Someone want to explain to me why they wait until like the last possible moment to animate these shows instead of getting it done ahead of time and not having their animators working long, stressful hours? And I'm not talking about just this show, from what I understand this is a standard practice. I recall that an incomplete Attack on Titan episode was aired on some tv stations.

Because there isn't any spare time generally. From the moment an anime gets a green light announcement to when it comes out, especially a show like this where they actually needed to hold idol contests to find the girls, they can't start paying people to animate until they actually know things are going ahead... there are just so many steps, they had to work hard to get the move out AT THE SAME TIME so they are just beat. Small studio working triple time as the movie is basically 2 episodes and it came out at the same time as the first episode.
That and animation is never really done. You just have to call it at some point. Even after they showed the movie in the theaters and the episodes on TV they fix it until the DVDs start coming out next month.
Just takes a long time to do the character designs, refine them, come up with the stories, the storyboards, the animation for it is the last step, the absolute last step so any changes to stuff upstream means throwing away work that's already been done. Hence the hectic schedule. And why some stuff ends up getting delayed...

Always makes me think of Animation Runner Kuromi and that one episode of Paranoia Agent with the guy delivering the Maromi video when I see something like this.

This explanation is interesting, but it seems like they'd still give themselves an extra season of lead time. I wonder how much of it is creators never being satisfied.
