Anime Production Staff
x Producers
o Anime production staff (or just plainly, staff)
I see this misusage frequently on these forums.
Producers are the people that go around looking and obtaining sponsors to develop an anime. They are the ones that do the dealings with TV stations, agree to time slots, appease sponsors, set up a staff team for anime, etc. etc. They are NOT the ones who sit down and draw genga or sakuga. Basically, they are the ones that give birth to an anime project to start in the first place - hence the name "producer."
The directors, writers, editors, genga and sakuga artists, composers, music and sound recorders, QCers, and douga process personnel - basically all the people that actually do the work to make the anime itself are known as anime production staff. The staffs are the ones that does the actual animation and recording work to bring you the anime onto the TV screen (well, in your people's case - the computer screen).
Please make a note of it. There's a big difference between a "producer" and a staff.
