Also, side note. The character at 27:55, that's a very popular character from Flipnotes. I don't think he has an official name, just often I hear him called "The Hero", a swords man who will "Never be afraid again, will fight until the end, can walk on water, can fly, and will fight till he dies". It's one of the most popular Flipnotes out there, and so seeing him set up as a hero from inside the city that willing to fight is very fitting. The flute playing is even a slowed down version of the song most usually connected to him.

I genuinely believe it was the best social media for any kid to be on tbh. It was pretty well moderated so the likelihood of seeing something nsfw was low and the site had a strict privacy policy where no user could use their real names or provide any way to find their address. Plus when it came to posting content you pretty much HAD to make something and be creative. It didn’t matter how skilled you were at art or animation, it was just a really fun place to check

I have a lot of great memories of Flipnote and this series is using the characters and iconography in brilliant ways. It feels like an emotional epilogue for the entire platform, and the themes really resonate. Great job covering this, Night Mind.

I have a theory that the vials themselves are the data of the flipnotes people downloaded before the server shutdown. They’re the life boats of flipnote, and the perfect place for a parasitic memetic entity to transfer over to keep infecting others. Hence the unlock, do not destroy phrase. Look at it, but don’t delete it, because it’s gone forever. But yeah, I grew up with flipnote (I never had access to Hatena but my brother did) and I’m glad people have caught The Hero standing on the building, because I sure recognized him.

According to a flipnote veteran I met the vials are from the very early betas of flipnote and they were used to show the people using flipnote how much “memory” on the memory card was left (on the day memory cards were like sd cards but for dsis) so it would show the creator how much memory space they have on their memory card so it basically symbols how much memory left there is and I’m guessing it’s important because you use the vials to show the memory data to others and make others remember because just like the knight said memory is the key to reality

My impression is that Fuzz didn't exist until _after_ Hatena shut down the servers. The 'wound' left by the service's destruction and the psychic energy being invested in it by the former userbase acted as a lighthouse, drawing Fuzz from beyond space & time. He coagulated in that 'wound' - but it was already too late. The server was dark. So Fuzz started to reach out from this dungeon-realm he'd found himself in. He rifled through the minds of his unwitting summoners, and through the history of Flipnotes itself. Except that Fuzz isn't human. He didn't understand the difference between code and flesh. As he tried to understand what Flipnotes had been, the 'wound' began to fill with the fruits of his labors: data dredged from the server's past, corrupted by Fuzz's alien energies and the gathering memories of those who remembered Flipnotes. That's what the red city is: a could-have-been, a place that isn't, where old memes and nostalgia have been alchemized into living, thinking creatures. As Fuzz starts dragging the clock hand back, away from midnight, the red city grows and its denizens become more aware - and that awareness tends to breed chaos, confusion, and fear, because they're all trapped inside the half-remembered shadow of a dead world.

I never thought the message 'where did they go? is it my fault? :(' scribbled on a screen on a Nintendo DS would wrench and shatter my heart so brutally, but here we are. Utterly marvellous.

we'll you're not the only one who didn't know about that

It’s good to hear the rain, I love watching the VODS, but I love the mainline videos as well.

Analog horror is nostalgic to a certain group, but flipnote was my childhood. Digital horror hits different.

The loss of Hatena did a major hit to my mental health. As a kid I dealt with serious mental issues and Hatena and the communities on there was my safe space. When it was gone I kinda had nowhere to go to escape for a while. And man, the joke that was the 3DS Flipnote was just a nice lemon squeeze in the wound.

the way the june archive plays with themes of moving on from the past is so incredibly interesting and poignant to me. like, i've seen the concept covered in media before, i'm sure, but the specificity of the nostalgia really makes the feelings unique. more raw, i guess i could say? i really worried that people who weren't part of that hatena community back in the day wouldn't resonate with it as much, but with the incredible craftsmanship on display, and the universality of those core themes, i hoped it could reach across that bridge, and i think your covering of it proves that after watching this i don't remember if you mentioned it, since you did mention sudomemo at one point, but last year, the people behind that site were able to put up a flipnote archive. they managed to secure and display almost every flipnote that was uploaded to the original hatena. it made me so so emotional when i first saw it, because it broke my heart that so many hours of work and passion from young artists had seemingly been lost to time. so much of that media that was so important to so many of us is no longer lost, and for that i am incredibly grateful

This is the first Night Mind video where I _haven't_ had to stop and rewatch the entire series beforehand because I'd already been following it, and I consider that an achievement.

What a throw back. I remember spending 6 hours on a stick-figure music video to "Party Rock" before the battery died and I forgot to save. It killed my 12 yr old heart. I've been thinking about that a lot lately while working my way out of a depressing time and trying to find purpose. Huh. Cool video!

the clock cat reminds me a lot of Galactic Nova from Kirby. Intentional or not, this design choice definitely helps feed the nostalgic feeling the series has, with kirby super star ultra being a key release from the time (specifically '08)

This is such an awesome project. As someone who was on DeviantArt in its glory days and has seen what it's become, this hits home even though I'm largely unfamiliar with hatena and flipnote.

I love that you and your boyfriend have the same laugh pattern.

as a longtime viewer of this series, i would say that the best way to view this series is on a real dsi or a modded 3ds with flipnote studio on it. not only do i think it provides a nice atmosphere to the series, but there are also several secrets accessible by downloading and viewing the flipnote in the editor, mainly by turning off layers. an example i can think of is the “hatena bye bye” flipnote, where by turning off one of the layers certain letters are highlighted in red.

So often, I see projects that use nostalgia as a story vehicle, some reason the protagonist begins to investigate something strange. BEN Drowned revisiting a childhood classic, Angel Hare remembering an old show they loved, really a good chunk of analog horror or stories with video games or something similar. And it's always left me with an ache for someone to tell a story ABOUT nostalgia, for it to be a plot point or central theme instead of just the reason we showed up, and I cannot possibly be more THRILLED with seeing someone finally execute it, let alone so wonderfully!

Really didn't think I would be crying, but the line "it was more than flipnotes" really got me flipnote was a home. It was the only place where I had friends, it was a place to shield myself from the crushing loneliness of the real world. And now that it's gone, there's just a hiole.

I swear your voice should be prescribed as an anxiety treatment. It's one of the few things that manages to soothe me when my anxiety is about to knock at my brain's door.

I love the heart and nostalgia put into this project. It's especially nice knowing the creator was also prominent on Flipnotes back in the day.

Having Graffi explain the details helped me understand a lot more than I would have, as I didn't know anything about this scene.

Hello Mr nocturne

Thank you Mr. NightMind sir for this video, have a good day.

This one hits very, very different for me because of my own nostalgia for Flipnote Hatena. I really, really, really hope that, someday, it makes a comeback. June Archive perfectly screws with me, since I can perfectly recall most of the flipnotes that are being edited from my childhood. It goes beyond just "oh nooo, nostalgic thing we like is being edited and it's creepy ooooo", it's genuinely clever, subversive, and unnerving in a meaningful way. Such a good series so far.

13:42 so I’m new to your content NightMind, but I absolutely love several things about your channel. First and foremost, you support creators that are driven and work really hard to make spooky content. Second, your voice is amazing and you sound very flirtatious. And third, I really just love to watch your videos, thankfully I have a large backlog of stuff to catch up on!

A four eyed demon cat talking about a mind parasite cat... "no, im not high! what gives that impression?"

i feel like having been there and being familiar with the references in the flipnotes and the different popular creators' and their styles at the time really elevates the whole experience. this was awesome!

I've been following the June Archive for a while now and it's amazing, needless to say I was shocked to see it actually be covered by you with a great video to do it justice as usual

Nick's voice is so soothing it's 50% of the reason I watch his videos

I refuse to believe I was the only one who didn’t know night mind had a boyfriend

So, random thing to note and laugh at, the ringtone Fuzz uses is the same ringtone that I've used for one of my friends for well over a decade 🤣 It's the Basshunter "There is someone calling" ringtone, and I'm never going to change it, ever.

"the parasite's monologue" would make a killer song name

As someone who grew up on Hatena and moved onto Sudomemo, this genuinely made me tear up. It introduced to SO many friends, to art and my love for animation. I was super popular on it as well and I'll still occasionally get messages from people recognizing me. It always saddens me. Reminding me of those better times. I don't speak to many of those friends I made on flipnote anymore. I barely draw anymore. I miss those times. Also the amount of WORK that went into this. Clearly they made this on a dsi and it's outstanding. Knowing how flipnote work, a 10 second clip could take DAYS to do. I could only imagine how long it took for this to make. This has to be my favorite ARG so far. It's so well made and hits a core with me..

As someone who grew up with Flipnote and would go on Hetena in the early 2010s, I love this. The shit audio, the animation styles, and the specific type of creepy art style made me smile

some of my fondest memories barely scrape back to the time that the flipnote service was still active and i am *ecstatic* that this is the focal point of this video, cannot wait 💙

I love how stuff gen z grew up with is being used for horror projects it’s so damn cool!

i am SO glad you're covering this series. I caught it as it was starting up and I was so excited to see where it'd go. Here's to hoping this video gives it the exposure it deserves!

They really turned Clavicus Vile into an evil date meme cat.

"I made a wish, that I could live forever..." Immortality is nothing but a glorified curse.

It reminds me of Homestuck in the best way, but with way more creep factor and loving labor put into it

I never used flip notes, as I didn’t have a DS until the 3DS came out, but I still resonate with it deeply. I used to frequent an Oekaki board as a kid. It was essentially a image board with a built in art application, where you could draw and share your work, and other users could even watch a demo of your entire process for each piece of art or edit it themselves if given permission. It was a pretty great community, and I miss it dearly. The board in question is long gone, and the oekaki boards that are still up (at least the ones I could find) are practically inactive. It was a time and place sort of thing, a period of my young life I won’t get back, a thing I took for granted until years after it was gone.

I’m super surprised I’ve never heard of this series and I’m obsessed with it, it’s so well done and the plot resonates so much with me and I hate that hatena is gone it was such a large part of my childhood. Thank you Nick for covering this!!!

This project hits me. HARD. Hatena was my first social media platform. It was my KZread, and I would check it daily as if it was. I remember so many of these flipnotes, too. Absolutely crazy seeing these again nearly 12 years later.

I wanna point something out that i noticed. The swordsperson (the one that monologues about memory) specifically says "Come on, kid *YOU* don't have all day" not " *I* don't have all day" or " *WE* don't have all day". Does this swordsperson have more time than the other flipnotes?

Finding out Nick has a boyfriend made my brain have happy chemicals

SO stoked to see you cover June Archive! I'm friends with the creator and some of the talented people who've worked on this and everyone's so happy to see you cover this.

I never had flipnote but I do remember quite a few artists who preferred using it over other animation programs (keke- comes to mind) Pixel art works really well with horror... I think it's partially because it lends itself to corruption edits, but also because simplistic art lets your brain add more details, the same way vague descriptions make your brain add scarier things. Also I am thrilled that of all songs, the Great Mouse Detective delivered spooks.

I genuinly love the June Archive I found myself quoting it more than once when talking about the morality of isolation as a form of punishment "Memory is the key to reality, if it burns down and no one remembers it, it was never there to begin with" And when your ARG can be quoted as a political statement you have reached the peak of dialogue writing That plus the terrifiying line "that's exactly the point", wich always works, is most times good writing

I was never on a DSI, the SP was my last handheld. But the themes and emotion done through this project is as clear as day. Bravo to the creator(s) for their work so far!

So happy that you’re covering June archives. This series gives me overwhelming nostalgia.

Hot dang, I still have my Dsi with a whole SD card FULL of downloaded flipnotes that I used to watch constantly. This inspired me to pull it out and watch some again. What a time that was.

Great video as always Nick! Common NightMind W

As someone with no previous knowledge or experience with Flipnote Hatena, this was still a really interesting series to go through as is and then have this deep dive explaining more of the finer details. Excellent as always. 🖤

Oh This was a DELIGHT!!! I love that the videos stick with the three tone flipnote color scheme and Im SO glad I checked it out before your analysis.

Our favourite Cat Daddy talking with his amazing boyfriend! This is what makes me happy. :) Love you guys!

Finally more talk about this series!! Im suprised that not many people have touched upon it, it's really good
