The movie is alright, but due to the lesser runtime, it cuts a lot of, what I consider, important buildup/setup, dialogue and slower-paced scenes, whhich then also ruins some of the pacing of the movie, all which helps in molding the anime into the awesome viewership experience that it is. It actually took me watching this movie, to help me appreciate season 2 of the show even more. Like before watching this movie, I would have given season 2 a solid 8/10. But after watching this movie, and seeing how well they managed to juggle all the action in the show, while also inserting important character stories and conversations, it has definitely made me enjoy the show more, and I would now give season two a 9.5/10 now. That said, while I very much do recommend watching the show over the movie, if you really don't have the time to watch all of season 2, you definitely can get by, with just watching this movie, as long as you know, that you might not fully understand why some characters are having certain reactions to some things. The movie is still above average, and the animation alone is absolutely gorgeous. If nothing else, you could watch this movie for Ufotables incredible animation alone. Can't wait to see them bring the next arc to life with their super talented animators!
