Well, Sex(or fanservice) sells.
But seriously, it is like a gamble risk when you want to bring over titles to the States. Sometimes, it because a big hit or even masterpiece-type like Mai-Hime, Onegai Teacher, and others even know that it wasnt the big thing in Japan, while others falls through the cracks and never get pick up.
Also you got to look at it for a public standpoint, if you going to bring titles like Kodomo no Jikan or like a School Days, you have to see if it is going to work or get people to buy the DVDs. We all know what happen when ANN was crying about KnJ manga, even know that it was a very good storyline behind it.
I think Toradora! falls into high-gamble risk, even know it is have a semi-large to large following, how it will do with other people that never have a chance to look at Fansubs or read the Japanese Novel. At the end, you might see a company like Funi or ADV(Sub) trying to pick this one up.
