They did that already. It ran for 100 episodes from 2020 to 2022 and is the most consistently good looking longrunning TV anime ever made. They specifically made sure to advertise the fuck out of it on CR, got a deal to have the dub on BBC's iPlayer to indoctrinate the kids, and got it licensed by Netflix after it finished airing (all episodes being simulcasted to CR).
Nobody gave a shit and it bombed outside Japan.
