How long does it take to watch Attack on Titan?

Attack on Titan is 89 episodes and about 37 hours, short for a series of its reputation. The final episode is not an episode in the usual sense — it runs 85 minutes, longer than most feature films, and was released theatrically in Japan. Several other late instalments are extended, so the naive calculation of 89 times 24 minutes undercounts the total by nearly an hour. The series has almost no filler, which makes the watched runtime and the story runtime effectively identical.

What this assumes

88 episodes at about 24 minutes plus an 85-minute finale. Several late episodes run long, so this is an estimate rather than an exact sum.

Episode lengths are not uniform; the finale alone is 85 minutes. A flat 24-minute average understates the total.
