Hi there!

I can answer your question about Season 1 here. Sorry, that thread was more about administrative.

They ignored the second half of Season 1 to be more exact because that part was not canon to the manga. This season basically should pick up from where Episode 17 left off if I'm not mistaken, from the part Rin does some training with Shura to control his flames. The rest of the content in the first season of the anime from Episode 18 onwards was all anime-original as the manga had not progressed too far into the Kyoto Impure King arc at the time. Hence the make-good that happened between the characters in the second half of the anime's first season was ignored.
