Animage’s form of episode listings that still uses the same name to this day. These were pretty expanded as one would think for the first issue and eventually turned into text only with a small screencap and then much later text only to fit so many series’. Each series included a brief word/short interview from someone involved with the series (sometimes more than one in various instances), those names will be in parenthesis next to their respective series.
