My Current [Revised] Policy on Animation Production...

I think, as a creator of a property that may or may get adapted from the page to animation, if you've grown up in or know America better than Japan, you should stick to what you know...Want details? 

Okay.

If it's an American Property, and the Producer-Creator of the animated property is American, and the show is being produced and animated in America, production should primarily be done by Americans and international contractors overseas for post production, the same way it's always been done.

If the production is being attempted in Japan, it would be important for me not to meddle in the Japanese production process. Approving scripts and production artwork? yes. Meddling into day to day operations of the overseas Japanese studio? I do not think so. 

As a producer you have to not only know how to lead a team. You also have to know when to back off and let the team you're leading do their thing, when to step in and when you keep your distance. If it's produced in America, you can probably step in a bit more. If it's co-produced in Japan, trust in the expertise of the Japanese Planners and co-producers.
