The main reason for the gap is that the studio wanted more time to provide fine details in the animation. Also, the writer Hajime Isayama asked the studio to wait so he could write more chapters so that fans do not have to wait for long the next time.

The gap between Attack on Titan Season 1 and Season 2 was about four years, as the first season premiered on April 7, 2013, and the last episode was released on September 29, 2013. Still, after that, it took about four years to release the second season of the anime, which was released on April 1, 2017.

How many episodes were there in Attack on Titan, seasons 1 and 2?

There are a total of 37 episodes in Attack on Titan, seasons 1 and 2. However, the manga writer of the anime series covered around 80 chapters, but the studio adapted from 35-50 chapters for season 2, which consisted of 13 episodes less than what was released in season 1st, in which 25 episodes covered chapters 1-34.

Attack on Titans season 2 really picked up hype after it was released in 2017. There was a gap of four years between season 1 and season 2, but that gap did help the Manga writer and the anime studio because, with that gap, they were able to keep releasing the other season more frequently than the first and second seasons.
