Apart from those few anime that never truly stop airing, however, most current works respond to the constraints of anime seasons. Each year has four anime seasons, each spanning over three months. Episodes are typically released weekly; as such, anime with 12 episodes perfectly fit within this timeframe.

It's more due to how the system for producing TV shows is in Japan. Making one season, then having a big gap, then making another, is actually a relatively recent change in anime as well. It used to be much more common to have shows that spanned multiple sessions, without breaks. – Kai Sep 4, 2018 at 16:52
One reason may be that anime takes longer to produce than a normal show (as in ones with actors such as supernatural), however I have no idea wether this is true or not. The other reason I know of is that most (if not all) anime is based off of manga, and also usually advance much faster than it story-wise.
Now with the anime out you have to give it time to market your manga for you. If sales don't pick up much or at all after the anime comes out it isn't likely the anime will continue.
Anime pretty much are released one episode per week, every week, barring the occasional preemption by a sports game that runs late or delay due to natural disaster. You can go on the page for a simulcasting show on Crunchyroll and see the exact day and time when new episodes of a show come out.
Because they air on TV in Japan (unless they're an OVA or movie anyway) and the studios only get to secure one timeslot per week for them.
Television anime is aired on a weekly basis, but it is most definitely not produced on a weekly basis. Each episode of an anime series can have a least a six-month lead time from the moment of conception until the time of broadcast.

Some episodes will get seven weeks. Then six. There are times when whole episodes are produced in as little as four or five weeks.
Sazae-san - 7,701 episodes Recognized by the Guinness World Records, this anime holds the world record for the longest-running animated TV series. The show is about a mother named Sazae-san and her family life.
Adapted from the manga of the same name, Sazae-san is by far the longest-running anime series of all time, with over 2500 episodes to date. Beginning in 1969, Sazae-san remains on the air each Sunday evening to this day. The show follows Sazae Fuguta and her family.
Those who watch anime weekly will only have one episode to watch every week from a series. While individuals may be following multiple shows during a single season, these anime may release on different days and still do not have the same power of sucking in their viewers for hours on end.
Anime production needs as many as 2,000 people for the production of a single episode with the price ranging from US$100,000-300,000 per episode. In most of the cases, the studios cannot afford to produce a whole season before airing it because even a 12-13 episode series takes as much as US$2-4 million.
Aoki noted that since most animation studios are busy with projects, it usually takes at least two years to plan an anime project in advance. If a Season 2 is immediately announced after Season 1's conclusion, this means it was already planned a long time ago.
roughly one monthAnd how long does one episode take to create? Each twenty four minute episode takes roughly one month to complete. There are 4-5 people working on scenes that were either suggested or requested by the animator.
Therefore, a 1 minute animation: 60 seconds = Between 6 to 12+ days. You should also assume that an animator will work extra days into this to allow for: Storyboarding.
An anime episode can cost between US$100,000 and US$300,000 to produce. That maximum is around 6 times bigger than what I thought an anime episode could cost at most (considering that what's animated is a top series, with top animators, top animation programs, top voice actors and so on).
1. The most typical release cycle for a manga chapter is either weekly or monthly. A lot of times the magazine will have its release schedule in the name— Weekly Shounen Jump, Monthly Shounen Magazine. Others, like Ribon or Manga Time Kirara Carat (which are both monthly) don't offer such clues.
One volume of a weekly manga contains about ten chapters .
Some magazines operate on other schedules: Hana to Yume comes out twice a month, while Dengeki Moeoh comes out every other month. Wikipedia has a list of manga magazines that give the release schedules of various magazines.
