I like accelerator and Hamazura, but I watch this series for Touma. I really love his personality. Yeah, accelerator is badass and well, Hamazura is umm..Hamazura? But what I like about Touma is how he is not bothered by the fact that he is a level 0 unlike so many characters in this series (Saten, Hamazura during the start, etc), how he doesn't have any ambitions (unlike Accelerator) and how he just wants to live a normal life (complete his homework, talk about his misfortune, etc).
I am on episode 2 of season 3. I recently got into this series and I am also loving season 3 as of now, but I've heard that season 3 is really bad and Touma is more like a side character this season. Is it true? I love accelerator and Hamazura, but I'd prefer Touma to be the main protagonist. Index won't be the same if the first protagonist becomes a side character.

Well he has his moments but don't worry he is sill the protagonist in the series. Just to warn you if you are confused because you will need to watch the first two seasons if you want to watch this series. It is bad for its rushed pacing.

No problem its a shame this series could have got really popular if it was adapt properly but I hope railgun 3 does a success to its adaptation.

Season 3 is.... something. It's honestly just confusing not in the story telling, but in the "Why are they doing this. Who are they? Why did this just happen?" You can see threads being made about it with people saying the same thing, the adaptation was bad. I enjoyed the first 2 seasons, but currently I'm not even keeping up with the weekly releases.

Also, don't forget the movie https://myanimelist.net/anime/11743/Toaru_Majutsu_no_Index_Movie__Endymion_no_Kiseki?q=A%20certain%20

That's a matter of opinion, but yes I would personally say S3 is bad. Compared to the previous 2, though, it's not much worse than they were so take that as you will.

and Touma is more like a side character this season.
This, however, is objectively false. Out of 18 episodes so far, Touma was at the center of the events for 12 whole episodes, and while not directly involved with the events in the remaining 6 episodes a bit of it has to do with his existence and the actions he took previously/concurrently.

Is it true? I love accelerator and Hamazura, but I'd prefer Touma to be the main protagonist. Index won't be the same if the first protagonist becomes a side character.
You say you are on episode 2 but already love Hamazura? What...

I mean this is just two separate anime told together.
You watch one of Touma's adventures and one of Accelerator's missions. That's how I go about it anyway.
