  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 Information is taken from the opening credits of each episode.
  2. ↑ Adam Paloian did not use the supervising director title in his episodes at first. Instead, he used the title "storyboard supervisor" up until episode 213a, where he is credited as a supervising director from then on.
  3. ↑ So far, this is the only episode that has not used the animation director credit. Instead, Jaques is credited as a timing director.
