The Gaist Crusher franchise started in 2013 with the anime launching shortly before the source material, 2013's Gaist Crusher from Capcom and Treasure. I suppose it did have Gaist Crusher God last year and the anime went on for a year, so I'd call it based on when it started. There wasn't a gap in the airing.

Shame that the series didn't do well anyway. For any importers who are interested, the Gaist Crusher games are pretty darn good (though I've only played God's demo so far) and you should buy Gaist Crusher God as it packs in both games with better mechanics. It isn't up to the level of Monster Hunter 4(G/Ultimate) in scale or even E.X. Troopers but still a brilliant gem from Capcom.

The anime? I only watched 3 episodes. Not a good one from what I can tell, at least the opening(s?) (which is shared by the games) is good. Hero Bank honestly has a much better show despite me not looking the mechanics of the game series' demos very much.

With Yokai Watch thriving, I'm sure SEGA will have to figure something out with Hero Bank or face caving in like with Gaist Crusher this year.

Majin Bone was an anomaly as Bandai Namco never released a game demo or much material to promote the game, so despite it also looking sort of interesting, I can't really care about it going away. The other series I'm mentioning have multiple games and at least one demo.
