early start and direction to the career paths we've headed onto. Even people I still keep in contact with from the Hatena days who don't create art anymore still credit our time there as being the perfect stomping ground to help us all grow. While I'm not as active in animation as I once was when originally on the site, it kickstarted my career path of being a professional newspaper cartoonist, and the main characters of my comic strip originally debuted on Hatena back in 2008.
So Flipnote never really leaves any of our hearts.
just the opening, just the opening, it was enough to just make me feel young again, I feel like tearing up after seeing those flips, I miss Flipnote
I remember watching so much Flipnotes on Flipnote Hatena with my best friend in grade school. Many years later when i found out about Suddomemo, I was overjoyed!
I loved Flipnote so much, and still quote that "I ain't got no iPhone" song to this day but I hate my life and I wanna die, but it has nothing to do with not owning an iPhone.
Also, I adore that the inbetween of layers is the Flipnote loading sound
