So I was wandering how Kyoto animation can produce a passion project such as this with high quality production and still be profitable. I can understand with popular shows such as csm and demon slayer that they can be very profitable but how can Kyoto animation remain self sustaining while producing high quality shows that are not popular such as this one?

this is old but still relevant that Kyoto Animation is very profitable in Japan with a 90% success rate here https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2015-05-27/anime-studios-success-calculated-based-on-10-years-of-disc-sales/.88558

They're selling loads of merch to female fans in Japan. the female otaku culture is massive, I imagine there are TONS of doujinshi of these characters already, and the novels that the anime is adapted from were already pretty popular. They're still making bank on projects like this, which I appreciate because I love Tsurune and the fact it got a second season is awesome

They are one of the very few anime studios, that pay their employees regular wages, gives them vaxations and overall treats them like human beings. This greatly boosts their productivity, thus always deliver peak quality, which translates into profit.
Also, they sell a lot of merch and received a lot of donations after arson attack.

They lead the production and own the IP rights. They also publish the light novels and get a lot back from merchandise. I am sure they can budget reasonably well with the series given they have data based on previous sales and performance from both the first season and the recap film.

Also, donations relating to the arson attack were completely given to the staff members affected, and not accepted by the company itself.
