Well being 26 episodes actually helps it, I would think. The networks wouldn't know how boys - the main demographic for that kind of show - would react to a series about girly-girls fighting cute little battles with pretty dolls. And they don't know how girls would react to a series like that either. Having just 26 episodes means that even if it ends up flopping, they can just chalk it up as a learning experience and move on. If it's a success, they clean up with the merchandise and pave the way for a more shoujo series. Either way it won't be a case of them licensing 300 episodes and only showing 10 or so, leaving the few fans longing for more.
