What is a Red Data Girl, exactly? To this day, Red Data Girl anime fans have little idea due to often how poorly the anime explained the lore for the series it was adapting.

What to Expect From The Red Data Girl Source Material Compared to The Anime?
The Red Data Girl anime zooms its way through five novels, which, interestingly enough, makes the anime feel like it concluded none of the plot threads that it has set up because all of those are tied up in the final novel that they didn’t adapt.
That said, the novels are also a bit different than the anime. The anime tries to make the story a little more action-dense, when the novels are more focused on the intrigue going on around Izumiko and not so much action.
The anime doesn’t change much, but it does leave a lot out. If you have an interest in the story, it is strongly recommended to read the novels from the beginning.
Will There Be A Red Data Girl Season 2?
With the anime adapting everything but the last novel, and doing so quickly, Red Data Girl seems more promotional than an earnest anime project. Furthermore, it has been quite a long time since the anime, manga, and novels all ended, so more anime is very unlikely.
