The TV series has only been released on DVD in the UK, whereas later North American releases were bundled with Blu-ray discs. With Britian's first release of the series, several reviewers noted the high fan demand for an uncut DVD version following its American release six years earlier and the relative value of starting with the Collection sets. Although the first 574 episodes remain unavailable on HD Blu-ray in Japan, an international release beginning at the first episode is scheduled for January 2022. Collections 1-13 use the PAL masters created by Madman, [4] whereas Collection Fourteen onward are identical to the NTSC discs released in America, even referring to the US "Voyage" releases in the menus.The audio and translation issues were carried over to the Blu-ray release of Movie 8, [41] but did not affect movies 10 and 12. The first 206 episodes were originally produced in 4:3 "Fullscreen" and episodes 207 onward were produced in 16:9 "widescreen", however some releases crop episodes from their original aspect ratio. Due to music licensing issues, the theme song Fanfare was replaced with an instrumental piece from the film's soundtrack.

These releases split the series differently to the Seasons and skip some episodes that weren't directly based on manga chapters. The TV series is divided into "Seasons" for home video and initially released as single disc "Pieces" containing 2-5 episodes; the first DVD was released on February 21, 2001 and contained four episodes.

While the release of movies not licensed in America was appreciated, the Movie Collection DVDs themselves were considered disappointing. As was typical of Funimation before the release of their "Season 4", Funimation dubbed the closing theme Compass for the English dub track of this release. The 'In The Booth with Brina Palencia' special feature, which was advertised but not included with the US release of Season Five: Voyage Four, is included in Collection Thirteen. The Adventure Of Dead End · The Cursed Holy Sword · Baron Omatsuri and The Secret Island · Take Aim! Uniquely, the DVD release contains both the English and Japanese logo depending on which audio track is selected; both languages use the Japanese credits with animation, followed by silent English credits referencing both versions.

Some reviews criticized the earlier DVDs' video quality for including noticeable compression artifacts such as macroblocking, although these problems were noted to be less apparent in later volumes, particularly once the DVDs started using HD masters. This is the first English Dubbed material released by Funimation involving the post timeskip Straw Hats. Like the American releases, the uncut version and Funimation dub were considered a more effective approach to the series than 4Kids' edited version as aired on TV. Further episodes were presented uncropped in their retail release, but in 4:3 on the rental version; this caused the misconception among international fans that all Japanese DVD copies of the episodes were in 4:3 after rental DVD copies were circulated online.
