    Although - unfortunately the series isn't very good. It's entertaining enough, certainly, but didn't live up to the promise of its predecessor, Kiddy Grade.

    I've begun looking for every video-game related anime I can find to satisfy my addiction, Log Horizon is helping somewhat but it's just not the same.

    I hate to break it to you ... but in many cases anime series are not extremely profitable, and exist for the sole purpose of generating hype for the manga/game/light-novel series that they are based on.

    I could quote a couple of examples - the most apparent being The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. People have been crying for years for a 3rd season ... but it's most likely not happening. Simply because sales of the DVD/BD sets weren't up to standard. Blade and Soul was nothing more than a promo for the Japanese release of the MMO.

    You have those that go the opposite way, of course ... where the DVD sales are so good that they exceed expectations and almost guarantee an additional season. Here you have the Monogatari series (2nd best sales for 2013 series), Attack on Titan (best selling series last year). But Attack on Titan became one of the best selling manga series last year, solely because the anime did what it was supposed to do.
