Just wondering after learning how long American cartoons take. Most take long as months or days (South Park).
Depends on it. Hetalia is around 5 minutes long, while others like assasination classroom are around 30 minutes, so the time needed to make them are vastly different. It also depends on whether it is CG or not, how much conversations are going on, what kind of music and if there is a new character or not. The experience of said studio is also important, because the more experience they have, the amount of mistakes and retakes will be lessend. It is safe however to assume that most episodes will take about the same amount of time as their releases, but some make their episodes before the first episode has been released. So there isn't a good answer to this question, but just assume something like five or seven days, if they are about 30 minutes long.
It truly depends on what's being done and what you mean by make. do you mean each episode, which would take a week or so. or do you mean make the characters, concept, and story which I don't know but I assume this can take months to years, due to the fact they have to make everything going in 3D space (as a amateur 3D designer I know the pain and time it takes). as well as several other things such as the amount of members working on it, how well do they work together, are they from a big company which likely means more efficient and many other things which can make it vary by a extreme amount.
first, to get rid of tons of peoples misconceptions, most anime and cartoons are not 30 minutes long. most if not all are 25 minutes or less, usually being 23 minutes and 40 seconds. the rest of the time is commercials. second, production wise, most if not all companies gather a bulk of episodes to air each week.
... it takes much longer than a week to produce an anime episode. xD It's more along the length of a month to several months. In fact, large animes have multiple teams working in parallel. Several teams work on Naruto for example, with more expensive high-quality teams working on some key episodes and lesser studios working on fillers. Here, an overview of the production process: https://washiblog.wordpress.com/201...o-how-anime-is-made-and-the-talent-behind-it/ Here's a graph of one anime's production schedule, from here: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=124919 Spoiler
It takes a lot longer than a month to make a single episode of the Simpsons. Even more so for Anime. It all depends on how much sleep time the studio's sla-... *ehem* ...animators sacrificed.
Oh! In the case of the Simpsons, it seems to be about 5 months per episode: https://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/Production South Park manages to produce an episode in just a week though, but then again, that's South Park, I doubt most people want to just produce episodes that look like South Park...
No game no life took 3 years to be aired, heard it on AFA, some animes/animation can either took longer or shorter than that tho...
I think you are mistaken. The novel came out in 2012 of April and the anime two years later 2014 of April. Actually two weeks shy of two years. It certainly didn't get picked up for a Anime in volume one, so it was made and released in less than two years.
That's likely because one of four reasons, The first is they're so out of ideas they literally have nothing left. The second is they're just staffed and can't. The third, they're fucking around for most of the year. The animation style of the simpsons is pretty bad/simple. The people doing it should know how to do episodes quickly by this point. Lastly, the studio could be just delaying release to increase interest. The show is mostly dead and delaying could increase viewers.
