Bummer. It's complete...I really only know much about the earlier parts of the story; it's the latter parts I'd like to get. I think Tokyopop never got to finish either though, as I don't think I ever saw a release past Volume 29.
I know I mentioned before that I'm afraid of scratches (even with screen protectors, the scratches would make using them more difficult and the image quality worse), but I do wonder why this is such a minor concern for people. Do people have a special place on their person they keep smartphones? EVERYTHING I keep on me seems to get destroyed if they get anywhere in the vicinity of my keys. |

These day's I've entered into a subculture of the subculture anime. Back then I got into anime because it did stuff American cartoons weren't doing, and now I'm getting into the anime that American anime fans don't gush over because it does stuff that anime isn't doing. Stuff like Pretty Cure and Detective Conan, shows that aren't just fighting shonen like Naruto, DBZ, One Piece and Attack on Titan which seems to be the only thing that people hype up over here every year. I mean I still like those shows and junk, but my preference is the stuff the american mainstream don't talk about. Which is funny because PreCure and Conan are just as if not more mainstream than the fighting shonen stuff in Japan.
The whole "Japan isn't technology advanced" thing is a bit misleading and something I see people here say a lot. Yeah, they didn't have smartphones as early as America did, but like people said their old phones were way more advanced than ours for the longest time so a smartphone wasn't as big deal compared to us. Hell, back in the early 00s they used their old cellphones to go online with Gameboy games like Pokemon, which was a feature left out of the US version because our cellphone couldn't do that back then. It all depends on your perspective and what you consider technological advanced. |

If you want to see people using phones with 1seg in an anime, I recommend Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. Those of us following that show when it aired were impressed that they could watch television on a phone. This was in 2012 when streaming to smartphones really hadn't taken off in the US.
There was a thread revived here just the other day about Tezuka's Hidamari no Ki which won the Shogakukan Award when it was released in 1984. There are just four translated anime episodes floating around in the ether, which is a shame because it tells a great story about Tezuka's own ancestor who fought to practice "Dutch medicine" despite opposition from the Shogunate. |

Is One Piece comparable to the other three? As a One Piece fan, I follow information regarding the franchise pretty closely, and I always felt that, even with its current growth in popularity, it still trails far behind the likes of Naruto or Attack on Titan. I personally think it's because it doesn't look exotic enough. One Piece's look is strongly influenced by western animation, so to some extent, it resembles the shows that these people are trying to stay away from.
I'm guessing there's some kind of touch screen lock with these things so that it doesn't register everything coming into contact with it as an input...? My old slide phone doesn't have such a thing, so if I put it against me, it'll constantly go off and sometimes even open up the browser on its own, as it has the buttons exposed even when closed. This phone also has a permanently dark spot on its screen because something pushed against it really hard (likely me and something heavy, or when I fell over, or something). Smartphones always felt really fragile to me. I'd be less hesitant for one if it could fold so nothing delicate is exposed. And if the rates were lower. For the same reason, I'd carry my 3DS around everywhere (and even then I have a pouch to put it in), but if I got a PS Vita, I wouldn't know where to put it if I go outside. |

If you are serious then please research android and Ios phones. The ignorance and conjecture in this thread is comedy at this point.
Reminds me of the people that still subscribe to AOL cause they don't want to lose their E-Mail address. Heartbreaking. Truly If you don't know what "root" or "super user" means then you might want to stick with the past and keep using those flip phones. The leap might be too much. The 3DS touch screen is cheapy. New age touch screens or phablet screens don't have visible lining like the DS,DSi, 3DS, XL and Wii U clearly have. (I've made a thousand pieces of art on the miiverse, the Wii U screen doesnt hold up.) |

Tokyopop only ever released 10 volumes of Cyborg 009 (I know, I got them all!) and didn't do any of the other titles that Comixology has like Kikaider.

I could swear I've seen volumes up to at least 19 on store shelves of Cyborg 009.
Good, because I don't. (Well, as far as technology terms go anyway.) When I interned at a movie studio, I unintentionally became their tech support person, as I was the only one who knew how to reliably work a printer, burn DVDs, and change the settings on their photocopier. I never considered myself tech-savvy, but I was apparently the only one who wasn't computer-illiterate there. |

They did do Skullman, though. |

Essentially. A lot of people avoid One Piece because they thought the art looked too "kiddy"; I used to do it, too. |

I know what both of those terms mean, yet I fail to see how it has any relevance whatsoever to smartphones and one's opinion of them. |

They did a modern remake of Skullman by a disciple; Comixology has the original. |
