Hello, this is Aaron at Hatena in Kyoto, Japan and I'm happy to present some of the most brilliant animations posted on Flipnote Hatena by users around the world.
It's nice to be back after taking one week off from posting the Weekly News. Flipnote Artists had twice as long as usual to work on their weekly topic Flipnotes and the animations posted seem to be twice as good as usual. Thanks to everyone who took part!
This week the Hatena staff has come up with a fun new topic that we hope will inspire you to post some new animations. Please remember to use only original audio and characters in your weekly topic Flipnotes if you want them to be featured here.
Thanks for checking out the news blog, from all of us at Hatena!
