What process does anime go through from manga to anime

Hi

I was wondering whether there is anyone on here who knows the process that goes from making a manga into an anime and how subbing is done for the anime. So basically what steps does an animation studio take to bring those scenes on paper into moving images and then how do they add the subs and what process does subbing go through. I know as far as subbing there are words like timing, encoding, and translation but I'm a little unsure on exactly what they mean.

From the commentary I've listened to for Family Guy apparently you draw it then run it through a machine which animates it. xD all I know though might be wrong

Making anime and adding subs are two completely different things, and subs are usually added by different people than the ones who made the anime. If you want to know how to put subs on a video, you'll need to talk to someone in a fansub group.

As for turning a manga into an anime, it generally involves the manga being very popular, thus creating demand for the anime series adaptation.

reading bakuman(manga) or REC will completely answer your question
Not about subbing though.

I'm sorry, was that supposed to be funny? That does not answer the question or help the situation at all.

A while back I would have agreed with you about the subs but now both Viz and Funimation are both starting to release at least Naruto and Fullmetal Alchemist and who knows what other anime subbed on their respective sites and as big as players as those two are I'm sure a lot of other people will follow their lead. I doubt companies like that would entrust the subbing to someone outside of their company and it should be easier for them since they do obviously need to have people skilled in japanese to english to make a dubbed episode otherwise how would they be able to write the scripts for the voice actors

I know the manga would need to be popular obviously. What I was asking was how do they go from taking scenes in a manga and making them into an anime. Do they use some machine or a certain type of software to do it or is it like where you draw a bunch of different pictures of the scene and just flip through them really fast. I did that once in elementary school and its the closest I can think of making a drawn scene look like its moving.

As far as I know, initially they have to draw each and every movement of the character in different papers. Then scan each into the computer, flip them fast and they would make something like a GIF, then they insert the background, the softwares are used to beutify the picture drawn etc or add effects.

computers are used to ease things up, but they need the source from drawing and still use the "flip real fast" theory.

After the animation is done, they sent it for voicing.

ye know, i've always wondered how they make animations for anime and such. Considering in one scene theres fuckloads of movements and such, plus an average of 24 minutes for an anime episode, theres gonna be hundreds or even thousands of pictures drawn.

Its not like they draw each and every single movement individually, that takes too much work. They use computer softwares to do it too, and most of the times, background is one picture. If you see some rotating background, you know its hard work shit.

take this video for example

Spoiler:


The first scene where archer chant, the only section of the picture moving is his mouth (a loop of 2-3 pictures). So the artist just have to draw his picture, and copy it into another paper then change only the mouth. This scene is created with a larger picture and the camera moving from down to up.

The second scene where archer images have more pictures then the first obviously, the scene in this minute with the most drawn pictures in flipping, the background doesnt change.

The 3rd scene when beserker comes infront of archer, notice only beserker's hair ( loop of few pictures) and the white "wave" like stuff coming out of cadalbolg is moving.

So is the 4th scene, beserkers skirts moving too( also a loop of few pictures).

5th scene is, just wave like thinggy moving and archer's hand release, his hair not even moving(awesome gel?) nor his eyes and his mouth.

6th is where the arrow flyes...meh...

7th is where beserker comes flying with his hair moving (loop) and face not changing. A second picture of beserker with the "ouch" look on his face is shown when he is hit by the arrow. And smokes come out.

8th is where the whole background is the same with added effects of waves and that pillar of light moving.

9th is where archer's mouth moving only again, his hands didnt even move an inch when the weapons appear.

And there you have it, one whole minute


Actually you can watch and see each and every scene and analyse the pictures "drawn", the ones in loop and the ones drawn and not moving, and the ones with the camera moving. But yeah, thats just like 1 minute i said, so a 24 minute episode is like 24 times the work of that, still is a shitload of stuff

And yeah, higher quality animes tend to have more pictures and movements in one scene to make it look awesome, so it depends on their budget and deadline i guess

No, I don't recall ever saying that Family Guy isn't animated although I do believe it is lower quality animation compared to other anime. Second of all I don't really recognize shows like that as anime. To me an anime has to have a beginning point and an ending point to the story but the people who produce Family Guy could keep making episodes till the Earth freezes over so long as they can come up with content for the episodes.
