This is Aaron at Hatena in Kyoto, Japan with the latest news about Flipnote Hatena.
We enjoyed all of the "Alien" themed Flipnotes that were posted last week, and would like to thank everyone who took part. Over 800 animations were posted about this topic by Flipnote artists from around the globe. Great work everyone!
This week we have a "heavy" new topic that we hope will inspire you to get started on some new Flipnotes.
Thanks for checking out the Flipnote Hatena Weekly News, from all us as at Hatena. We are looking forward to seeing your animations!
