@xXSanjiXx:
I remember hearing somewhere that animation took around 6 months to make(not sure). But with recent technology advances, I guess some time shorter than that.
it used to take like 6 months per episode in the past because everything was hand drawn and all the new anime is digitally animated now so it takes way less time. each southpark episode takes about a week to do so i'm wondering if an anime takes around the same time. since one piece is more detailed i think it might be more time but then again the anime might have way more people making the anime than south park.
@goty:
Toei Animation only has access to new chapters when Jump is released, AFAIK it's not like Oda go and send them in advance. So the anime situation has nothing to do with his schedule.
i don't know about that. toei is paying a crapload of royalties to shonen jump and oda so i expect them to cooparate with them and give them the chapters as soon as the mangaka is done with them.
