How are Adaptation Anime Made?
I've been wondering for a while, seeing how the vast, vast majority of anime coming out nowadays are adapted from some source material or another. So, how are they made? How is the decision made to make xxx series into an anime? And what people does it go through, etc.?
note: This is not a discussion on how animation is done. This will simply cover the journey from comic/book source material, to the final greenlight into an anime series. |

Just speculation, but the animation studios probably take the initiative here the majority of the time. I'd say if there's a manga or novel that's very popular or has the potential to sell units, then the studio contacts the publisher of the series of interest and offers to do an animated adaptation of the work. Negotiations follow, and if the publishers and/or original author accept the terms and vice-versa, then the collaboration is set to begin and an animated adaptation is green-lighted.
I could be wrong about the original author having any influence over the decision though. Perhaps sometimes once an author is serialized the publishers gain complete control over any business decisions to be made with the property.

This is the first part of a three-part series by ANN's Justin Sevakis on "The Anime Economy." It's a pretty good starting point.
