It's the usual sudden fame burnout. All artists, especially those who deal with military and moe otaku (and hybrids) experience that at some point in their lives. It's because mil-ota and moe-ota types are the most dangerously obsessive and aggressively-inclined of all the otaku species.

The funniest burnout was Kawamori's 2000-2003 membership in some weird cult amid his sudden obsession in animating Miyazawa Kenji's works. Thankfully he got better, but the 10,000 years of love theme we see in Aquarion and Nobunaga the Fool harkens back to his cult days. Maybe Konishi will set up his own church of the goddess Haruna or join in if there's already one.
