It appears that there will be either a season 2 or more seasons in the future. They decided to do the first season as a stand-alone, but leave it open to continue at a later point. I really hope the novels get translated, because it appears to be a book series, I would very much enjoy. As well, the manga doesn’t have too many volumes and will also be easy to purchase.
I haven’t yet read the novel series (can’t speak or read Japanese or whatever they call it in Japan), but I’m going to check to see if it will be coming to the US any time soon. The manga probably will have an easier time being translated, since more people will be more willing to “read” manga than a light novel.
That said, this also gives the light novel a chance to get ahead of the anime, so that the anime doesn’t have to use a lot of filler arcs as to not overcome the source material. This is usually looked down upon as it can break away too much from the arc of the original author and those who read the source material don’t like it. Often the filler arcs don’t have as much thought put into them, so are of lower quality story wise than what is in the source material. This isn’t always the case. However, the examples are few and far in-between.
The anime does give a sense of wanting to learn more about the world and the background of the series. The source material will have that, but I believe many of us will have to wait until the series is picked up by one of the networks or by one of the US distributors for the DVDs. In that way, the manga and light novels may also be picked up.
