- What is a cour? - Anime Manga Stack Exchange
The most popular hypothesis is that it derives from French cours, cognate to "course" as in "lecture" 3 Note that the English "cour" is effectively a back-formation from cours (which is singular in French), and the singular plural distinction between "cour" and "cours" is an English innovation
- What was the first anime that used a split-cour format?
However, the split took 2 cours, from 29 03 2008 to 05 10 2008 If not for the 3 months condition, I'd say that this was indeed first series to air in split-cour format
- What defines one season of anime? - Anime Manga Stack Exchange
So a 26 episode series can be referred to as "2 cours" But as far as the length of an anime "season", a 12 episode series run can be referred to as a "season", yet sometimes a 26, or 36, or 201 (Gintama) episode run is called a "season" It's technically not tied to a specific length, which is why some people prefer to use "cours"

- Who the heck is Baba Micchi? - Anime Manga Stack Exchange
Both cours of Active Raid are now over, and I still don't know who Baba Micchi is! As you will recall, Baba Micchi is apparently some person who Sena Souichirou knows, and whenever this person's name is mentioned, Sena has a rather visceral reaction
