I heard this rumor once, and I have no idea as to if it is actually true, but I read that the response to the Black Bullet anime was so bad in Japan (and worldwide) that the light novel author lost all his drive to actually continue the series.
Now, the Black Bullet anime has a ton of problems, but the anime studio did that to itself with how much content they tried to adapt in 13 episodes.

Where To Start The Black Bullet Light Novel After The Anime?
If you finished the Black Bullet anime and want to start the light novels, you can technically start at Novel 5.
Is The Black Bullet Light Novel Over?
The Black Bullet light novels are, technically, on hiatus, but abandoned would be more accurate. They published Novel 7 in 2014.
As I hear it, both the anime and light novels were a huge financial loss, but I have no way of confirming the hearsay.
Where To Start The Black Bullet Manga After The Anime?
The Black Bullet anime also has a manga, and you can pick that up at Chapter 13. The manga only has 20 chapters, and does not give you a satisfying ending.
Is The Black Bullet Manga Over?
The Black Bullet manga is cancelled. It was cancelled in 2014 with the light novel at Chapter 20.
What to Expect From The Black Bullet Source Material Compared to The Anime?
Five light novels of content in 13 episodes of anime is ridiculous, thus it made the anime more subpar than it needed to be. I recommend reading the light novels from the beginning, although the series is on “indefinite hiatus/dropped by it publisher/canceled” so there are only 7 light novel volumes anyway.
To be a Black Bullet fan is to be unhappy, I guess.
Will There Be A Black Bullet Season 2?
Obviously, as both the light novels and manga were gutted, the anime will not be continuing if not for lack of desire, then due to a lack of content.
