It's probably just for series that wouldn't do well otherwise. All four of those series aren't what I would call...uh, good. And they aren't that popular either.
Edit: Actually, let me take that back. The Lost Village is in the "so bad it's good" category. I guess it wasn't that popular during its simulcast, but I still wonder if it would do good if it was marketed as a B-movie... |
I really wish they would do a Ghost Stories-esque dub for this show. It would sell like crazy.

Can't believe someone would ask this. The show was such a stinker I can't imagine anyone wasting any more time on it. I will buy it to hate-watch in perpetuity but not for more than $10. Someone might just buy Lost Village if it's $5 or less but not me. It was so bad, it was a waste of time (and I saw all of it too). Not even ironically funny like B.O.

Shows like this remind me that I can never predict what anime fans are going to like. For example, I adored Action Heroine Cheer Fruits, and was bewildered when its existence was almost completely ignored, and I thought the ending of Akuma no Riddle was absolutely perfect, and was then shocked when it was pretty heavily trashed online. This show was kind of the opposite, though: I knew from the outset that I wasn't going to enjoy it, and dropped it after the first episode, but at the time I legitimately thought that it was going to be a success among the SHAFT-loving, "every frame is a deliberate and meaningful directorial choice" crowd. I was pretty surprised when almost everyone ended up disliking it as much as I did.

A good chunk of that could be because it was on HiDive - which, NAICT, still isn't widely used. Their lack of apps for common viewing devices isn't helping any.

I heard that this show is supposed to have terrible subs, is it?

ThEse and Amazon are US only, or at least not available in the UK.

They should just honestly put out the home video release. I know people who legitimately enjoyed/would purchase The Lost Village but are unlikely to purchase digital copies off Amazon/iTunes.

What exactly constitutes “terrible subs”? I’ve heard people apply this term just because they didn’t like the specific shade of white that was being used. I didn’t watch all of it, but I didn’t notice any aggregious typos and you can chose your subtitle color on HiDive.
