I want to remind people that posting spoilers from the novels is not okay in this thread, so please guard your comments carefully.
That aside, they did indeed post the interview up on
AkibaBlog (NSFW ads) as promised, but at first glance they don't appear to offer that much in terms of concrete details on the anime production. In particular, no announcements yet about staff or air date. They are apparently having a fan contest to help them name the title/subtitle for the second season, though. Will have to look through again later to see if there's any other useful info.
