I believe that six to twelve hours per day is the typical time consumed for afureko sessions in the studio. Furthermore, with a very large production budget coming from a very important customer, they have to work extensively on the show's first 12 episodes, with genga dirty work, motion-capture and 3DCG, tests and revisions, and possibly the songs and music that would be included... which means they don't want to mess this one up. -------------- Watched Aquarion EVOL and first two episodes were great and entertaining. If its quality is an indication, then I'll be expecting this new show to equal or maybe even top EVOL. -------------- It dawned upon me as to why the senbatsu had succession numbers. Quote:

Lol, tidbits reported from the ACE AKB0048 corner (I'd watch it but region lock...):
Spoiler:
Again, approximate translation, do correct me if you can tell I'm wrong and don't blame me if anything ambiguous starts a storm, etc. Surely I don't sound traumatized from a previous experience. - They wanted to remove Okada Mari from the AKB0048 staff because the production is running late on Aquarion EVOL, and she got really mad. But it sounds like they gave her the AKB0048 job after making the promise that EVOL wouldn't be running late... and it is. Oh man. - Sounds like she's been struggling to manage to find a way to make 9 songstresses shine as opposed to 1-2 in a series like Macross. - Kawamori wanted to get all the AKB48 members to get seiyuu gigs here, but the plan fell through.

Looks like it's going to be a real hard job for her with a headache, I mean for her it's completely unprecedented, but the pressure is on, especially with Akimoto waiting (along with the big payout). She screws this up, they'll get another pro.

*shrug* Maybe they are now & they were actually talking about early AKB0048 production days, since I doubt they'd throw in the idea of getting rid of Okada just one month before the anime starts? I can't really tell from those few bullet points which is why I wanted to listen to the talk show myself. :/ Well, this was pretty surprising to read regardless, considering EVOL doesn't actually look like the production is/was severely running behind schedule, based only on the art and animation - on the other hand, the AKB0048 schedule did indeed sound more chaotic judging from what Thomas Romain had to say on Catsuka.
With that said, they've pulled off Symphogear pretty well considering how terrible he made the entire thing sound (I was seriously expecting SHAFT levels of trouble by the end which were somehow avoided...), so I'm sure both Satelight shows running this spring will be fine.

Anyhow, if I had my way, I'd like to tell Okada to try at least watching the girls' live performances, and if possible do some one-on-one interviews with both senbatsu and kenkyusei about their experiences, to get a very good idea on how best to maximize the potential of the characters onscreen.

Maybe Okada absolutely wanted to work on this because she's an AKB48 fan?

Well, we have some bad news and good news.
First, this one's from Yaraon (source), a survey table regarding initial impressions on PVs shown for the current spring releases: While I'm impressed with Fate/Zero and wanting more, seems that the figures for this show are giving us a doubtful picture, but once again we'll never know what'll happen on airing day. On the other hand, the pics are probably from ACE2012:

Based from Romain's tidbits, it'll be roughly 13 episodes for the first installment, with another 13 episodes planned... assuming they don't screw up.
Edit: fixed.

Sad about the PV impression rating ;__;
man if this anime fail then aki p is going to lose alot of money...even tho the group made like 255 million last year. AKB48 is already a big name so people might be interested but you can't keep people interest long if the anime look bad. The production is looking pretty chaotic :O hope this turn out well. Splitting the season up will definitely help the production team out.

True but the pressure to make AKB0048 good is much higher than her past anime. Not only is AKB is the national idol who's extremely popular, but the government is using their image to help bring back tourism to Japan for example this bus in Singapore
If this anime turn out bad, it might affect their image and AkiP is probably paying the production staffs in gold bricks so there's more need to make this a good or at least not a horrific car crash.
