Theres no way this is gonna be airing on daytime TV from what I know about this series. And even then, that timeslot is more of a fujoshi focused timeslot... Ao no Exorcist, Fullmetal Alchemist, Kuroko no Basket, Magi, Gundam Age, etc. I don't see this show really appealing to the female fanbase.

Right channel, wrong timeslot for Kuroko...as for your other points, we'll just have to agree to disagree. I just think that with the large install base the series already has it's very unlikely to be a flop if it's done right.

Honestly, I think its best bet would be something like Noitamina. They don't seem shy away from showing lots of gore on it with Psycho-Pass, and its more mainstream oriented than your normal late night TV slot.

Otakus have shown time and time again to not like horror and gory anime, so I don't see why this would be the exception. |
DVD sales aren't the only metric of success. Chihayafuru isn't from an otaku-friendly genre, the home video sales stank, but the publisher considered it a success because manga sales went from 150,000 copies per volume before the anime aired, to almost 400,000 afterwards. If Attack on Titan ends up one of the top 10 series next year, there'll be a second season even if the DVDs sell four copies.

Welp there's now a domain name for "Shingeki.tv" and Pony Canon registered it so I think that pretty much confirms this=Project Attack
