Takishîdo wa kaze ni mau - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: The bad guys at the beginning of the episode shoot Wendy and send her flying. Her gun falls to the ground with her and in the foreground we see that it falls with the grip facing away from her. In the rest of the scene it's facing towards her, and the position of the gun itself on the ground changes often. (00:01:20)

Character mistake: During Babybelle's phone fling conversation about naming her flower-flavored wine, she says "Maybe I should say it tastes like a rose and it's thorns." Should be "its".
26th Jan 2022
Continuity mistake: Janusz is knocked off the ladder by Vigo's power surge. He then writhes on the floor as Vigo addresses him, alternatively touching the floor with his hand or not between shots. (00:22:30)
26th Jan 2022
Continuity mistake: Peter got carried away playing with the kid, and his pitchy garbling summons Dana from the baby bedroom. He notices her and says something about a clear liquid; the tie of the baby bib is fully behind his back, but at the next cut the tie is across the shoulder. (00:19:10)
26th Jan 2022
Character mistake: Ray and Egon are giving Oscar the check-up; Ray suggests to run a "Gammill and Pross Infant Acuity Test", which does not exist and is an inside-joke in the screenplay, since Tom Gammill and Max Pross are a duo of comedy writers. Egon agrees and says that they'll finish with an Apgar score, which is a real pediatric term - but it's a test for literal newborns, not an eight months old one like Oscar. (00:16:05)

Continuity mistake: In the first scene at the museum, Dr. Janosz Poha approaches Dana that is restoring a Bonington. In this first wide shot Dana is brushing a spot with barely any brown paint on it, but in the close-up that follows she's retouching a different part where the color is thick, and the left side of the painting looks different again when he touches her hair. (00:12:20)
26th Jan 2022
Continuity mistake: During Peter's chat show, the second guest narrates a bizarre and kinda creepy story about the alien who dragged her to his room. She concludes the story with a disturbed expression on her face, but when the camera angle changes and Peter stands, she's actually smiling without any relation to the mood of the previous shot. It is in fact a direct continuation of the very first shot of the show. (00:10:20)
26th Jan 2022
Continuity mistake: Egon is running his test on the married couple. He is about to write a note once his assistant has further tortured them with the announcement of another half an hour of wait. Sigourney Weaver has her arms crossed in one shot, but addresses Egon in the next shot having her hand on her chin. (00:06:15)

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 5 - S1-E14
Stupidity: When the Puppeteer is shot, like any good villain he's actually wearing a bulletproof vest. However, a bulletproof vest is not a magical forcefield that neutralizes kinetic energy; this guy barely flinches when hit. Neither are flames; his fire trick raises a literal firewall, but firewalls are not literal walls, they do not stop bullets. The policemen could easily keep shooting through it (he throws a glove at Kindaichi through it), but they just do not, for no reason.

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 5 - S1-E14
Continuity mistake: When the mastermind does his dramatic escape, the policemen are in front of him (Kenmochi literally at arm's length), but there's nobody in his way when he throws his projectile. (00:18:15)
26th Jan 2022
The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 4 - S1-E13
Other mistake: Kindaichi puts on the table the map of the two buildings. The one to the right has a cutout part, but still shows as a full sheet. (00:19:00)
26th Jan 2022
The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 3 - S1-E12
Stupidity: When Kirisawa's body is discovered, it means that he was completely overlooked during the headcount and at every point during the day. With students disappearing left and right, that's a pretty big oversight - that somehow the killer anticipated, because his body discovered last was crucial for the plan.

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 3 - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: The burn marks on Adechi's tracksuit change throughout the episode. For instance, look at his left forearm; sometimes it has a dark spot, some other times it does not. (00:16:00 - 00:17:15)
26th Jan 2022
The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 3 - S1-E12
Plot hole: Kujiragi's textbook is missing. It's a plot point and it's something the culprit did to plant an evidence using a page from it. However, when the case is solved, this point is glossed over; only a page from the book was needed, which the culprit could have ripped away at any moment without stealing the book, and more importantly, when Kindaichi finds the book, there was no window of opportunity for the killer to put it back; Kindaichi and Kujiragi were right there in the corridor the whole time. The live version adaptation fixes this hole because the character finds his book only the day after, in class.

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 3 - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: Kujiragi grabs Kindaichi asking about his textbook; Kindaichi raises both hands almost putting them in the aggressor's face, but at the cut you get an unobstructed view of him; Kindaichi's arms are lowered. (00:05:00)
26th Jan 2022
The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 2 - S1-E11
Character mistake: When we first see Kindaich in English glass, the blackboard behind the masked teacher shows the word "grammar" misspelled into "grammer." (00:12:10)
26th Jan 2022
The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 2 - S1-E11
Continuity mistake: In the opening shot of the 'briefing' about the camp's structure, Kendaichi's backpack is twice the size it turns out to be in the rest of the scene. (00:03:20)
26th Jan 2022
The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 2 - S1-E11
Stupidity: The whole story of the 5 episode arc requires unhealthy amounts of suspension of disbelief; the killer directly challenged the police and announced where and when the murders will take place; at a 3 days prep school camp. Despite that, one of the teachers, a new one at the job even, is allowed to attend the camp wearing a ski mask, supposedly to hide hideous burns, and the police just lets him in without checking. And yes, he's the criminal, not even a red herring. By comparison, in the live version adaptation they check him, and he's wearing prosthetic scars.

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 1 - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: Once the Puppeteer disappears, you can't see Miyuki's glass and the box on the table any more either (but she has another table behind her when you see her hand in the foreground). (00:21:30)
26th Jan 2022
The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 1 - S1-E10
Stupidity: Paragon of cleverness inspector Adechi somehow did not check for any trap in the mysterious box he received, and brought it to a crowded cafe just, so he could show it to the kids. For the explosive trick to work, the puppeteer needed also to know exactly where Kenmochi would be seated and which seats would later Kindaichi and Miyuki pick, since the box had to be at such an angle that the puppet would be propelled to the exact spot on the roof that acted as podium.
