I don't think that's the meaning of legit he meant. I think he more meant a 'small-town actor becoming a big movie star' "going legit", then a 'decriminalizing our works' "going legit".
The point stands though, porn companies are seen as seedy or gross. Though eh, I guess that's particularly an American thing.
Personally I love the Gainax title Princess Maker 2, despite it having some weirdly lewd options I'm legit disinterested in. The options don't really bother me, heck the choice maybe enriches my experience somehow.
I'm also a big fan of a few Nippon Ichi titles despite the fanservice. It's cartoony and backed by game mechanics which uh... I enjoy. Despite them serving as treatises on levels of infinity and the value of time.
And yet I can't stand certain animes like Strike Witches which, to my mind at least, brandish sexualization of young characters. I don't know why, exactly, maybe I have a double standard. With PM2 they're fairly late options, emphasis on options. And Disgaea is just too artistically cartoonish for me to see as pornographic. It's like the *word* pornography, just symbols instead of actual lewdness.
So I finally finished up the first season(?) of One Punch Man, up to episode 12 anyway. I enjoyed it. Genos was my favorite since his introduction of course, but I found myself caring about the other S-rank heroes towards the end. Even green loli brat was amusingly annoying. Samurai, dojo-master, and guy-with-a-bat brought the show... impact, I guess.
And I guess I won't spoil the ending, but Saitama's arc was interesting.
Especially in how he remains unresolved.
It's the supporting characters that make it feel good, though.
I guess there are OVAs which my housemate suggested. And maybe a second season that is very different and bad?
I watched the first two episodes of the new Ultraman and barely got engaged at all. I'm not exactly sure why. I guess the english dub felt really off, and in a lot of ways it just felt really predictable and... simple. The fight graphics also didn't work for me, for some reason. None of the attacks seemed to have impact, even when they kept impacting the ground like meteors. It was technically impressive, but maybe lasted too long for me.
Then I watched the first two episodes of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and it's... very unlike what I expected, but I think I'm about to have a good time.
Not sure how much of the wackiness is intentional, heh... But I know things have barely gotten weird yet. Just trying to murder a guy with a unique mask to avoid incriminating evidence, why not
PS: Mumen Rider is pretty cool. He's not my favorite but I love his dedication and humility, it's truly inspiring.
