Season 1 ends with the defeat of a major antagonist, but there are still unanswered questions. It's clear the story as a whole is not done, but it's definitely the end of a story arc.

I'm trying to think of another long running, well known series to compare it to and I think Yu-Gi-Oh might be a good example. Pegasus was the first arc villain, but the stuff with the Millenium Items and who/what Yugi's alternate identity was wasn't resolved until much later. Attack on Titan will similarly introduce plot items that won't be taken care of until later (and it's still going). I am quite familiar with Yu-Gi-Oh so that's a good example. Though Pegasus is defeated (and presumed dead until he returns and reforms three seasons later), not only is there the thing of Yami's true identity, but Bakura is also still on the loose. Season 2 ends in cliffhanger, then in Season 3, Yami Marik is defeated but Bakura is STILL on the loose, and it isn't until the end of Season 5 that he is finally destroyed
