It's hard to have a real discussion over this when people aren't even talking about the same thing.  |
There is a factual difference between a split-cour show and a show that had its 2nd season quickly after the first one.
Split cour are 2cour shows with a break in the middle, that is there primarily for production issues like not being on schedule and needing to release badly done episodes/recaps, and releasing some stress from the animators that constantly work on the show.
Shows with second seasons are shows that were produced as one cour and just one cour, and the producers, after seeing that they did well, arrange for a second season to de done.
Sure, maybe the end result is almost the same, but there are notable differences like 2cours of the same show being confirmed from the start, while with the former method, the show needs to sell well to have another cour.
