I agree with that. It's bad planning and writing if you need sidestorys to give background on major anime characters. Sidestorys are to expand on the world and to give other views on it. Not to act as plot hole fillers from the anime that they forgot to put in. Not everyone reads them. So they need everything relevent to the anime in the anime.

I don't see them taking many eps to explain the new world set up in the second season. We know the world now, so it'd only take an ep or 2 to explain the changes. It's not like it's been turned totally on it's head. It's just taken a combined status since the end of the first season. A combination that started in the first season.
