Look. The Dragon Ball Z Broly isn't canon. So you dont have to watch it. It doesnt match with the story. And I wouldn't recommend you starting with this movie. The order is Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball Super Broly. If you want you can skip the first dragon ball its just backstories with the characters, but I would recommend you starting with it. Its funny, it has action, adventure, sometimes sad. So yea that's what I think. Hope I helped. Oh and, are you greek?

You won’t understand anything that’s happening if you start with the broly movie. I really would not recommend it. If you wanna get into DB then start with the series, watch it in order and then the movies. All DB movies are side stories, some are canon some are not. While the broly movie is canon, the power levels, character development, setting etc won’t make sense. Also I think starting the original series can get you more hooked than watching the movies. Trust me, the original DB is incredible.

Actually the broly movie is canon. It doesnt impact the main story but it is part of the canon universe, toriyama said so himself.

Well, the Broly Film(The 2018 one) it's really good, he tells the story of the Sayajins and it's fight for 2 hours, good animation and shows how dragon ball is, with a lot of fighting and fun, it's a good start

just read the manga please, it there is a really awful anime adaptation i it’s definitely Dragon Ball and DBZ. If you really want to watch the anime just watch og Dragon Ball and then DB Kai, which is Z made decently

No no no no no no no, the Broly movie is a terrible place to start. You're gonna be lost and not understand a thing. I mean, you can still do it, but it's not gonna make much sense in terms of story. If you feel like it's too much to watch Dragon Ball Z itself, you can watch Dragon Ball Z Kai instead.

Dragon Ball and good animations don’t go hand to hand, but the manga has like the best battle direction second only to Bleach, you’ll see an enormous difference with newer battle shonen were fights are drawn awfully and you can’t really understand what’s going on

there were tons anime way better made in the 80s, and I’m talking about pacing and fillers too, and we can talk about Super, too, which has bad animations as well and it’s recent

I said it does not impact the main story, cuz broly hasnt shown up in the manga. Hes not part of the main story of dbs. The broly dbs movie is just a side story.

I'm going to go against common consensus here and say you should absolutely NOT start with Dragon Ball. It's tonally and content-wise much lighter and sillier than all other series in the DB canon. Start with DBZ instead.

Its anime canon. Actually it is manga canon too. Goku and Vegeta referred that they fought broly, in tha manga of dbs. So here is the link

Ive never seen that panel u just linked in the manga, its a fanart. And even if it wasnt, that does not impact the main storyline, mentioning a past event does not mean it will ever have anu impact on future sagas and arcs. The broly movie is just a side story, as will the new dbs movie be.
