Q&A: Why does a manga series generally take longer to produce than the same anime series?

Question by Minda: Why does a manga series generally take longer to produce than the same anime series?

When a manga series gets picked up as a anime, the anime invariably "catches up" to the manga, often forcing the anime to create original filler material to buy time for the manga artist to write more material. Often times, this filler material is inferior to the original story (see Bleach, Naruto, Dragonball Z, the list goes on). So why does it take a comic book longer to produce than an animated cartoon?
