they might check how the show is received after the first couple of eps and decide whether to go with it further or not.
Or may be 6 rows are simply too many to list at once for episode selection and more will simply appear later.

I can see Ikuhara trying to follow the success of Madoka with 1 cour and movies, but no, I want to believe in 2 cours, at least for now.

Do his anime usually sell well? This seems like the type of show to bomb especially since Japan tends to hate yuri that's above undertones. Maybe it's about Yuru Yuri level and people will like it, who knows.

I remember that sales for each BD volume of Penguindrum reached around 4000-5000 in the first months after their publishing. This is neither a failure, nor a hit. Most likely a relatively small profit, but depends on the production budget, of course. Probably more profit comes from merchandise.
And Japan hating yuri? The target audience is simply a minority, so it's more like not enough love, I hope. This will then likely get fixed thanks to "It's Ikuhara!" factor and his fans, unless... unless you're right, the society isn't ready, and the sales numbers won't get above 2000-3000... we'll find out very soon, what's got caught in that transparent storm ^_^

12 episodes for Ikuhara is pretty low...

I'm worried what it means if it's just 1 cour.

Either

1) This anime isn't going to be that ambitious and we shouldn't expect amazing things from it, though it will still be pretty good.

2) He knows exactly what he wants to do and he only needs 12 episodes to achieve it.

I could definitely see it as them not revealing that it's 2 cours right off the bat. It would only create more hype and interest by keeping that information secret until later.
