Just because something is veaguly similar to some random anime does not make it a huge ripoff. :P I garentee you somewhere there's some tv show that's had one of their main characters possesed by a spirt and turn evil, but that doesn't make Season 5 a ripoff.

Also, we know very little about the plot for season 8 except the basic outline, so to call it a ripoff just because the outline of this season sounds like the outline of a manga/anime seems a bit of a reach. :P
