Would you rather have anime every 1.5-2 weeks for better animation quality?

Wait, WHAT?! I was under the impression that this was done MONTHS prior to the intial airing dates. You're telling me that they do ALL this work on a weekly basis? No fucking wonder the quality on so many of these shows are shit; it sounds like an extremely inefficient process.

It's like doing all the filming and editing for a TV show like Hannibal in between episodes, it's just stupid and it doesn't work. Can someone please give more details about the process, cause I'm honestly doubting that they do all of this in between episodes.

Production on the episodes starts 6-12 months before the first episode airs. Then they try to complete all the episodes in time for their broadcast dates. Making an episode in a week is probably flat-out impossible.

Wait. I think it is possible. This is a lot of work but when you dim it down its simple. Most anime is based off manga so storyboards & voice scripts should be easier,
then comes the key animators who draw key frames
Then the inbewteeners who fill the animation frames
Color it in
framesvoice acting
Dubbing.
7 days... With good planing and scheduling it can work out.

Rofl wot? It's hard to make a mistake story wise because all they do is base it off the manga.. I meant correcting loose drawings, adding special gfx If they have have the time..

You forgot checking the animation frames for quality and consistency and correcting them, drawing the backgrounds, compositing the animation with the backgrounds and other elements such as visual effects, adding sound and music, and probably various other things.

Depends on content of episode.
This gintama episode rofl.. Still frame on an old man for almost the whole ep. Very suttle movements, dubbing only one character. Tots doable along with recap episodes but yeah, probably 1.5-2weeks goes into other anime but we don't know that. To us it seems like a week. An extra couple of days to finish and double check seems cool.

Not in the story, but in the drawing. This is only a supposition though, but I guess that once the coloring, voicing is done, it might be hard to go back to the original draw to fix something. They do it when the anime gets adapted in DVD/Blu-ray but they have more time IMO. And what I'm saying is that if the time required to do a whole recheck is over 2 weeks, I think that's a bit too much. I mean, if you look at Shirobako, you can see that a small mistake could lead at some really big consequences to air the anime in time.

Also, people are saying that episodes takes a lot of time to be aired for the monogatari series, but the thing is, this serie is mostly based on the original/creative artstyle. Which is definitely not the main purpose of other animes and in both cases, that's ok with me.
