I would love to hear your explanation for why
House of Five Leaves and
Shiki bombed, as both series primarily focus on adults. Is it a question of quality - you simply don't hold them in the same high regard some of us do? Certainly tastes do vary - but I think the critical consensus is that both shows were excellent. If not quality, why? It can't be because there are too many kids.

Are we really talking about the middle school demographic with NoitaminA, even when it was drawing higher ratings? I hardly think so. I think there's an assumption that the target NoitaminA viewer is more capable of enjoying a series about people different from them than a middle schooler.
I don't agree with you about Oreimo, BTW, but that's a topic for another thread...
