Anal Cross: New Verizon

**Anal Cross: New Verizon** (**ACNV**) is a satire video that mimics the plot of *Animal Crossing: New Horizons,* released on January 24, 2021. It is the prequel to the *Unwelcome To Censlur* series.

## Synopsis

Cauwak bought an island off the coast of Azonhev, Iakronemy, and people decide to live there while the island is still under maintenance. That is until they start ameliorating the island in such a good way in a lapse of 72 hours before the island opens to the public.

The animation takes place at the end of June 2020.

## Animation style

The animation style as well as some art styles of ACNV are poor due to the author not being consistent with animation programs and due to recycling 2018-early 2019 art, but Cauwak breaks the 4th wall by explaining why shortly before the end of the animation, with this quote he says to Nejeka:

### "*The best presentations are PowerPoint presentations, just like right fucking now.*"

Furthermore, the video is edited with Vegas 14. Yeah.

Some of the voiceovers were also not formatted correctly and had to have a few parts re-recorded shortly before release.

## Trivia

* The earliest ideas for ACNV came around April 2019, after Cauwak was staked on why there was no confirmed Animal Crossing game on the Nintendo Switch at the time. It was meant to be a three minute commercial about a hypothetical new game in the series, but with bad features and being called *New Leaf Deluxe*.
	+ This did not age well, as *New Horizons*, announced in June 2019 and released in March 2020, was a brand new game and not a remake of *New Leaf*.
* The second idea was an animation meant to be a parody of the then-upcoming game, but due to Cauwak lacking animation consistency, he decided to create the animation with PowerPoint. He then was unsatisfied with the result, and went on with the third idea, which was still a PowerPoint presentation, but with much more satire and a bit less focus on *Animal Crossing*, which is the idea seen in ACNV, alongside the many references to other media.
	+ The third idea started being developed in April 2020, and it was finished on December 26, 2020. It has 2106 slides in grand total.
* All music used in the animation is copyright-free, as stated in the disclaimer at the start of the animation. Most of them are *Clone Hero* custom songs or songs Cauwak made himself.
	+ Some Clone Hero songs featured as background music there are *Soulless 4*, *Inverted 2*, *Thiong*, *Midnight Symphony*, *WTF Song 3*, *Combo Slayer* (both the original and *Combo Slayer^2*) and *Cataclysm*.
	+ The songs made by Cauwak that are used in ACNV are *18 Seconds*, *63 Seconds* and *Cave Theme*.
* There are well over 100 f-words in the animation in total, including the variations.
* Being 99 minutes and 20 seconds in length, this is so far Cauwak's longest video.
