I suspect this is a troll-comment at best.

For those that don't know, it can take years to make an anime; and that's just on the animation side of things. That has nothing to do with the writing, design, storyboarding, sounds, voices, compilation and production.

It can easily take 2 months of just artists sitting down with 'pens to artboards' (so to speak) working for a single episode. And an artist/team isn't going to be working on mutiple episodes at once either, which means that depending on the size of the studio, the overall team inovlved and the like, you can have more being done at a time...or less.

...and none of that is even getting close to talking about the impacts of funding, weather, people calling out sick or something else happening that throws a wrench in the production schedule.

Is it fuzzy? Yeah, it is. I've seen estimates stating that it can take 6 weeks for an episode, but others it's 4+ months for the same thing. There's a lot of factors involved here. Further, there is nothing out-of-the-ordinary for there to be a year or two between the formal announcement of a thing and that thing actually being deployed in anime.
