Has Black Lagoon Fallen Off?

I don't mean in the sense of the art or story quality dropping. What I'm wondering is has the inconsistent production/release schedule kneecapped the series' popularity. We haven't had a new anime season or OVA since Roberta's Blood Trail ended in 2011. And for the longest time there hasn't been enough volumes of material to adapt into a full anime season. (That could've changed by now, but who knows?)
From what I can tell Black Lagoon was probably at the peak of its popularity while the manga was on a consistent schedule with the anime airing alongside it.
I understand that Rei Hiroe has clinical depression (I have it too and understand how emotionally crippling it can be) and I don't want his comic to take precedence over his health. That'd be inhumane. I'm just curious as to how the lack of new material has effected the popularity of the franchise overall.

I think the unpredictable schedule certainly Detersivo new readers and makes existing ones more likely to drop the series.

Not being able to release more anime episodes also makes this series less known and talked about on a regular basis which is a pity because the story's very entertaining and enjoyable
