I have not watched the movies but absolutely loved the series. From what I can see the movies are just recap of the series. Is there new content in the movies and are they worth watching? I remember a season 2 was announced at some point but I haven't really heard anything about season 2's development.
Anime is pretty neat.

I did not watch the series, but watched the movies. From what I understood, the movies are just compilations of the episodes.

Movies 1 and 2are compilations, the 3rd is a sequel.

The 3rd movie is a sequel ; so you need to watch that rest of them are optional

The entirety of the third movie is new content. The first and second are recaps and have very little new content, I'd say like a few mins each.

Still a bit sad that they never made a second season and went with movie releases instead.

It did actually, if they'd done a second season instead of the movies we'd have gotten a third season by now.

There isn't enough content for a third season anyways, the second season almost completely caught up to the manga. This was the best option.

yeah he is right, as far as I am aware not having movies would have done almost nothing to the timeline of the second seasons release. So FYI the third season is probs gonna be a few years out at least as well. The other two alternatives would be making garbage filler content like boruto/bleach or deviate from the original plot line (which usually doesn't really end well). This was the same with Magus bride for example which is now getting a new season soon.

rather simple, the first 2 movies are compilations of the 1st season, 3rd movie is the new content and then you move on to season 2 of the show

Considering the pacing of the manga (1 volume each year, and 5 volumes adapted per season) 2027 is your best bet for a season 3. So making a movie instead of a season don't make a difference. The third movie was done because there wasn't enough content in the arc to be compiled in a whole 12-13 episode season.
