I hated blazblu too, it was a shitty adaption. However, as you already know, it was just an advertisement ploy to get people to buy more merch and crap.
The anime only pandered to those who already knew what was going on with the story so of course that was obvious. I bet the anime would have been better if it wasn't just condensed into a couple of episodes, and expanded on the background and lore for newfags. Not only would that have made it a better series, but they could have recieved more sales on their games.
