Why wasn't NG Life ever animated?

You know, you are right. By far it's better than Fruits Basket, but never popular enough because of it at the time. I don't know how the industry thinks in this regard, but it always ends adapting the utterest shits from shoujo manga, and as far as I can see, shoujos (at least those remotely good) have problems being published even as manga series. For example, Shiawase kissa sanchoume was very enjoyable, had a nice premise, was very successful in introducing and developing the extended cast - yet, the central story was horribly dragged, then rushed, and made obvious from the very beginning. The series got a CD drama or something for making itself popular enough, but this seemed to be everything the industry was willing to offer.
The same with Motomi Kyousuke's works, which I find extremely good and amusing, yet - Beast Master, idk, took a live-action or something, when an anime can make all of her works insanely popular (if done right) and perhaps improve the standard for animated shoujos. For the life of me I can't understand why Vampire Knight was even published, when MeruPrui could be much more entertaining as anime. Not to mention manga series like Tokyo Crazy Paradise, Mekakushi no Kuni, and Cat Street, which are among my favorites. Perhaps because all of them are finished series and need not to boost, milk, and rip anything more from the Japanese girls, investing in adaptations either would be a slim profit margin or waste on the source .

NG Life isn't perfect, but it's funny, curious, and not cheesy. While connecting different worlds is not something unheard of in shoujo manga, the events in the past world might look too dramatic and mature for a shoujo. The current level is the adaptation of Arata Kangatari, and, man, this is just horrible.
