00:00:00.960 Hi everyone, I'm Matt Walsh and I'm here today to put a lot of fears to rest and hopefully
00:00:05.120 to begin the process of healing for many of you and for me also. A few months back a brave young
00:00:11.760 man confronted me in public about comments that I made allegedly against the anime community.
00:00:17.440 What's your opinion on anime? It's really popular amongst teens and young adults. I think it's all
00:00:22.720 satanic. Words matter. He informed me and although I thought I was just a man simply giving his 0.88
00:00:28.400 opinions about one of the worst genres of entertainment, this young man let me know
00:00:32.960 that what I was doing was no less than one of the worst acts of stochastic terrorism in American 1.00
00:00:38.880 history. But he offered me salvation. In exchange for his contributions to further childhood
00:00:44.080 literacy, I agreed to watch a full season of the anime show One Punch Man. So if we started
00:00:50.800 at GoFundMe to buy a hundred books, you would live stream you watching a season of anime? Yes.
00:00:58.400 On preparation for this event, a special chamber was constructed here at the Daily Wire.
00:01:03.200 This fortress ensures that no one can get in or out during the screening of this anime.
00:01:10.000 What you're about to witness, while truly stunning and brave, is also quite graphic in parts. A true
00:01:15.680 story of one man's descent into madness and the miraculous story of his return.
00:01:23.680 I know I've broken some promises in the past, but I'm now starting the process of amending
00:01:28.000 those wrongs. I'm not the only one who has broken some promises though. Have you ever noticed how
00:01:31.920 corporations will promise you one thing but then give you another? Take search engines, for example.
00:01:36.560 Google claims that incognito mode allows for private browsing, but it doesn't actually hide
00:01:41.360 your activity. In fact, it doesn't matter what mode you use or how many times you clear your browsing
00:01:45.600 history, your internet service provider, your employer, your school, and other unwelcome eyes can still
00:01:50.800 see every single website you've ever visited. That's why I never go online without using ExpressVPN. It doesn't
00:01:56.400 matter who your internet provider is. In the U.S., they can legally sell your information to ad companies.
00:02:02.160 A true violation of trust, if I've ever heard of one. ExpressVPN is an app that reroutes all of your
00:02:07.040 online activity through their secure server so that your ISP workplace or network admin cannot monitor it.
00:02:13.360 ExpressVPN also encrypts 100% of your data to protect you from hackers. ExpressVPN is incredibly easy to use
00:02:19.120 and it's available on all your devices. Just tap one button and you're protected. Here's a promise you can count on when you visit my exclusive
00:02:25.280 link at expressvpn.com slash walshmakesgood. You'll get an extra three months free. That's e-x-p-r-e-s-s-vp-n.com slash walshmakesgood for three months free. ExpressVPN.com slash walshmakesgood.
00:02:39.040 It's been hours. Lost all sense of time.
00:03:05.280 Lost all sense of time. Maybe they've forgotten about me. What if everyone left and I'm doomed to
00:03:11.920 sit here for an eternity watching entertainment for the most tasteless audience in history?
00:03:20.960 No. Don't look at the time. It's a distraction. It's been at least four hours, maybe five. Just hold
00:03:29.120 out for a little while longer. Then look. We'll be closer to the end of this nightmare.
00:03:39.280 The end credits. Another episode in the bag. Must be near the end of this torture by now.
00:03:44.800 It doesn't make any sense. It's almost over. Okay, look at the time.
00:03:50.080 I can feel my grip on reality straining.
00:04:09.440 Every minute I spend in here, I'm getting weaker. While anime fans get stronger.
00:04:13.760 They'll gain a deeper understanding of their community if I just watch a season.
00:04:21.120 That's all bull .
00:04:24.720 Got to stay strong. Keep going.
00:04:28.800 Right is becoming left. Bad is becoming good. Trying to break me down.
00:04:36.160 They find my body. I hope they know I hold on until the very end.
00:04:43.760 I hope they know I've watched as much anime as humanly possible.
00:05:04.640 I hope.
00:05:05.120 I made it.
00:05:20.480 Much like the audience at The View, I've survived some of the worst torture a man can endure.
00:05:26.880 Was the anime community right?
00:05:28.240 Has watching a season of One Punch Man opened my eyes to their art?
00:05:33.840 To their culture? 0.96
00:05:40.080 No. It hasn't.
