0:00 thank you [Music] so there's an Italian who claims he was saved by anime really yeah I like it already right he's born in Sicily is that accurate does it Sicily Sicily sound good to me Susie loves playing with stuffed toys and staying at home while other boys's age we're expected to be running around in soccer fields and having sex with women does this sound like an anime how old is he um it just says so far he's born and raised there I don't know because I mean to me three now because I'm saying like if you're 13 it's pretty age-appropriate to be watching Pokemon at home you shouldn't be out there with ████ girls left and right at 13. well well he it says he was born raised in Sicily he loved playing with stuffed

0:51 toys and staying home yeah but I know Italians are horny that's why I just think that they're at early they're just ████ girls left and right riding their Lamborghinis you know it sounds like they're having a great time yeah I know a lot of Italian guys were very happy guys but this guy was shy and withdrawn he should have been in Japan he says you'd find me crying all the time what a little ████ but if he's 13 that's okay no if you're 13 cry baby that's fine but if you're 33 years old you deserve to get ████ up but if you're Italian you should be ████ everybody all the time in Lamborghinis if you're in Japan I know if you're in Japan no no no no no anime boys should be in Japan that's where he belongs so his his so like think about like this he's a caterpillar you ever heard of that not like the construction equipment he's a caterpillar little tiny little caterpillar So eventually with time and water and

1:44 sunlight right and fertilizer they turn into what is called a butterfly yeah right and fertilizer and he is saying I love her so much today he is saying that he's a science he was glued even at 10 years old to his television set and it showed him the Italian version of Sailor Moon which is an anime series yeah good one and he was fascinated about how an ordinary ████ school girl could transition into a superhero with the power of the Moon to fight evil while delivering her signature phrase in the name of the Moon I'll punish you and at the same time Dragon Balls which is a show about dragons having testicles it's so dumb for that um from Japan featuring a hero who becomes stronger as he defeats his enemies was

2:34 popular among Italian boys yep but this cat he's more uh attracted to the nobility and the beauty of the girl characters in Sailor Moon he liked how their titties rise and fall Sailor Mars especially she's the ████ one cellular uterus also check it out check it out she had she you know what it was irony because she actually had no ass hmm yeah smart good writing yep so um he was bullied by boys who said he was behaving like a girl for watching Sailor Moon but he's like those guys are gay because they're watching like Dude shows that's true got a point it's like do you want to watch men all day I want to watch hot girls he's like you want to Double Dragon the cartoon show yeah starring two muscly dudes I'm watching Sailor Moon starring chicks with her ████ little skirts yeah five of them right

3:24 and that's who's waist trainer yeah and so these those guys were tried for being gay and X-Men they were executed in Sicily yeah tell me that pass tried for being gay and executed on the spot some people say right no but he felt peer pressure right he was worried about not being able to fit in because he had these certain like procrabilities to watch proclivities to watch anime while other kids his age were watching like other cooler shows like GI Joes and stuff or like Sicilian people held to a higher standard than other Italians lobsters are they yeah it's either you have a pizza shop or you're a mobster oh I see that's true it's either yeah yeah or or spaghetti yeah you have to serve spaghetti though

4:14 you're 13 year old ████ chicks and Lamborghinis yeah dude and that was so that was the big thing right yeah so then he's just basically saying how come all these dudes watching all these Dude shows aren't gay but then I'm going to trial yeah yeah and getting executed so he didn't want to go to trial he thought it was a wrongful excuse me excuse me what do you have to comment about being being accused of being gay and he goes I'm gay I watch women all day they watch guys bending over playing football day that's the Eternal uh debate it's like when you choose an avatar for your game dude that's what it is you want to look at a girl's ass all day when you're playing it or do you want with my my friend blew my mind when he said that he's all like dude when you play water Warcraft or any

5:05 of these games and you're a hot girl dude it's just samp because they think you're a girl in the game and then he's like what and he goes just trust me you ████ do it next time I made a hot ass character I'm like this is nicer to look at her than than creating a God Like A Buff Ass football player character yeah like a big Barbarian dude yeah and then you go around and all these dudes just start gifting you ████ dude I was like whoa I don't even have to ████ go and hunt this stuff yeah yeah exactly well I like flirting with other guys in this game it pays off nobody said well the people that's what he said in the press conference people were executed no but then they'll want a quest with me right like I'll I'll be like yeah he won the quest so we'll be questioning ████ and we're making small talk and then I think I really let them down when they go like so like you know what brings you on I'm actually a guy but I get a lot of free

5:55 ████ and then I'm like oh yeah and then they go away and I'm like what happened to my question like wait why did they leave my group yeah yeah that's sad so um they'd be questioning ████ he he watches he watches like the dragon balls and he's watching Sailor Moon and stuff and he's he's watching the show and he's telling his mom he's like you know what I'm gonna live in Japan in the future and he says he's 11 years old when he had this Epiphany he added many people show a negative reaction when it comes to anime and video games I'm one of them I'm three of them but I was able to see myself objectively and accept my weaknesses thanks to anime as he found himself through anime he became eager to learn about the human mind and body as well as the secrets of life and then he says that um he came across um when he was a second year med student he came across a life-changing an event which is called Neon Genesis Evangelion

6:47 yeah Evangelion yeah sure I usually punch you in the face is that a good anime you do this man what is it about um he was shocked by their the enemy's profound story Trails of feelings experienced by the characters and my my little brother says the same thing while you know while he was trying to tell me about anime he was trying to tell me about this exact one oh really yeah but it was kind of hard to listen while you were punching I'd beat him up yeah it's the complex feeling and you know how loud punches are it's so it's so hard to hear what the ████ especially when you're bare knuckle yeah it's so hard and now looking back I'm like I wish I listened a little bit because apparently this is tight so this guy he couldn't afford Japanese language classes but he learned the an entire kanji dictionary wow to improve

7:38 his proficiency and he's also going to medical school this guy's smart he memorized 4 000 candy characters in the dictionary in just three months but he still couldn't understand Japanese does it not say that yeah is it candy or kanji it is it's Kenji it's kanji it's kanji but we'll we'll let him have it he read a grammar book until he memorized the entire thing there was no controversy here so then after learning Japanese on his own for a year or three months is that okay with yours out of controversy he takes a chance he takes the Japanese language aptitude test for non-native speakers and he went for the highest N1 level which requires a linguistic ability to understand Japanese wow using a wide variety of situations he says

8:28 anime thank you so much anime anime brought them to the to the promised land that's why he knows about all this ████ that's great exactly that's really cool so he's in Japan now he moved to Japan in order to take forward what he learned through watching like dragon balls and what he learned from watching Sailor Moon and so Uranus mostly is what he says so that he could teach people the inspirational stories that he got from them he'd drive for them wait he wants to go to Japan to teach he's in Japan as a psychologist now teaching about anime these people about their own culture teaching about she's trying to help people who are going through situations and using anime as reference but anime was his inspirational story for getting into psychology yeah okay I got it so he's trying to teach people like the application of like if you're passionate about this guess what you can do with it Steve if for some reason you had to see

9:19 the psychologist and he started bringing up anime a bunch would you punch him in the face while he was trying to talk to you about life no I would nod my hand a lot and then as I'm leaving I'd be like laughs but it's because of respect for the culture yeah yeah yeah yeah I haven't watched anime in a long time did you ever like one yeah what was your favorite one the most recent one that was probably Samurai Champloo and then one piece oh those are those are pretty old school I'll watch one called Akira oh that's a 1980s but I would say like was it yeah but they're serious and then there's like movies Masterpiece yeah because there's like movies that are one-offs and then I I mean yeah they're anime but I think when most people reference it they're talking about the series like TV series yeah yeah

10:10 I was like at least they made this Scarlett Johansson white chick Asian movie so that's the best anime they ever made let's talk about ghosts of the shell ghost and shell thank you wait did that come out yeah Oh I thought they canned it after best animated everyone it was amazing anime but like the No No the Scarlett Johansson one's the best anime yes it's hard to make those live-action movies though second best one is Tom Cruise in Last Samurai it's not an anime but okay classic I like your death note Death Note is amazing parasite Naruto and then I would say you're so much cooler too uh what's the one on gambling one punch man Come on Anthony it's about gambling yeah it's about gambling it's on gambling

11:00 school oh I don't know is it neogenesis Evangeline no no it'll come to me but I don't think all the ones I like are Chef no is probably one of my top definitely it's amazing yeah so parasite's cool too but that those are ████ good record of lotus War um magical shopping arcade I've been obashi wow I'm sweating getting sucked um I like Maison ikoku which it's not even it's an anime that's basically a uh it's a rom-com the whole way through it's one of those you know the ones that are not action based yeah yeah maisonikoku is just about a guy who didn't get into college so he moves into like an apartment and he falls in love with the landlord and that's literally the whole thing and it's like that sounds like a beginning of a hentai it's not it's very it's very heartwarming I

11:50 like death note with Willem Dafoe I don't know the title of it but it was like a girl in Brazil with a motorcycle it was like South American characters oh you know what's great perfect blue and I think you would like it because a lot of um modern directors based a lot of their scenes off of perfect blue just like video with Akira yeah yeah a lot Akira was weird a lot of Christopher Nolan I believe is taken from perfect blue really really I feel like a lot of movies and scripts are taken from anime so good chainsaw man so good but these These are only one season hits right now like here's one of the wackest movies I've ever seen is it really yeah let's

12:41 watch Attack on Titan yeah I won't bump me out I actually like that one that was good it was good started getting into it it's really good and this if you just started getting into it I think it's a good time because it was it took like ████ years for the final season to come out in three different parts so everybody fell off right and then they change they jump ship and they changed like the the timeline of it a lot so if you're just starting off like you can binge it and then stay connected but oh my bad I meant Titan a get out of here hey you know what you would like Street Fighter 2 V you know what that is Street Fighter sounds great Street Fighter 2 V is a anime series about all the Street Fighter characters whoa teenagers and it shows how they all get there wow because I'll watch that it does but she's she's like 15 in this

13:32 he'll watch it old enough what kind of VPN you got I remember watching a Street Fighter anime And Then There Was An Origin story with Ryu and guile being homies at the studio yeah because guile was like an orphan from American Military Base Ken was and then that's why they were raised like brothers yeah because I was like why the ████ is this Japanese dude Ken look white it's because he is white yeah there's like five different kinds but the 2v is the one where they're like straight up teenagers is dope I hope a white lady doesn't see this because she'd be like he thinks Kennedale the same what the ████ ing I really have a white lady don't send this to your job is to end give your opinion before you turn it off you can't just guess what don't ruin

14:22 this close it up what do you say Nick I like I like one punch man uh it's good it's good I gotta watch it he's apparently by Japan standard rated the number one like superhero I love one punch man foreign [Music]
