You're probably right about the budget thing, but Blu-ray and DVD sales aren't the only thing that are considered in whether an anime is profitable or not. As I understand it those sales are usually not the big profit driver anyways - an anime adaptation is often meant to boost sales of the original source material. It could be that there was a sufficient boost. Ratings and ad revenue may also factor in. They are putting it in a late night timeslot, and given it's a Seinen manga that's a time the target demographic would be available to watch.
