Well, except for the outsourcing of the actual animation, yes... TV stuff, at least.

I was wondering about how to the minute Japan animation is, b/c in America if voices aren't done by when final animation starts or the script changes when final animation is done, a whole lot of money and time has to be wasted to fix it, and the sponsors start thinking about stop paying. Moreso since final animation is done halfway across the world now, there's no room for changes.

I dont either. I was just wondering why Japan still use stuff like that when animation has so much more money and talent nowadays then back with Tezuka.

From what I'm reading in this thread, it seems to be mainly style and tradition more than anything else (excepting when studios do it to be way cheap or not finish stuff on time).
