It's true that BlazBlue isn't some huge, spectacularly popular franchise like, say, Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest (or within Fighting games, Tekken or Street Fighter).

But it's still pretty popular, being one of the most well-known games of it's kind alongside Melty Blood and Guilty Gear, and far more popular on a worldwide scale than RWBY is. Hell, almost no one who talks about BBTAG even knows what RWBY is or even how it's pronounced (it's hard to find someone who pronounces RWBY "Ruby" and not "Er-ryu-bee").

And in both sales and critical reception, they eclipse Grimm Eclipse by miles for the most part. Otherwise, I doubt ArcSys could've made so much side-material for BlazBlue (manga, an anime, light novels, side-games, and so on. Do remember things are very expensive in Japan, to the point that importing things ends up being cheaper).
