I waited a long time for a plot that would, as it turns out, never come in A Salad Bowl of Eccentrics. That in itself was interesting to me since I really wasn’t expecting just slice of life from the series. However, you will find that while the anime was mostly plotless, some arcs do manifest as the light novel goes on – it just always comes home to slice of life.

What to Expect From The A Salad Bowl of Eccentrics Source Material Compared to The Anime?
A Salad Bowl of Eccentrics is a slice of life series. There is no great overall plot to the series, just the occasional longer character story, which probably made it hard for the animation studio to shoot for a specific place to end the series.
Anyway, the anime adapts the light novel in an okay way. What it skips is smaller slice of life moments and bits of comedy. It kept things that they might have skipped, like character introductions for people who will be more important later, intact. So it did a good job adapting things given unconventional nature of the story.
You don’t need to read the A Salad Bowl of Eccentrics light novel from the beginning to move forward unless you want to, though you will find more than a few new moments and more fleshed out characterization if you do.
Will There Be A Salad Bowl of Eccentrics Season 2?
There has been no official announcement of a Salad Bowl of Eccentrics Season 2 anime.
A Salad Bowl of Eccentrics is a unique series and full of enough marketable waifus to rival the likes of waifu generators like gacha anime adaptations. We will see if its array of eccentrics prove profitable enough to merit more anime.
