It's not the number of animes that matter here.. a large number of anime fans are the type that casually picks up anything 'hot' and 'current' in the season. Many of them wouldn't even bother searching for an anime that had been released in like... more than 4 years, among hundreds of others (with some of them possibly having better ratings).
