Other shows with weekly episodes are listed in the cours in which they start.
For non-weekly series (such as shows which Netflix releases a season at a time), I make one list per year.
(Note that a season of an anime show can run for more than one cours, usually consecutive. Some recent series have broadcast a single season over non-consecutive cours.)
