Well, this is not proven, but I think I have enough knowledge to say this is pretty accurate. Basically, by the time of DxD season 3, TNK and the other production companies already know the series is a very profitable IP, hence, just like what tends to happen with popular movie franchises. they essentially said "We're gonna get a shit-ton of money out of this yes-or-yes just due to the name. If so, then why even put more money and manpower into it? Let's just do the bare minimum to get the episodes out so we maximize our profit". DxD has made so much money that it kept an almost bankrupt studio like TNK afloat pretty much single-handedly, so it kinda makes sense that they took this path for BorN... If you lack any kind of foresight, that is. The lack of foresight is what caused DxD to be moved over to Passione, which means that in the grand scheme of things, TNK lost its life-support. I'm gonna go ahead and do a prediction just for fun. TNK will go bankrupt in the next year or 2 unless they get hold of some wildly popular series to adapt. And that would give my previous hypothesis a lot more weight, I think.

TL;DR: TNK knew they would get money out of BorN regardless of quality so they didn't put money or manpower into it.
