Samurai Champloo picture

Stranger Searching - S1-E6

Factual error: When the large Dutch guy tells his story about his life in Holland, there are a several windmills. However, the blades are placed on the wrong side, that way it's not possible for a windmill to turn clockwise, which it does. If the blades were placed correctly, they would still turn to the wrong side, because wooden windmills in The Netherlands are always turning counter-clockwise.

Entzünde dein Kosmo - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Seiya creates a large crater in the arena, deep enough that he has to step out of it to offer his handshake to his adversary. Cassios refuses the handshake and kicks him, making Seiya jump away. He then charges at Seiya in a straight line, as if the crater didn't exist, but when Shaina screams at him telling him to get out of the way, Cassios is exactly on the edge of the massive hole. It's as if he walked on air during his charge. (00:06:20)

Vinari - S1-E24

Continuity mistake: In the close-up of putting the lids on the bottles, Mat's hands have 5 fingers (briefly done by a real person instead of the puppets). However, throughout the series, the duo is consistently 4-fingered - and that includes other close-ups that were also created with real hands briefly replacing the animation.
