Seeing as we are somewhat encountering a 'revival' of the franchise at the minute, I thought it would be interesting to attempt to chart the development and release of each adaptation in the franchise, to see how we got here from a production standpoint.

It's interesting to see how quickly things picked up after the 2008 JSAT special, particularly on the manga front. Let me know if you find any inconsistencies or errors in the above, and I'll be more than happy to fix them. I couldn't find any information on whether Victory Mission/SD are still running, hence the question marks in 2015 for them. That 'World of DBZ' thing was a recap special Funimation made from older material, which if I remember correctly was a 20 minute teaser for the Androids Saga DVDs. I attempted to colour the various adaptations by 'era', but after 1997 the colours are somewhat arbitrary of course.
Edit- Updated to clarify the Trunks TV special. As far as I can tell, it aired in the regular anime timeslot that week, albeit for a longer period.
