this is subject to interpretation but even if the plot is connected to the main plot, I may still consider Railgun as a spinoff because of the change in protagonist which I see as the key distinction. but then again, since I've not read it, I don't know for sure.

So let's compute what would make an Index side-story in terms of principles...
Railgun is a side story because it focuses on what happens on the leylines in the Index canon while taking on another protagonists' POV. A side story doesn't have to keep it's main story protagonist in order to advance the plot in parallel to the main story's canon like how we see the SS volumes are doing. What would make a spin-off? Let's take the Delta Force and have a series focused on their daily hijinks. Or just Aogami and his everyday perversion exploits. Or take the in-series' Magical Girl Kanamin into an actual adaptation.

I'm almost certain those are just detractors and trolls looking to throw flame around- I can't think anyone who would make that kind of mistake 'honestly'.

They aren't just trolls lurking in the net chaos they are worst.... ah the headache makes me remember the time when Index II was announce and the wild baboons gone wild where is our Misaka. It's like hell fire that shut up and wait another damn year for your moeblob railgun to air again!!!! and thank god we got Shana and ZnT instead of railgun II or I may semi-permanent stay away from index threads for a couple of months just like when railgun anime shows up. I stay away from the episode thread.

And then forward to the events of Daihaseisai... in Railgun's POV. Of course, nothing with the ruin that came with the first Railgun series that is.

Yes, since I expect that Railgun will be on the high quality that Index 2 rarely matched..... Seriously, that's partly why the Railgun fanatics say that Index is a spin-off of Railgun (the vast difference in quality).

Why would I do it here? It has nothing to do with Railgun. We'll be in the eps threads spouting about how Toumas a better MC yada yada plot yada yada you are all sick men wanting cute girls doing cute things yada yada
