So why are you trolling this thread then? Aside from your comment which brings nothing to this thread, discussion-wise or otherwise, know that the source here is a distinct older visual novel originally released in 2007. Unless they had a time machine back then I very much doubt it's simply aping current trends... Depending how they manage the production and script, this has promise... |

I dunno man, it seems to be pretty popular among the English-speaking VN crowd: https://vnrw.wordpress.com/2016/01/22/most-desired-visual-novel-translation/ I'm interested to check it out based on word-of-mouth alone. |

I'm curious about something:
I've been told that anime are produced on a weekly basis. Instead of completing the animation before show premiers, they animate one episode then air it, and so on and so forth. But that bit of info doesn't gel with how they announce a project so far ahead of time. So do they animate the whole thing before the premiere? How does that work? |

I have to add the source for this is considered one of the better (if not the best) VNs about battles and chuuni stuff. Most fans of this kind of VNs think it's better than F/SN (I mentioned F/SN, because it's another chuuni VN with a good reputation. Also it's the most famous franchise thanks to the various shows and movies)
Of course, a good source doesn't mean the show'll be good. Many VN adaptations in the past serve as proof that you can have a great VN adapted into a bad show. But at least the source is strong, so this already has that in it's favour. Now it's all up to the anime team to not mess up and to make something that won't sully DI's name |

You cannot animate, score, and record an entire 20-something minute episode in a week. That's ridiculous. Generally speaking, many episodes of any given TV anime are all being worked on at the same time and take months to complete. That's why different episodes of the same show may have different animators and even writers, with it being the directors job to keep everything consistent. Of course, each company and animation team is different, so the process varies, but pre-production itself usually takes a few months, which is why some shows are announced so early. And while they'll get started working on, and probably finish, the earliest episodes before the show airs, anime are notorious for being produced under a time crunch. This is why later episodes of shows may see a dip in animation quality that often needs to be fixed for the home video release, as well as why some shows may be hit with delays for their final few episodes. Production for each episode is generally staggered to ideally have each episode done before it's broadcast, but the airdate often catches up with them, and at that point you either air what you've got, or delay it and pull a bunch of all-nighters to get it done for the following week. So while they may rush an episode to finish it within a week, they most certainly did not produce the entire thing during that week alone. |

No, that's not accurate at all. There is a bit of variation for sure, but most projects have multiple teams working on different episodes simultaneously. The production on the series can sometimes start as early as a year and a half or more before the show airs. Pre-production, and things like developing the general story and setting can happen over the course of several years. Kiznaiver, as a concept, was original thought up in 2012, for example. Generally, production on a single episode will take anywhere from 3-6 months. You should check out Shirobako, if you haven't. That'll help get a lot of the basics out of the way. 
Here's a really handy chart from that show that breaks it down nicely(Really sorry about the size, the only smaller versions I could find were so small that it was hard to see what anything said):

I enjoyed the Arise OVAs, so if the final product is in the same vein I can't really complain.
Light are placing most if not all of their chips into this adaptation, so if it's not successful that might be terminal for their continued existence. Considering the announcement on steam that the all-ages version in English is getting a release, the two adaptations together and the resulting revenue will determine the outcome of this gamble. |

A 12/18/15 ANN article called "Dies irae Adult Visual Novel Gets 2017 TV Anime Series Adaptation" mentioned that the TV series was planned to be least 14 episodes. Had they used Kickstarter then they could have gotten a lot more money which means they could have sped up the release date.
