I hope the home releases, both BD and DVD, should be director's cuts in which anything that was left out in the broadcast are included, or expanded upon on which to answer pertinent questions; we can't rely on the manga quartet as, um, "canon" because those are spinoffs based on the show.

Also, there's probably a reason why the writing rule of "show, don't tell" isn't utilized in this case (which could've removed the infodumps and the filler so that many questions can be answered): one of the primary purposes of the show is to educate non-fans, try to gain a wider audience other than anime or wota fans, and provide a little light to some (but not all) characters.
If "show, don't tell" were to be strictly used, this show would probably appeal only to the hardcore, all the while much of the theme and messages would be lost on its intended target audience of casual anime viewers.
