Things that the various English DVD & Blu-Ray releases did better than the Japanese ones?
Are there any things that you think the various English DVD & Blu-Ray releases did better than the Japanese ones?

Most would make a case for the ill-fated Level sets, in which the remasters looked closer to the original cels than even the celebrated Dragon Boxes did.

English subtitles!
(Joking aside, ditto on the "the Level sets are the best the footage has ever looked" sentiment.)

Episode count and I'm guessing price.
The biggest truths aren't original. The truth is ketchup. It's Jim Belushi. Its job isn't to blow our minds. It's to be within reach.

Releasing the old movies on Blu-Ray uncut.
Do you have any info about international non-English broadcasts about the Dragon Ball anime or manga translations/editions? Please message me. Researching for a future book with Dragon Ball scholar Derek Padula

Packaging. I much prefer the size and style of the NA Dragon Boxes vs the two JP ones. They’re more compact and you get unique character art per box that’s front and center. The JP ones have the same art of course but it’s utilized very strangely; Vol. 1 in particular where you have a gigantic cut-off Freeza on the bottom left and a tiny Goku on the top right.
Also, as terrible as the picture quality of the orange bricks are, seeing the blue bricks, orange bricks and green bricks all next to each other on a shelf looks really nice.
This is overall, of course. The latest sets have started to look either generic or terrible; the art of the recent 16:9 blu-ray sets (the ones that have 3 seasons per set) just looks awful. The 30th anniversary box had bad looking art too.
