Yes, giving it a horrible dub and not advertising it at all will do that to an anime.
It's silly to say something "won't sell" when the demand is clearly there from the views that these shows pull on sites like Crunchyroll. By that logic, Kill la Kill and Attack on Titan's western releases should be bombing right now.

Also not telling people about the missing second opening & second and third endings was another factor.

Digitally, the last volume of Phantom Blood was released this week on Viz's digital site, and Battle Tendency was announced to start in March digitally, though it may be delayed a bit since the last volume of Phantom Blood seemed late getting online. |
Ah. I see. I personally like having physical copies of stuff, so I didn't think about that. I knew the volumes were released earlier digitally, too, but I didn't put 2+2 together.
