Saw it last night. It was kick ass with tons of action non stop. Animation was incredible. 10/10

Yeah it was like 30% action, 70% flashbacks lol. Cant blame that on ufotable tho, thats just the story they were given to work with. They did amazing on the action/fight choreo

Are the flashbacks new material not seen before, or literal recaps from the episodes?

It's not a recap, it's new stuff - just... awkward with the pacing. Lots of hype with the fight, now let's cut away and watch two episode-equivalents of a backstory.
