Any rumors / hints as to when we can expect the English dub?
And Oolong, and Pu'ar, and Man-Wolf. Transformations have been all over the place from pretty close to day one.
Literal joke character.

Its been ages since I've read/watched anything DBZ related but I'm super into this.
Do I need to read anything GT and on or am I good to go?

This takes place before the epilogue of Z so no.
Nope. Super picks up right after the Buu arc.

Still have to watch this. But first, a re-watch of Z (it's been 10 years for me)
So if this picks up immediately after the end of Z, does it ignore/overwrite GT? (haven't ever seen it yet)

I really do wonder if Super will ever pick up post Z during GTs supposed timeline. I really hope they go on that territory for the Universe 6 saga

It starts after the Buu Saga, but before the two epilogue episodes, so it's not overwriting GT yet. It basically ignores it anyway, considering how it'll (re)introduce transformations that don't exist there.

I don't have anything to add right now other than this hilarious picture of Rambo Puar.

Reread the 22nd Budokai for fun and a couple things stood out to me:
One, Krillin pulls off his first kamehameha, having never even attempted it before, by assuming that if Yamcha could it it, it couldn't be all that hard.
But for all that people give Yamcha shit for hitting the dirt nonstop, he at least managed to kick Goku's teeth in the first time they met.
Chaozu's only notable moment of relevance consists of getting his ass kicked by Krillin in a match where he had the advantage of flight and psychic powers, wherein he lost due to getting distracted by Krillin yelling basic arithmetic at him. He follows this up with failing to get a wish out before getting instagibbed by Piccolo, getting his ass kicked offscreen by Taopaipai, and self-destructing.

Goku was hungry so is basically cheating

They need to make old characters relevant again so it's not just Goku/Vegeta and an army of useless characters that stand around and do nothing.
Yamcha and Hercule should train together with Elder Kai.
Tien and Piccollo should try fusion.
Krillin needs to have his potential unlocked by feasting on Frieza's frozen corpse.

And he'd been walking through the desert, but it's still something.
In other news, the full version of Hello Hello Hello is out.

Hell yes. It is awesome. They are celebrating 530,000 downloads so it is getting popular rather quickly

Chaozu never even interacts with Goku. At least Yamcha did some important stuff in the first 13 episodes.
Doesn't work. Kinda confused

Is there a preview for Sunday?
Toriyama forgot to draw it.

Thanks. When I've finished Z, there should be a good number of Super episodes. If it really turns out to pretty much ignore GT, I'll just skip it. It seems to the least popular DB anyway.

Still waiting for the full version of the op
Host Samurai

The wait for episodes are killing me. I'm use to binge watching anime an waiting for 1 episode per week is torture, espically Dragonball.
Yeah this sucks. I binged DB, DBZ and DBGT all in a row. Less than one ep per week is not working out.
You mean battle of gods. And not really. The old movies couldn't have happened without explaining some major plot holes (with a few exceptions). Battle of Gods and Revival of F are being adapted into Super. While there may be some changes, both of those movies events happen canonically in some form. We just don't know how much content will make the transition.
NeonZ

Well, there's the question of whether Super is even canon. So far, it's very minor, but they've been including filler characters, like Satan's disciples and Gregory, while the movies had completely avoided that.

Super is canon. Gregory was a Toriyama creation for the anime and Satan's students were basically background.

So the plot makes sense.
I appreciate consistency in everything I watch.
But I only asked because Battle of Gods was pitched to me by the girl I was dating at the time as a canon continuation to DBZ and that in the movie Beerus alludes to other timelines / dimensions, which would explain the inconsistencies of the previous movies. So finding out that movie is being retold in the show is just a little confusing.

Super is based on an outline from Toriyama expanded by Toei's writing team. We have no idea how "expanded" it is or if Toriyama is actually willing to follow this final product with whatever he does in the future.
Gregory was designed by Toriyama, but so were many of the movie villains, and, in spite of designing him, he was never added to the manga, and didn't appear in Battle of Gods. which was specifically described as a manga sequel several times, something that hasn't happened with Super so far.
Battle of Gods was originally described by Toriyama and the movie's script writer as a continuation of the manga's story, even making reference to the chapter numbers regarding the epilogue (rather than anime episodes) and how it'd take place before that. It's not clear what's the current position regarding those movies now.
I might be wrong but I don't think there really is a canon or non-canon.

This. DB started out as a gag manga, and is still one at heart. Toriyama and Toei just want to tell a fun story without caring too much about plotholes.
I think we should just be glad that Toriyama is so honest about his creative process, unlike such writers as for example George Lucas, Nintendo (Zelda series), etc., who pretend that they always have everything planned and that there's no inconsistencies in their stories.
