Welp. RIP DBH Victory Mission. I don't think that hiatus will be lifting any time soon...

Was hoping to see a DRAGON BALL SUPER logo. Can't wait for more info.
Yeah, that threw me, too.

The series will,
follow the aftermath of Gokus fierce battle with Majin Buu, as he attempts to maintain earths fragile peace.
So this choice quote leads me to believe that it'll deal with the after effects of Majin Buu rather than where we are currently in regards to the movies?

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
I don't get how it'd be fragile, everyone forgot about what happened with Majin Buu and the Earth was shown to be pretty tranquil...

I hope not lol.
I just think its meant to say that there is peace now but there will always be a powerful foe on the horizon that threatens peace.

What will this series be about?
If they don't explore multiverse, alternate timelines or the other universes that Beerus mentioned... I'm going to be pissed.

This is how I feel.
Theres so much potential there that it would be wasted if it takes place right after Buu but before BoG.

i thought movies weren't canon

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Wut, who told you that, the movies themselves got so much attention because they are canon and toriyama is involved with them.
Most movies aren't, or at least they don't matter because nothing that happens in them is cared, but the newer movies are different. They're officially continuations of DBZ's storyline.
Current, official, Canon that this new series is working off of is the Manga and BoG and F. Which are the only two Canon movies.

Goku and Piccolo would've known of Gohan's power before Raditz and Krillin would've known about Gohan before meeting him at Kame House.

There are a few minor hiccups here but for the most part I see no reason why this couldn't have happened pre Raditz. It even has more of a classic Dragonball pre Z feel to it.

Bojack is the only pre BOG movie that fits pretty snugly with the canon. It's not very good though.

That weird wording has only been used in the American press release, the Japanese one is much more vague, only saying that it's after Buu without all that embellishment. I don't see how it could happen right after the Buu Saga and have a villain stronger than "Buu and Freeza", which was mentioned in the Japanese news.

It is not canon. Broly being a popular character doesn't mean his movie is canon.
I don't feel like it's a perfect fit, because future Trunks is in there.

It's actually mentioned in the movie that he returned from the future to tell them about how he beat the Androids. Bojack's movie also addresses something that the manga completely ignores (Vegeta saying that he won't fight anymore at the end of the Cell Saga).
It's anime canon, since it does set up the Garlic Jr. saga later. But rule of thumb is that if it wasn't in the manga or the two new movies, it's not in Toriyama's canon.
Dragon Ball Super is a Toriyama canon thing, which follows:
- Dragon Ball manga (Kanzenban Edition)
- Yo! Son Goku & Friends Return animated special
- Battle of Gods animated film
- Jaco the Galactic Patrolman manga
- Dragon Ball Minus manga
- Revival of F animated film

Goku is dead during the Bojack movie.
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
He's dead in that movie
Krillin doesn't meet Gohan until moments before Raditz shows up. In the Dead Zone Krillin knew Gohan already.
Right, but I'd be surprised if they don't bring him into canon-hood. If that makes sense. He's popular enough that I can see them making the effort to do so.
wrath of the dragon fits.

No to broly please. We can come up with better villains than a screaming jackass that some middle schooler came up with on the back of his notebook.
Except the extremely huge plot hole of Future Trunks sword was given to him by the same Tapion in that movie
It would be cool to see smoe of the gag characters like Onio, Nekko Majin, and Kuriza

huh, yeah wrath of the dragon fits and is the only post kid buu one.
Although, yeah the Tapion sword thing is a big issue.

He forgot... about him.... ya..

There's nothing wrong with Tapion giving him a sword. It's just stupid how they try to imply that it's Future Trunks' sword with the credits. Which obviously makes no sense.

Broly already got 3 movies, besides appearances on videogames, and maybe, maybe a small mention he should not matter anymore
Ahhhhhhh, true. nvm
