animal crossing means the absolute world to me. i've been a huge fan of it since the north american release of acgc in 2002; in a lot of ways, it was a formative series for me. its art style is adorable and quirky, and its comfy vibes have totally held up through the years! i have played each and every single animal crossing game, and so i figured it'd be best if i broke my thoughts on each of the games up onto individual pages. i hope you enjoy reading about each of my towns!
