Beauty and the Obese: Part 1 - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Right after the opening scene where the model suddenly inflates to fat, we are taken to The Tender Loins club where the exterior shot shows a line of people with a bouncer checking each one. In this shot, his arms are down at his side, but then it cuts a close up and suddenly he has his hand lifted to his face looking at someone's I.D. (00:01:40)

Stoking Rebellion - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: At the diner when Tsunoda and Retsuko are talking, Tsunoda pulls out a red phone with a white heart on it from her purse. In the close up she is pulling it out with her left hand and the phone is horizontal with the heart on its side.

Hindsight: Part 3 - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Wolverine opens the door as Emma Frost is there, he is standing roughly two steps away from her. When he asks her why she's there, he takes a couple steps towards her and still only manages to be roughly the same distance away from her as he started. (00:02:17)

Sharkbait - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: To beat the traffic, Coop skateboards inside a construction pipe. The pipe is on the back of a truck, so it's not exactly very long, and gets picked up by a crane arm mounted on the truckbed itself. However, Coop takes ages to come out of the pipe, and in the shot from inside the pipe it looks as if is dozens of meters above the street level, which isn't. (00:08:00)

Nanatsu no Taizai - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Elizabeth starts weeping, her bodysuit is torn above her left breast with a single tear.

Kessei! CLAMP gakuen tanteidan - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Nokoru Imonoyama is looking at the dossier about the brother-in-law of their client. The chart showing the sorry state of his business looks different from the close-up when Nokoru puts it down - for instance, it's bi-color grey and white, when it was simply with white background before.

Parent Substitute - S1-E37

Continuity mistake: In the last classroom scene, the blue oval design on Gabby's cap appears and disappears between a few of the last shots of the scene, first when Vinnie runs up to Professor Q (because Rocket went ahead and switched both his and Gabby's test papers) and later when Professor Q was talking about how he was ∞ proud of Vinnie. (00:10:10)

The Catwoman from Channel Six - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: The watch on Irma's left wrist repeatedly appears or disappears between shots, as well as mid-shot, and it even switches to her right wrist. Two examples: at the subway station, Irma walks toward the Turtles, and her watch switches from her right wrist to her left; when Irma finally meets her "dream man," the "hunky Splinter guy" in the sewer lair, her watch vanishes.
