No, your idea of respect is to shut up and not say anything critic against the show you like, sorry that's not how this works. You say I can't take criticism but you weren't criticizing anything- your exact statement was

If you don't like it that much, why are you even watching it? Stop complaining already, don't ruin the mood for people who are actually enjoying how they've recreated the manga.

That's not '
giving me a suggestion', that's an
definitive command.
Couple it with your earlier line of
"I'm entitled to my own opinions as much as you are." I can differ from this is that you felt like your opinion was threaten and so you proceed to respond by giving the standard "
If you don't like it, don't watch" response.
That's textbook can't take criticism, so it's not hypocritical for me to respond in kind since you started first.

But as I've already said, the anime adaption likes to focus on the other three girls as well (plus now we have two new additions) and we don't know their side of the story while Mikoto's out and about facing her problems (because it doesn't show in the manga). It's detail in a sense of long-term character development and the relationships these characters have (which Railgun anime usually likes to focus on). By showing the lives of other girls, I'm predicting we'll also get a better picture of Mikoto's isolation during her period of darkness. I personally think it'll be interesting to see how they fit Mikoto's friends' perspectives into the Sister's Arc.
For example, didn't Mikoto ask Uiharu to help her crack a code before she discovered the information about the experiments? The manga doesn't show Uiharu after that for a while... But what if Uiharu delved a little deeper, wondering what Mikoto was up to? These are just implications, which I think are definite possibilities that the anime could explore and expand on.

That's because they don't fit into the story of the Sister's Arc.
They aren't suppose to know any of this.
If they get character development it's going to be unrelated to what Mikoto is going through. How does seeing what other girls do will give us a better picture of Mikoto's isolation? They are happy, she's not. Zero connection.
And if they do get involve in the Sister's arc, which means it flies yet again in the face of canon and you'll have more shit being stirred up not just by me but everybody else.

We're only in ep 4 (technically ep 3 of Sisters), we don't actually know until the very end, what is meaningful and what is not at this point.

Your theory only works if we don't know anything about the story.
But the fact is, we do- a very large portion of the fanbase knows this, and the producers know this as well. That means they are limited to what they can changed without a shit storm raining down on them.

The difference is that I now have some grounds to speak off.
You guys were basing it off nothing.
Remember those who thought the Sister Arc who get skipped completely?
