I think Boku wa tomdachi wa sukunai is currently the most popular LN series running without an anime, I think Vol 6 can push a 100,000 opening week which is something Infinite Stratos needed a smash hit anime to achieve. OreNo Vol 8 just did a 150k opening week and I think Boku can surpass that once the anime is out.

I read whispering about A-1 pictures

Why would A-1 Pictures owned by Aniplex a subsidiary of Sony animate a Media Factory production? It's a good fit with the right team on it but it just doesn't work out.
