Thomas Romain, a gaijin Satelight employee. He was replying to your exact same question:
>The preproduction of a show (script and first designs) starts around 9 and 12 months before airing in general.
>The firsts eps are produced slowly then it accelerates until the end. Episodes are still produced during broadcast of the firsts
>Once the storyboard is finished we need 7 weeks to achieve a standard qualiry ep. Sometimes it can be a lot shorter!
>10 On last year Lupin show. Friends told me they had less than 3 weeks from animation start till airing! Insane even for Japan.
