If you want to go by what the director said:

Morita: " In Japan, there was a three-month break between the seasons. These three months meant that viewers would lose touch with the anime and forget parts of the story. For this reason, starting where the last season left off wouldn't have been a good thing. That's why we thought of another approach. In order to regain the attention of the audience, we consulted with Ishida, and that led to the decision to use an original story for the second season."

But it sounds rather...odd imo. "We made the story for season two different because the three month wait was too long for the audiance" ??????
