details

• During the show's opening credits, black silhouettes of the show's various
  characters (Ultraman, some of the show's monsters, and the Science Patrol
  logo) are shown against a colorful smoky background. In the US version,
  most of the silhouettes are featured, sans credits.
• In the Japanese version, the very beginning of the show (before the
  credits) has the same swirling-paint effect title shot from the previous TV
  series, "Urutora Q" (1965) (only in color), where the effect swirls
  into the "Ultra Q" title, and then, a sudden blast of red envelops the
  shot, with a white "Ultraman" appearing (The subtitle "A Special Effects
  Fantasy Series" then appears at the bottom). The US version has the very
  same effect, except that the English title "Ultra Man" is featured on both
  the swirling-paint effect and the red blast effect (both in the same font
  and instance).
• The name of the episode is shown at the beginning of the credits, and the
  weekly monster/alien actually receives a "featuring" credit at the end of
  the credits.
