The product was released edited in an English-dub-only format on VHS and DVD, and is presented with a single audio track on both formats:
- 2.0 stereo sound English dub (FUNimation/Vancouver-based cast) with a replacement musical score (music by Shuki Levy)
Certain lines of dialog — namely those including the words "kill" or "death" — were replaced following the original broadcast in the initial batch of episodes; these revised dialog edits are present until FUNimation's "Rock the Dragon" edition in 2013.
Arrival includes one set of opening and ending themes surrounding the content of the four episodes, which, other than fade outs and ins from the non-existent commercial breaks, runs as a sort of "feature-length" presentation.
