October is here again -- the the air is getting cooler and the days are getting shorter here in Kyoto, Japan at Hatena headquarters. It's nice weather to bring your Nintendo DSi outside and make some Flipnotes, isn't it?
For this week's edition of the Flipnote Hatena Weekly news, we'll review some of the best submissions from last week's topic "Your Original Team of Heroes", as well as show some of our favorite Flipnotes from around the world this week, and lastly introduce a new topic for this week.
Recently many Flipnote creators from around the world have been posting Flipnotes for the weekly topic, and we appreciate all of you taking the time to create your Flipnotes and sharing them with the world.
The best of last week's topic: "Your Original Team of Heroes"
In the past week we had over 900 Flipnotes (!) posted for this week's topic by Flipnote creators around the globe, and we've chosen a few of our favorites to share with you here.
From Europe and Oceania:
★ Hinto (id:Hinto) created the triple powered "Team Kartos" with Jerry, Sophie and Harry who are definitely not a team to be messed with.
★ "Zero G-Force - Episode One" by Gwyn.400 (id:gwyn) is a funny Flipnote about a team of 3 bumbling heroes who try their best to fight evil, but seem to keep making mistakes. What will happen to Super PD Woman, Captain PD and Thumper in the next episode?!?
From the Americas:
★ Fenyx Negima (id:fenyxofshadows) tells the story of a team of heroes with magical powers in this well-illustrated Flipnote titled "Maga Ereaka #1"
From Japan:
★ You'll surely enjoy this team of zoo animals with special powers in the Flipnote "Animal Squadron: Zoo Rangers" by Bobiko (id:bobi-wan).
★ This dirty team of heroes, the "Osaingers", is no match for their rival "Clean Man" in this funny Flipnote by Godanchi (id:a9372-8085-7482)
