User blog comment:Ethan Harmicar123/Petition to announce Season 2 of Attack on Titan/@comment-19654153-20160702053657

As much as I do want the release date of season 2, we already know that it's to air in 2017. Hopefully spring 2017 for the matter. I'm sure they have decided to push it back for entertainment reasons - perhaps they want the material to be top quality, worth the years of wait for the anime and manga fans alike.
