Continuity mistake: After Jezzie and the principal have popped by the classroom finding it empty, Soneji is pushing the cart outside. Behind him, a couple of kids walking from left to right are walking in the path two guys walking in opposite direction, and they are ahead. But in the close-up on Michael Wincott, the two have crossed the other pair (those walking in the same direction as Soneji) walking well ahead of the others. (00:10:50)

Martian Successor Nadesico (1996)
Hayasugiru 'Sayonara'! - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: The Far Eastern Commander rises and tells the Supreme Commander that 70% of the crew is Japanese. Behind him, the person to the left of the frame is of fair complexion, while in the wider shot he had a much tanner skin color. It changes again when Yurika's dad is shown standing; now both people behind Tanaka Saburu are fair skinned, and the one to the right lost his facial hair. (00:04:00)

Ranma ½ (1989)
Kotsuban uranai! Ranma wa nihonichi no oyomesan - S1-E14
Continuity mistake: Discussing Tofu's finances, Akane leans on Nabiki's bed warning her about messing with the poor clueless man. In the overhead shots Akane's torso and arms are drawn much higher than her position should be, as if she were standing by the bed or be closer to it, while in the other views she's on her knees and just leaning forward. (00:06:55)

Lupin III (2015)
The Marriage of Lupin III - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Lupin puts the wedding ring on Rebecca's finger. Right at that moment Zenigata barges in, and a very amused Rebecca begins cheering and jumping excited...with her gloves on. (00:02:30)
22nd Nov 2019
Ranma ½ (1989)
Shanpû no hangeki! Hissatsu shiatsuken wa mimo kokomo ubau - S1-E16
Continuity mistake: When Saotome narrates the technique he saw Shampoo perform on Akane, he is holding the tea cup in his hands; hand position and polka dot pattern vary between the two shots. (00:19:20)
22nd Nov 2019
Ranma ½ (1989)
Shanpû no hangeki! Hissatsu shiatsuken wa mimo kokomo ubau - S1-E16
Continuity mistake: Akane opens the door and looks into the bedroom. The futon Ranma sleeps in is blue with a white border, but when Shampoo in close-up is snuggling up to him, it's all blue. (00:03:00)
22nd Nov 2019
Lupin III (2015)
Continuity mistake: When Brozzi approaches Lupin in the bar, Jigen distances the glass from his lips before the first cut, but the glass is up and tilted towards his mouth in the next shot. (00:05:05)
22nd Nov 2019
Batwoman (2019)
Continuity mistake: In the shot when Luke puts back on the table the double action grapple hook, the large bullet-shaped item next to it changes position compared to the rest of the scene. (00:11:30)
22nd Nov 2019
Ranma ½ (1989)
Gekiretsu shoujo Shanpû toujou! Watashi inochi azukemasu - S1-E15
Continuity mistake: When Shampoo and Akene glare at each other from opposite sides of the room, Ranma has the broken weapon embedded in his cranium, but the other one has disappeared. (00:12:05)
22nd Nov 2019
Ranma ½ (1989)
Gekiretsu shoujo Shanpû toujou! Watashi inochi azukemasu - S1-E15
Continuity mistake: When Shampoo breaks into the series, the parfait cups on the table change position a few times; Akane's glass is towards the middle of the table or closer to her. (00:02:50)
22nd Nov 2019
Mobile Suit Gundam (1979)
Continuity mistake: The distance between Char and Sayla when she holds him at gunpoint diminishes greatly between shots - to the point that he can just kick the gun off her hand. (00:13:00)
22nd Nov 2019
Ranma ½ (1989)
Kotsuban uranai! Ranma wa nihonichi no oyomesan - S1-E14
Continuity mistake: Akane and Ranma watch Dr. Tofu as he begins to mess things up being all flustered by handling Kasumi's dish. Close to them by the entrance, a red book and a teal book are piled together in the overhead shot, but curiously enough, we see in 2 separate shots that follow first the red book only, then the teal book only, both in the same spot as earlier. (00:02:35)
22nd Nov 2019
Ranma ½ (1989)
Ranma o gekiai! Shintaisou no sukeban toujou - S1-E11
Continuity mistake: Kodachi is standing in front of the window spinning her ribbon and creating a storm of black rose petals. Cut to Akane, and Kodachi jumps away off-screen. When Akane stands in front of the window, the mess in the room is much greater (which could be understandable) but the books on her desk have also changed color. (00:14:50)
22nd Nov 2019
Ranma ½ (1989)
Ranma o gekiai! Shintaisou no sukeban toujou - S1-E11
Continuity mistake: In the wide shot opening the episode, the girl to the right of the 'mysterious' girl (turning out to be Kodachi) has a bandage on the right knee up to about half her thigh, but it's gone in the next shot. Notice also the girl in the middle not having any band-aid on her left cheek, while she does when Ranma walks in on them after getting ice cream. (00:01:50)
22nd Nov 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
Continuity mistake: Hastings buys a large scotch for Rupert Carrington. You can see in the wide shot Hugh Fraser with his right hand raised to give the coins to the bartender. But in the next shot, Hastings' hand is not in frame yet, and he even ends up paying with the left hand instead. (00:30:00)
22nd Nov 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
Continuity mistake: At the hotel, the Count is checking in. Behind him by the revolving doors you can see three people having a conversation, with one being a woman wearing a distinct floral dress and brown stole. He steps away from the concierge and the same woman is having a chat in a different part of the hotel, right part of the frame. (00:03:30)

Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
How Does Your Garden Grow? - S3-E2
Continuity mistake: Poirot asks Dr. Sims "So the Delafontaines, they were dependant" etc., the doctor's right hand changes position between shots, and the hand positions keep alternating between the two versions depending on the camera angle (an item suddenly appears in his hand when Miss Lemon mentions the living relatives, too). (00:26:30)
20th Nov 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: Poirot is concentrating in London, making a house of cards. When he says "I steady my nerves, that is all", the 6 of hearts can be seen in his right hand, and he sets it as the diagonal piece. Cut to Hastings, and then Poirot supposedly still has the same house in front of him...but it is not. Where the 6 of hearts was, there is now a 6 of spades, and the whole castle is different, with the cards pulled tighter together. Later he rebuilds the house, and he sets horizontally in the close-up a 5 of spades, which turns into the 2 of spades immediately after. (01:19:40)

Batwoman (2019)
Continuity mistake: The bat-signal (or bat-light as Alice calls it) is on a rooftop looking entirely different from the one established in the first episode (from minute 4 on). (00:03:10)
Suggested correction: Yes, because Kate re-designed it.
Ohhh, okay. I must have missed the part when she said she was doing it, my bad. Which episode?
I'll have to look that up, which I will when I have a chance, but it follows in line with the redesign of the batsuit and emblem.

Ranma ½ (1989)
Gekiretsu shoujo Shanpû toujou! Watashi inochi azukemasu - S1-E15
