Most of the staff is remaining the same, JC just has more resources to devote to anime like OPM. Madhouse (from what I've read) is focusing on a few anime, while OPM was probably one of the most popular anime out there it's not the kind of anime Madhouse usually kills, they tend to focus on more serious stuff. OPM is purely commedy so you could say that it's not exactly their forte either. Not to mention Madhouse is a pretty small company overall, and if you pay attention OPM has A-LOT of very important characters, making their staffing requirements much, much larger and Madhouse just isn't built for that, they try to play down a large number of characters as well as they can but with this show, where important characters are as common as bg characters (almost literally) it's extremely hard without completely ommitting entire story archs, or changing the flow of the anime, which would lead to this being called a disaster. Personally I don't think this is going to be a huge change, the orriginal staff will be there and Madhouse will probably help out here and there to make sure that the transition as as unnoticeable as possible.

I personally agree with the transition, instead of attempting something that will put a huge strain on them and take away form other anime they just hand it to someone who can handle it and make sure that it goes over smoothly.
