Quote:Are you going to follow up on your plan to go straight to DW5, as you said you would in the Kodocha thread or, because AMG *might* (and I rather doubt it) be still continuing, are you moving on to the Eva walk?You don't have to take the continued publication of AMG on faith. Just pick up the current "Afternoon" for the latest chapter at the japanese bookstore of your choice. Or visit Amazon.co.jp who have the latest Tankoban listed as having been published three days ago. (ISBN: 4063211541)
As for future installments: variety is the spice of life. With BGC we had one adventure full of explosions and cyberpunk and life-and-death stuff. A bit of Shoujo might balance that quite nicely.
I agree that DW probably won't mix very well with all types of Manga/Anime (What would Doug do in 'Hikaru No Go' for example), but I think that the range of genres that would work is far greater than just SciFi/Fantasy stuff.
Things like Doug as an educator in "Great Teacher Sangnoir" or, if there have to be action and explosions, something like "The Gunsmith Cats meet Riding Loon" could also be made to work.
But what I really would like to see at some point would be some sort of Crime/Detective step. "Meitantei Doug" or something like that. There are so many Great Detectives or Phantom Thieves out there, it would be shame if Doug did not run into one on his adventures.
