are you guys insane? The anime has had terrible management for the last 3 seasons, and the management before that was already in a decline. The ashime was inevitably going to collapse under its own weight, these writers and directors weren't talented enough to keep a several decade long show running like the other big names do.
Maybe it could come as a surprise that it'd happen now, but this was inevitable. Especially with this terrible spike in power level that happened the last two seasons. There's no recovering from that without wiping the slate clean.
