As not so long ago the anime adaptation of the **Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasu ka?
Isogashii desu ka? Sukutte Moratte Ii desu ka?** novel ended we were left with
quite an open ending

My questions are the following: did the anime left some important content out
(its normal to skip some as it can't be all adapted) and if so, how much?
Furthermore, if I plan to read the novels, should I start from the beginning
(if the anime skipped some parts) or start where the anime ended (if you could
provide that information too I'd be very grateful)?

Did the "Shuumatsu Nani Shitemasu ka?" anime cut content from the novels?


According to [Japanese
Wikipedia](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%B5%82%E6%9C%AB%E3%81%AA%E3%81%AB%E3%81%97%E3%81%A6%E3%81%BE%E3%81%99%E3%81%8B%3F_%E5%BF%99%E3%81%97%E3%81%84%E3%81%A7%E3%81%99%E3%81%8B%3F_%E6%95%91%E3%81%A3%E3%81%A6%E3%82%82%E3%82%89%E3%81%A3%E3%81%A6%E3%81%84%E3%81%84%E3%81%A7%E3%81%99%E3%81%8B%3F#.E3.83.86.E3.83.AC.E3.83.93.E3.82.A2.E3.83.8B.E3.83.A1),
the anime partly covers up to the 3rd volume of the light novel.

[AniComiMan (Japanese)](http://anicomi-man.com/shumatsu-1kan-netabare-10781),
a blog that provides spoiler for the light novel prefaced it with

A review by [Inquisitr](http://www.inquisitr.com/4317753/world-end-

2's material** ) stated,

Also, [the Japanese's impressions on episode 6 (= end of volume
2)](http://jumpmagazinetabare.seesaa.net/article/449986857.html) are more-or-
less: those who have read the light novel were more emotionally moved than
those who only watched the anime since the anime skipped a lot/the pace was
too quick.
