Just to add... even with anime getting positive reviews it won't even be much of a boost. I never see someone going "wow, this animay is good, I'll play the game!" in my entire life, because most of the time people take it the other way around, the anime is made to cater to the existing fanbase. As in, "man, it feels like you can only appreciate this thing by playing the game, which I don't wanna". People don't want to do two things to appreciate a single form of media.

Has this way of promoting actually ever been proven successful to raise some sales? Pokemon got anime, ppl didn't pay attention to it. P4 got anime, a horrible one at that, sales were still as high because gameplay. Atelier got an anime... nothing changes.
