Cold Hard Five Year Anniversary
Flashing the Studios (2 of those series, Omega Dome and Katbot, never surfaced).
Now, 5 years later, dozens upon dozens of TV series are animated with the tool, and similar software packages like Toon Boom and Anime Studio help studios make dozens more. It’s undoubtedly a revolution in 2D animation, but the true exciting result is that so many more artists around the world can express themselves through the medium of animation. 
Lineboil posts, but I thank you all for joining me here on the site – for submitting your shorts, pointing me to great work, answering endless interview questions, and for making such amazing animation over these last few years. To the next five!

[...] A importância do Flash não pode ser descurada numa história geral da animação. Para as novas gerações ser-lhes-á difícil imaginar o cenário pré Flash de há apenas alguns anos, sem YouTube, torrents, redes sociais ou a omnipresença de animações web. Estas estão hoje em qualquer página que se aceda, diferindo apenas no grau de complexidade e obviedade. I used to struggle to find things to write about, but now I’m struggling to keep up.

Happy 5th!
I remember when I first found this site. I was looking for something about flash tips years ago and found this place. The most recent post was that amazing flash animation by the Iyasakado Studios where the little tank chases a kangaroo mouse all over the city. And then right after that, I found the post where you had posted some french animation including one about suicide from the now defunct INCORREKT french design studio. And then right after that I found that post where you showed off that “At a Glance” music video.
It shocked me, that flash animation could look this good.
I felt that same shock when you posted about Arthur de Pins.
And I felt it again when you posted that “Turnaround” Jimmy Swift music video.
And I’ve felt it so many times whenever I come here and you open my eyes to some amazing new thing.
This, and cartoon brew, are both sites I come to visit at least once a day, every day.
I love this site because over the last few years it has provided me with many things to watch and things that prove that Flash isnt just some piece of crap flash in the pan cartoon medium.
Your tireless effort of constantly updating this place AND finding new material is amazing and I am glad this place is still around.
Godspeed.
A big fan.
Happy 5th Birthday CHF!
wow congrats aaron!
