I know that this is already asked before in [How long does producing a cour
take?](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/5599/how-long-does-producing-
a-cour-take)

But I assume that it's only related to the seasonal anime that appear once per
season (except when it already has a sequel).

Does the production of the long run anime series like _One piece_ , _Bleach_ ,
_HunterxHunter_ , _Naruto_ , _Toriko_ , and _Detective Conan_ take the same
amount of time?

I think this question is different from the question I mentioned before. As it
only covers cours.

How long does the producing of long run anime take?


I believe the actual production is similar except multiple processes work
simultaneously in a never ending kind of way. The following image illustrates
my point in a super simplistic manner. The workflow is enhanced/compressed as
needed typically.

Hence all the steps are the same. but instead the writing team has to adapt to
source material pacing and accordingly adjust. The enhanced workload in a long
running anime may be the reason that we witness subpar animation unlike movies
or short cour anime. As shown in the anime Shirabako ([Production
Schedule](https://i.stack.imgur.com/5UKll.jpg)) each episode can take months
to be ready!

I would like to add that the hectic schedule, messy pacing and need for breaks
has what transformed traditional long running anime series to being released
over multiple seasons like JoJo and Boku no Hero . ([Why is it so rare to see
new long running anime series these
days?](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/34250/why-is-it-so-rare-to-
see-new-long-running-anime-series-these-days/34255#34255))

Will try to find a relevant example schedule, but didn't turn up much on the
first search. Cheers!
