And yeah, I'm sure Nasu and them are happy to also put some time and effort into something that's successful too. But you may have noticed that, unlike a regular manga or novel or game title where they're releasing stuff to try and push both the sales of the original product on top of whatever adaptation they're making, these things are getting adaptations years later. Rakkyo three years after the novels were released to a wide audience. Zero was four years. Apocrypha three. Extra seven. It's almost as if they have successes elsewhere and then decide to devote time and resources in other endeavors, the crazies.No, there is no direct correlation like some people think where if x thing is popular then its funding trickles down to other properties and inject them with capital. Not directly, no. But when a company in this industry (or really, in a lot of entertainment industry companies that aren't, like, EA) is successful, surprise, they're usually more likely to be okay with greenlighting other projects because now they actually have the luxury to, rather than having to be far far more concerned with making y project also hit else failing to pay the bills when they come. And the people not-Type Moon, whether its a bank or a production company or game company or publishing company or whatever is going to also be less hesitant to get involved if they have current financial upswing and a proven track record. That's, like, business 101 there.
