What's more important for an animated series - time, staff count, or vision?

You've probably heard about the Invincible animation complaints by now and the recent reveal of a grand total of **4** VFX people on the team. There's been a whole debate about what people should be realistically expecting from animated shows. I got curious and watched some stuff about Robert Kirkman and it does seem like he *really* wanted a live action adaptation and is trying to twist the animated series to fit that vision. So now I want to know what you all think. Let's say that I want to make an animated adaptation of an action comic similar to Invincible. The most important factors are time, staff count, and what I envision the show to look like (I'm not entirely sure how to best describe this one - maybe "direction"?). I have a few options: 1. Small staff, but much longer timeline and longer gaps between seasons (let's say 2-3 years) 2. Large staff, shorter timeline (6-8 months between season releases) 3. Small staff, mid timeline, but taking a lot of shortcuts, cutting out or abstracting a lot of stuff, and/or hiding the deficits where I can In your opinion, which of these options would make for the best final product? It'd be cool to see examples if you have any too. My examples I think would be The Legend of Korra for option 2 and Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table for option 3 (sort of. The limitations worked around well enough early on but later episodes get a little wonky even with the direction that they went with). Both have flaws in different areas.
