Would anyone happen to know how long the average production time of an episode from start to finish?
Now that I think about it, I think the real danger zone is when the distance between the manga and the episodes are almost equal or less than the production time of an episode. I'm guessing maybe 3 months to produce an episode?

"There are an average of three hundred shots in a roughly 22-minute tv episode, but only about one month is allotted to complete the animation for the entire episode from start to finish."
