So last year we had a theatrical release of the start of season 3 that had the last two episodes of season 2. Now we got trailers saying that the finale of the swordsmith arc and the start of the training arc would be combined for a theatrical release.
How the hell are you people still going to this with the assumption it will be an original movie like Mugen Train? Don't hate it because you acted like a moron. This is intended as an event for fans and to give ufotable the big bucks. Normally such obvious cash grabs would frustrate. But this is ufotable, which means I don't care, because they deserve all profits they can get.
As for the special itself, S3's finale can be a bit cheesy but is a visually gorgeous and very tense episode, and looks great on the big screen. The premiere of S4 thankfully has a fair bit of action early on, making the pacing of this work alright and not feel like only conclusion and setup. The setup we get is promising though. I'll be curious how long the training arc is, because frankly I could imagine it being short enough they could do it like the Mugen Train arc, but I haven't read the manga so I don't know. Overall it's an enjoyable package for fans of the series but don't be a moron and go see a movie without looking at literally any promotional materials for it.
Also I liked the new opening.
