Watch Super first
The movie assumes you understand the Super-era status quo, power scale, and core cast. Watch the TV route first if you want the cleanest setup.
Keep the movie separate
Do not force Broly into the episode list. It is a theatrical release with its own page, and separating it keeps Dragon Ball Super numbering clean.
Use it before later Super-era material
If you are following the modern Dragon Ball route, place Broly after Super and before moving deeper into later movie or sequel-era material.
Dragon Ball Super guide snapshot
This guide is connected to the live AnimeAnchor catalog for Dragon Ball Super. The current page links into the full episode spine, canon and filler labels, arc mapping, movie releases, and character profiles instead of leaving you with a loose recommendation list.

Dragon Ball Super Movie releases
Movies stay outside the TV episode count. That preserves official numbering and makes watch orders easier to trust when a franchise has theatrical stories, recuts, or side releases.
Key Dragon Ball Super characters
Character pages connect spoiler-safe profiles, full story biographies, first appearances, and mapped episode or movie appearances back into the same catalog.
