Episode 1 is from FUNimation's Blu-ray remaster. It's missing the opening and ending credits, it has the movie 1 stamp in the opening, the video size is somewhat larger, the colors are closer to FUNi's masters and there are no next episode previews. However, episode 2 through 5 are from the Dragon Box, as they feature credits for opening and ending, no movie 1 stamp and they include next episode previews.
Oddly enough, the next episode previews are not subtitled. Even odder is how the episodes are listed with FUNimation's episode titles, even though the subs show the actual titles. AND ON TOP OF THAT, episode 1 uses the Japanese title card, as opposed to how FUNi stuck with the English title cards on their release.
That is... incredibly random...

The quality definitely needs to be better. Then again, Daisuki just put this up. Gonna give them a heads up and see if better quality can be put up.

I'm pretty sure the next episode previews are not subbed because Toei might not have received a revised subtitle master after FUNimation did the Dragon Box. At least, that's my theory.

Interesting how they are using the dub-based episode titles and summaries here even though the episodes are Japanese-only right now.

If you notice, the OP and ED for episode 1 have significantly higher sound quality than the episode itself. Does this mean that the audio is from the Dragon Box or was it like that on the Bluray?

It's like that in both. It's the episodes themselves that have the awful audio quality because of Toei not having access to higher audio quality for the episodes themselves anymore.

They have high quality versions of those music tracks so they probably used those sources. It works out since you only have music and no sound effects.
