Maybe they could market pokespe in that same category of "adult animation", probably is still that it has a lot of volumes, they seem to prefer one-and-done kind of stuff, maybe because it's easier to ask for big studios to just do one small project, rather than dedicating their whole workforce for years on end trying to adapt the whole manga.
Unlikely? Yes, but not impossible.
