While the release of movies not licensed in America was appreciated, the Movie Collection DVDs themselves were considered disappointing.

Eternal Log" Blu-ray releases began in January 2021, with each release containing upwards of sixty episodes in Standard Definition (even for episodes produced in HD); [4] due to the higher capacity of Blu-ray discs compared to DVDs, and the relativity low resolution of the video compared to an HD encode, the Eternal Logs include significantly more episode per disc than other releases.
