Notes
- ↑ According to the 1996 book Age of the Gods written and self-published by Guy Mariner Tucker (p. 221), Teruyoshi Nakano was ceremoniously credited as the series' director of special effects.[1] However, this is demonstrably false, as Nakano's name never appeared in the series' credits. All of the episodes' special effects were directed either by Yoshio Tabuchi, Koichi Kawakita, or Koichi Takano, occasionally intercut with stock effects footage directed by Nakano.
