The series has to succeed first with regards to the usual DVD/BR sales expectations. It's kind of a cascade effect: good pre-order levels and sustained sales give a higher chance of getting licensed outside of Japan, though sometimes good fan-feedback can be a factor as well. Sales juggernaut
Madoka Magica aside,
Working!! and
Ikamusume also come to mind, with the latter actually getting
dubbed (surprise!) on top of getting licensed.
Bottom line, the series has to sell. Everything else will usually fall into place after that.
