people don’t talk about the 2010s relic that is flipnote dude. the music, the culture, and the popular art styles used in flipnote brings me so much happiness and nostalgia
sadly flipnote will probably never be re released after how flipnote 3d went.
This is how I find out the Flipnote Archive was finally hosted online 10 years later... I found my old profile and I think I'm having an allergic reaction to my old flipnotes. I am cringe, yet I am free.
SAMEEE! I can’t even remember my old name, so I can’t find mine, but I do have access to my old SD card so I have flip notes downloaded still.
Such a mood. So much emo cringe on my channel lol.
This was such a fun video, It was nice going down memory lane but watching the flipnotes you’ve created at the end was the best, Justin Bieber hate was at an all time high back then 😭
I was a big supporter of the Justin Bieber hate. He gave kids a reason to pick on me rip.
Heya, sudomemo designer here! Liked the simple editing with no real flashy effects. Helps to connect more with the content and your feelings and thoughts in general. Glad you took a deeper look into Sudomemo than some content creators I've seen talk about it too, they barely scratch the surface and or misinterpret features.
Added some stars :)
Hi Mayro

OMG MAYRO HI
ur the guy i appealed my ban to like 6 years ago
Ahh, the nostalgia… I remember trading in my DSLite to get a DSi specifically because I wanted to use flipnote studio. Something you didn’t mention in your video but I ended up deeply involved in were flipnote rps! You treated each frame of the flipnote like a panel of a visual novel and would add to it by making spinoffs with your rp partner. It was dragon angst all the way down but also the birth of my love of storytelling, good times.
I remember that Hatena was the first "music streaming" thing I ever got into and using it as a way to listen to pop songs that were uploaded onto Hatena
YUUUUP!!! 100% reason I knew so much music
You created your channel in January 2010 and uploaded your very first video in February 2023. To me that's just cool as hell since I've always wanted to do something similar.
im a simple woman, i see someone talk about flipnote and i subscribe. having grown to be an artist i think flipnote hatena is half of what made me who i am today, i didnt know how to use deviantart as a kid and didnt always have access to a computer, on top of that i found drawing with a mouse really annoying and hard, the fandoms and all the stuff that people would find via deviantart or other sites i found via flipnote, thats probably where i made my first fursona tbh
one thing i was expecting you to mention when you talked about hatena being used as a social media platform was the "am i h0t" flipnotes lol (tbh idk if yt will hide my comment for that) where people would post their selfies with this thing and ask that, i always thought that was weird and i remember this one all star hatena parody that mentioned those in the lyrics, ive not been able to find the flipnote but it went like "hey now, youre an artist" or smth, im sure itll unlock some more memories if i find it lol
i discovered sudomemo and the community many years ago i even talked to the owner at some point when he had just gotten the servers with the flipnotes but forgor about the archive project for many years until you brought it up here, im glad its finally up and running. i couldnt find myself, i think the search feature is a bit broken (going through the pages many users would repeat) but im glad its functional enough, i was able to find two of my favorite creators whose flipnotes werent all that well archived on youtube, and being able to see all this extra info like their alt usernames makes search so much easier, this archive goes above and beyond, thank you so much for the reminder hehe, honestly didnt expect to find people like keke over there, hes famous for his flipnotes but i had just assumed he never used hatena bc i dont remember him from back in the day
yet another thing i was expecting to see u mention was how there were these adopt flipnotes where you could adopt ocs with stars or open ended flipnotes for others to spin off their continuations and contests and oh jeez im sure the types of flipnotes could be a full video of its own
ANYWAYS thank you for this video, admittedly ive not watched that many videos about the history of the app so this unlocked some memories ty ty
When I was in the 7th grade, I had a friend group on Hatena where we’d all draw our OC’s in a “chat room” flipnote, which someone in our group would make daily. We’d leave thousands of comments just drawing & talking. Some of my friends in that crew were AMAZING animators - a bit older than me. No-one, Paul, Drak, Mellow, SoraCat. Mannn those were the days.
Oh hey, I used to be in a chat room on there too with Mellow and No-One too HAHA!
@@sourbunbun whaaaaaa
@@mellowvision I wonder if we interacted with each other back then? That would be wild!
There's a niche of people who never forgot Flipnote while not necessarily have been in the community : unsurprinsingly, animation students. It might even have been the foundation of our vocation for some of us. Honestly it's quite a good interface for animating, and there's great artwork out there. I still have my DS, this video made me want to open the app again :)
Flipnote was such a major part of my tween years, I remember logging on daily and just watching for hours and making flips of my own but never uploading. Flipnote was one of my first major introductions to fanfics as well (I’d always read the 1D ones). I’m so glad you mentioned the archives, I didn’t know it existed and i’ll be happy to look up and rewatch some of my favorite creators again ❤️❤️❤️
flipnote hatena is such a huge part of my childhood. i spent countless hours on it as a kid and i will forever miss it. i even emailed nintendo about its end of service, i was heartbroken
Flipnote was my first real interaction with the internet (i grew up in the middle of no where that still has horrible connection) The only animation I attempted was a kid bouncing a ball. Mostly I created picture books and watched others amazing music videos. I miss flipnote.
Omg I used to use flip note hatena religiously when I was younger. I used to be addicted to different series people would draw, mainly ones that utilised this particular anime template that was super popular in the genre. I’ve tried to find them again but haven’t been successful haha. The shutdown of hatena was sooo devastating to me
Omfg I used to watch these so much! They were like lil drama series, typically school ones, where people would just use the same anime template for every character and write text next to it. Wish there was a way to find some of these again
What Nintendo did to the potential of this app is unforgivable in so many ways… that, and making me wait five years for an empty promise 😢😢😢😢
I'm so down for these deep dives into niche nostalgic topics. Really really solid first upload and definitely subscribed to see what you'll put out next. Also love your hair!
Flipnote Hatena made such an impact of the course of my life, and I really wouldn't be the same person without it. I started animating because of it, as well as taking art more seriously. If it didn't exist, I would have never found EpicGuitars animations and realise animating was something you could do!
I plan to get back to creating animations soon (Took a break because of carpal tunnel) as it's something I miss so dearly, maybe one day \I'll have my own show, either way, it's all thanks to Flipnote Hatena :)))
If you know of the animation meme community on youtube, it was a rudimentary version of that where you would try and get popular but there were somehow giants like Gizmo and Guitar. There were a lot of audios that were ingrained into my brain where when I hear it now I can visualize the animations perfectly. Hatena got shut down and everyone was devastated, until we moved to Sudomemo where a decent amount of people moved but a lot of popular animators petered off. Guitar has a youtube channel now but I can't remember what it was, they used to animate their Pokémon personas and frequently get on the front page. Seeing your "I'm back" thumbnail made me laugh because we were all under or around 15 and treated putting flipnotes up like a job.
Also, there wasn't a lot of controversy in the community, the most anyone ever criticized was copying a popular user's art style.
My core memory regarding flip note was getting a red DSi with it pre-installed on Christmas, my sister wanting one too because of flip note, buying a different version and not being able to find it on the DSi ware store, and not talking to me for months because I had "a special DSi". For years I thought I was the only one with this mysterious software
I was immediatly gonna check out your other videos and whaaaaat? Please more obscure retro gaming content 😄
re: chat rooms, Oh the stories I could tell... I met some of my first online friends through Hatena. Spent so much of my formative years there. I was even acquainted with some of the popular creators you mentioned here. Good video, you went into a lot of stuff people gloss over when talking about flipnote- most videos i've seen just give a vague overview of what hatena was, you actually talked about the culture and popular memes etc.
Thank you for covering this! I was obsessed with things like flipnote studio as a kid but no one ever seems to bring it up. After it died, to fill the void i pretty religiously used disney create which shut down as well not too long after
Thank you for making this video! It brings back soooo many good memories!!
Flipnote Hatena was a HUGE part of my childhood, it taught me to love art & animation as much as I do! Growing up I had motor skills issues (ADHD) as well and my writing was barely legible... but I used to stay up late on those "chatroom flipnotes" with friends and just handwrite and doodle all night lol. Really have a lot to thank for that app. Great video, looking forward to more of these!
And... shoutout to my fellow Irken invaders from Hatena, it was nice rping with all of you guys throughout the years :)
Hey just so you know if you want to make your videos look like you are not reading a the text you have written try putting your script stightly above the camera make it as horizontal as possible. That way your sight line is more alligned with the camera and looking from left to right makes it more natural that looking downward. Great video though!
Thank you for stating Sudo was working on an archive page, I didn’t hear about this until now! This was such a good video, I thought I knew everything about flipnote but this video proved me otherwise, the inner child in me is happy. Thank you
This was a great first video, can’t wait to see what the future holds for your channel.
I got my DSI for Christmas in 2009 when I was 12. the next month I was turning 13. I remember being so amazed by these little filpnotes when I was younger. I specifically this Twilight one to the song A thousand years by Christina Perri . I just turned 26 in Jan of this yr and nostalgia has been hitting me really hard now that I'm in my mid 20s. Thank you for this. P.s. if anybody can find that specific Twilight one for me I would love you.
God, what a fond memory to relive. I was never good at animating, but I spent hours just browsing & admiring all the creative and fun flip notes people would make! I’m glad to see it’s legacy lives on with an archive. I wish I could remember what my username was but that’s next to impossible at this point. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to make a video on it!
I hope you post more, I was genuinely shocked to find out this was your only video!
Ah man I miss flipnote Hatena. I really give it credit for where I started on my art journey. Granted all I did back in the day was Edit Me Chains but yeah such nostalgia
I love you for telling me all about this, im rediscovering my flipnote days since i long lost all my saved flipnotes
The "you're the apple to my pie, you're the straw to my berry" song was my go to and I wish I could go back and see mine.
this was an incredible video!! thank you so much for covering such a fun lil piece of online history that honestly isn't at all talked about enough!!!!! i would be NOTHING without flipnote no joke, the music i discovered and friends i made are things that have stuck with me for over a decade at this point and really pushed me in a direction i probably wouldn't have found otherwise
(also i can't believe i missed the fact that the archive exists up and running, just spent a solid three hours looking through all of mine and a bunch of my friends' flipnotes feeling old and nostalgic and all that)
i cannot believe we both found this and commented on this HIIII HAHAHAH
Thank you UA-cam recommendations for sending me here. Fantastic video
Really loved this video, looking forward to whatever you do next on this channel!! Flipnote was my Tumblr, it was such a core part of my childhood. It was also the first digital art program I really got into, and now I'm a digital artist!
I'm so upset this is your only video right now! Your voice and delivery are so good and once I got to the end I wanted to watch more of your stuff. I love me a nostalgic deep dive so I'm definitely subscribing to see what you cover next!
Now there's a new video!
See, all the inappropriate and insane shit was in the handwritten fan fiction- which imo was a HUGE part of Hatena (for some reason).
I think it was a mix of teens not having access to fanfic sites because of their parents and people who liked to mix art with their fics. I’m sure some just liked the format.
THE ONE DIRECTION FANFICTION 😭😭😭
@@saintnicole3209 bruh I have an SD card absolutely filled with One Direction Flipnote fanfiction- I feel so seen XD
I’m glad your first video blew up, makes me happy seeing people try new things and it working!
15:12 Well, thanks, I’m about to back-up all my Flipnotes on my laptop. Now I’m scared I’ll place the SD-card wrong and lose all my Flipnotes. For context, I never uploaded a single Flipnote to Hatena, so if I lose my Flipnotes the archive won’t help a bit.
the lil anecdote about loving to fill out questionnaires I can absolutely relate to. paperwork where I don't have to think about all the answers? honestly relaxing
This was great. Kurtis Connor who??? Excited to see what video you'll make next!!
I watched this video from start to finish. Good job tiny microphone lady!
such a nostalgia trip, i was never good at making anything but i enjoyued the work people put into this things, it was so breathtaking to see the talent some people had, thanks for letting me know there's a place were i can go re live my teen years c:
I went to your channel to see your other videos to watch them and then i realized this is your only video! This is super well-made for a first video, and i hope you continue making more content! :D
i remember staying up late at night on my dsi as a kid browsing flipnotes and playing games on the dsi web browser on sites like dsicade and dsi paint
Something I'd love to see from you is a video about Miitomo, Nintendo's "social media" with Mii characters. I have fond memories of sharing opinions and engaging in discussions with other users all while I was collecting clothing and wallpapers for my Mii.
that intro literally sent chills down my spine 😭 the amount of fanfiction i drew on this app as a little 10 year old was sad 🤣
omg i had no idea the archive was live!!! its wild seeing all my old stuff, though i remembered them being better than they actually were
Love the video! I remember not understanding how animation worked and making random drawings between the pages, resulting in a mess of shots between mario, link, and bowser. Subscribed and cannot wait to see what else you create! :)
Not 5 seconds into this video but i want you to know that i LOVE flipnote so much, because theres an animation my best friend made to a song we loved as a joke on it. Flipnote is such a good memory
OMG FINALLY SOMEONES TALKING ABT FLIPNOTE YESSSSS
whoa a brand new channel! first video about a topic near and dear to my heart.. i was also into hetalia back in 2010 lol
one type of flipnote i remember stumbling on was roleplay flipnotes. generally between two users, theyd just publish, download, add a reply, publish, repeat.
when things got a bit.... "graphic", the user would "censor" it with a colour on a higher layer. whether the artist actually drew what was under varied. those rp flipnotes always got a curious amount of downloads too lol. never saw anything traumatising though, thankfully. love flipnote. ❤
Oh my GOD I loooooved RP flip notes!! I totally forgot about that aspect
Oh wow, glad I got this on my recommended feed! I didn't have a DSi at the time so I had to make animations through my cousin's DSi. I was hoping maybe one day to get a later DS just to access the Flipnote app, so imagine my disappointment when I got a 3DS and there was no Flipnote app :') I loved how simple the app was and it got me to get into animating just a little bit. Glad to hear there are other ways to view flipnotes! I'm so happy ;_;
I remember just finding it once when I was pretty young, my first ever flipnote I watched as a Welcome to the Club AMV, it's my personal favorite song because when I was young I generally took it as a welcome to the Flipnote Hatena Community, despite I wasn't able to have an account to upload my own flipnotes.
I did find it on the archive the song and exact edit and it made my day
Love videos of this format. I put so much time into flipnote back in the day. Looking forward to hopefully future videos from you! ☺
PLEASE POST MORE, IM SO GLAD YOU SHOWED UP IN MY RECOMMENDED!!!!!
I made sure to order a 3DS SOLELY to get my hands on Hatena3D, selling what little as had as a 14 year old - only to find out there was no online service. Probably the most disappointment I was as a child. That being said, I still use Flipnote and Flipnote 3D to this day. There is no other on the go animation app like it.
My cousin made a flipnote of a stick guy getting ran over, dubbed over with his voice saying "Running on the street, runnning on the street! AAH! HELP ME! HELP ME!!"
I didn't realize that he made it until years later and would spend hours googling things like "running on the street flipnote" haha
Thank you for sharing this video! I was able to show my twin this archive and reminisce about flipnote. They had some flipnote fame in Europe so its been amazing to view this again
i'd never even heard of hatena before this video but i still cried a lil when you talked about the project to preserve them all
Wow, I just expected that you were probably an established youtuber, and was super surprised to see that was your only upload. Nice job.
thank you for this video- it brought back a lot of memories for me haha. i think i got into hatena quite late as a child since i got my dsi secondhand in like 2011, i don't think i posted anything but i remember being in awe at how cool some of the creations were. i specifically remember this one flipnote that i think about often- i don't remember the title/artist, but it was kind of an angsty amv to a song that the word "lullaby" was sung, that's really the only lyric i remember, and i do remember finding the song one time but i forget it now. anyways, i would love to see that flipnote again, because i just never got it off of my mind. i'm not sure how to search for it in the archive since it seems you can only search for artists, so i have no idea if i can find it again haha. anyways, i loved this video, thank you for bringing back memories! :0D
omg i love this! hatena and other nintendo platforms that got used as social media had such a weird, specific vibe. i hope you keep making videos, this one is great 💕
I loved flipnote hatena as a young kid who was a big fan of animated videos on UA-cam and new grounds. I spent hundreds of hours making my own animations to the point that I completely wore out my L and R buttons on my DSi after a while.
Flipnote hatena was my introduction to social media besides occasionally watching my siblings using aim and myspace! I miss it so much even though it was as corny as early youtube/internet culture was
Really lovely video and a nostalgic topic for me - happy to have stumbled onto a brand new channel too
This video was super well done I can’t believe it only had a few hundred views when it was recommended to me! Although it did show up on my home page so I think that’s a good sign your channel is gonna blow up soon! Keep up the good work, instant sub
Flipnote Studio/Hatena is really the biggest thing that set the original DS/DS lite apart from the DSi to me. I probably spent half of my hours of the DSi on Flipnote in 2010.
It was amazing and truly a product of its time that I never want to see again. Some people will say they want it again on the Switch, but I don’t… it wouldn’t be the same due to a completely different landscape of tech we live in. It apppeled heavily to children and teens and we were lucky to experience and have memories of it.
I really loved this!! It was a great internet history video about something that I had absolutely no idea existed, and I also loved the aspect of you going back and looking at your own notes. I’m looking forward to seeing what you do in the next one!
Also in a weird coincidence I just noticed that you and I have very similar subscriber counts, like 4 away from each other which is spooky. But also congrats on (almost) 500!
My partner and I met on there. We’ve know been living together going on 4 years! We even plan on getting matching frog tattoos one day 🐸🧡
oh my god. i've been looking for my old flipnotes, thanks for pointing out the archive
I absolutely loved this, and I'm really excited to see what you do next with your new channel
Great video, humming in the back was driving me nuts though
I only made 2 music videos on flipnote, but I have so much nostalgia for flipnote and the community that it spawned
I never knew about hatena as a kid, but I do have a weird hatena experience. My mom brought me to this weird photo studio to get pictures taken, and I had my dsi. I had flipnote PURELY because it was free. While in the lobby waiting for our turn, I noticed the other kid also had a dsi. He sent over a bunch of hatena flipnotes he had saved, and I still have them to this day. It's super weird having a general understanding of the vibe of the culture, without ever having been on it.
dude im so glad i watched this. I had no idea about the archive, I just found all this art I made during childhood (cringey art but still). thank you soooooo much
I was obsessed with the flip notes that let you make your own pet/Pokémon/etc !!!
This video was too good and very nostaglic for me. I remember popular Flipnote animators like Salty Milk, Nicole Trinity, and Fleesveon. Flipnote Hatena never worked on my 3DS so I always looked through the Sudomemo page.
i think about the stars system every day of my life......the drama..(also wish cameo in next vid or else)
Great first video on the channel! Felt very informative and personal at the same time!
I adored Flipnote so so much. It was my first experience with online communities so I feel lucky such a relatively safe and nerdy place was my first exposure. I loved the Zelda and anime animations so much and I got into sonic because of the cool animations and one artist ScourgesBestBuddy. I was devastated when it shut down and saved a few of my most favorite animations. It’s a shame it didn’t last into the 3ds or move to the switch. I’m glad so many people are trying to save what’s left of the art and love put into those posts people made
i never had a DSi, but i was absolutely obsessed with the hatena artists (like shinyeevee) who uploaded their work to youtube/deviantart. the hatena art style was where my own art style started at, it had a very big impact on younger me
Definitely subscribed! I love deep dives into obscure or old things! Great video!
This was such a great video! I only ever had the original DS because my parents didn’t have as much money, but I remember watching in awe as my best friend made flipnotes and showed me her favourite ones others had made with all our favourite anime characters lol
This is such an awesome first video!! Inspires me to make my own content someday! If you had any obscure games downloaded from the shop you should make a video talking about them! I had so many!!
There’s a wired background buzz I can hear on this video. If you have a mattress push it up against the wall you’re facing for recording it will improve audio quality of your mid massively and might help remove the background buzz.
flipnote hatena shaped me into the person i am today
I spent so much of my time on my dsi and essentially everything about the flipnote universe. It was so special to me i wish i could type 108776 words about how it changed my life
Yo i haven't even watched this it's now added to my watch later cuz i don't have 22 minutes right now but your vibe seems spectacular, the topic is something I've wanted to discuss with somebody (literally anybody at this point 😭) and i don't know I'm just so excited.
I really like your relaxed and emotionless way of talking, I don't know why it makes the jokes funnier. I think I'm just tired of all these hyperactive UA-camrs screaming at me so that I stay watching them.
Flip note studio was my childhood, I made tons of flip notes but never uploaded them because I didn't have internet connection back then, I wish I could watch them again :(
I met and bonded with my best friend over Flipnote. It defined our friendship, and so many flipnotes are stored deep in my Permanent Memory Bank™️. I HAVE to find my SD card with all the flipnotes I saved.
Flipnote Hatena was my shit growing up! I met so many cool friends that I still talk regularly with to this day on there!
This is so thorough and fantastic!
Great video! Flipnote will always hold a very special place in my heart
Besids the rich history of Flipnote I can not believe your username. I swear to god I had something similar for Kik. But woah. I got my DSI XL in 2015 the flipnote feature was so cool. I was so grateful for my DS since it was my very first and MY own to keep and use a gaming console. Such a fun video and a wonderful trip down memory lane.
Loved the video, love your nails! Despite all my time on the various DS platforms, and having seen a significant amount of content on the net Im willing to bet was made with this app, I didnt know about the app itself, until now. Excitedly, but patiently, waiting to see what else you talk about.
i LOVED flipnote!! it was such a interesting piece of the early 2010s, my fav flipnotes were this series by a user blondirae, called Fatality
this video made me smile from ear to ear!!! i was a huge fan of the storytelling flipnotes and i vividly remember recounting all the drama and details of whatever story i was reading to my friends at school
Does anyone else remember a comic that was uploaded on flipnote hatena about a guy who got turned into a lucario? The flipnotes would play super fast and you had to download them and read them in the editor. It was like 100 flipnotes long and I read it when I was in middle school probably around 2013 or 2014. I've wanted to find it again for a few years just to figure out what it really was cause I only vaguely remember it.
