When I say 'series' I mean in the American not British sense. Like the British series Hustle has 8 'series' instead of 8 'seasons'. So not that kind of series.

On Wikipedia:

Kuroko no Basuke and Takagi-san each have 1 anime adaptation consisting of 3 seasons (excluding movies). You can see that's how they're listed in the sidebars of their resp original pages: Kuroko and Takagi.

The Quintessential Quintuplets and Kaguya-sama each have more than 1 anime adaptation. TQQ has Gotoubun no Hanayome and then 'Gotoubun no Hanayome ∬'. Kaguya-sama: Love is War, Kaguya-sama: Love Is War? and 'Kaguya-sama: Love Is War – Ultra Romantic'. In the main Wikipedia pages they are listed in sidebars as like separate adaptations.

So eg 'Gotoubun no Hanayome ∬' looks not really like a '2nd season' but more like a sequel series. I don't mean parallel spin-offs like Once Upon a Time in Wonderland or sequel spin-offs like Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. I mean something like idk maybe revival seasons like Heroes Reborn that's treated as a sequel series instead of 5th season. What's going on?

    Personally this seems like more of a Wikipedia presentation question than an anime question, because the titles of the anime aren't indicating any difference. Even the main body of the Wikipedia page treats them as seasons. I don't see any fixed differences that would explain your examples though.

  • @TheGamer007 not just wikipedia. also MAL. or even like promotional posters or ads. they don't say it's a new season. they say it's like a sequel series. But anyway I don't see something like this for western series whether live or animated. But for anime it sometimes is or isn't like this. What's up with that?

  • The Japanese Wikipedia shows a different categorization: Kaguya-sama is considered as 1 series with 3 seasons, but 5-toubun is considered as 2 separate series, so looks like it depends on their policy for categorization.
