It wasn’t complete filler, right? It implies pretty heavily that Brad King is selling out UA. That hasn’t come up before.

Uh no. He is just learning about the Class opposite his, as he is not familiar with 1A, unlike B, and he is going to be working with them on the trip.

Also they wanted to give us a recap on their quirks. I highly doubt Vlad is a traitor.

What chapter does the latest episode fall on (or if that isn't cannon at all, then the one next week)?

Since I didn't see anyone quite answer this: The episode isn't cannon but is vaguely inspired by some omake from vol. 6. Next episode should start with the back half of ch.70, if everything is back on track.

If all they do is animate about 45-50 chapters a year they'll basically stay exactly far enough behind the manga to never catch up, assuming Horikoshi can stay healthy and they actually want to continue animating it.

Given the nature of the production I'd say they would sooner just stop producing it than let it become another Bleach/Naruto filler purgatory thing.

Oda takes a break every 4 weeks, plus the 3 or 4 breaks shonen jump goes on yearly, while the anime shows an episode every week, rain or shine. Their choices are animate 3/4 of a chapter every week or go seasonal and since people are gonna tune in every week regardless they aren't going to go seasonal and lose a juicy timeslot.

Right, filler arcs at least present the option to skip if the filler is bad while still enjoying the main story content. One piece say screw that and ruined the original story too.

Which is idiotic. It's only the most hilariously popular manga of all loving time, I'm sure if they went seasonal every station from here to the end of time would be falling over themselves to give them a primo time slot when they said "Hey we're ready with the next One Piece season".

I mean we can't even hope for a One Piece Kai or something because at the rate One Piece is going we'll all be dead before that happens.

Beyond One Piece actually continuing in two decades (which is likely, but let's ignore that for a moment), it's very unlikely. Filler comes from anime airing continuously while its source material is going on as well, requiring something to fill up the time until the manga comes out. The reason why anime does this is to keep useful timeslots.

If TV finally died and everything moved to the internet, then the concept of timeslots would disappear completely as we'd move to an on-demand style of service where you can get anything at any time. As such, the need of filler would completely disappear, and every series that adapts an ongoing manga or light novel would take a seasonal format like My Hero Academia has. The only "filler" that'd remain is simply padding to hit the slightly less than 30 minutes of any episode, and that can genuinely be beneficial to a series, adding to the pacing and showing stuff the manga did not, as well as maybe random but extremely few anime-exclusive episodes that wouldn't affect much in the grand scale of things. And maybe recaps if they end up releasing slower than wanted, but that, hopefully, would disappear too.

If things moved to that format, they could just do Netflix-style recaps people could watch whenever a new season happened or something to catch people up, no need for recap episodes since everything's right there and they don't need space-filler episodes anymore. Would also result in things being less rushed hopefully, due to the move away from the brutal schedule most anime is made on nowadays. (Another thing that'd mean there's no need for recap episodes.)

The basic shonen template is a hero too drat stupid to know how dangerous what he's doing is.

Deku is not stupid.

Which makes it even better when he does it anyway.

I didn't take this into account until now.

Every other Shonen protagonist is either stupid (Goku, Luffy) or a hothead (Urumashi). These traits are likely common as it gives an excuse for the protagonists to "go on an adventure" and be reckless. But Deku is not like that at all. He's very smart. He's driven due to his belief to be brave and do the right thing, and most of all self-improvement.

Deku is still incredibly reckless though. But the cool part is that they actually address it in the story. It's not like in One Piece where Luffy can beat the poo poo out of a poison man and only suffer minor consequences.
Deku's hands are still hosed up. Which is a neat detail. I also like how Ida still has a scar from his fight with Stain.

It's details like those that really drive the point home that, in this series, actions have consequences, and that requires a different set of protagonists than you're typical shonen

Dub is really good, but I did have some issues with the sound mixing especially during the tournament arc. Sometimes it's pretty hard to hear people speaking. Especially during action moments. But you can always activate subtitles.

Also I can't get used to Froppy's voice. It's not bad but not what I expected at all. (not saying it's bad though)

Dub is worth it for Chris Sabat All Might. The line writing/translation is on-point too. I really like almost all of the casting they did, there are a lot more hits than misses, and Deku's actor in particular is pretty drat good.
