Hida Mechanical Mansion Murder Case: File 3 - S1-E20
Plot hole: The plot is based on the fact that a certain character was disguised as the presumed first victim. At the same time, the two characters have a different body type (otherwise the gap in the window would be obviously too small), so the turn of events does not make sense. Moreover, supposedly the victim suffered serious burns in a fire, which would be absent in the corpse.

Hida Mechanical Mansion Murder Case: File 1 - S1-E18
Continuity mistake: When Shino puts her hand on her mouth witnessing the disfigured face of Akanuma, her sleeve covers her face differently between shots. (00:18:20)

Hikou Isle Murder Case: File 3 - S1-E15
Continuity mistake: When Kindaichi strips Midori, he yanks the bra completely off the breast bringing it all the way below the ribcage. That's in the front views, because in the back view merely the shoulder strap is lowered, the rest of the undergarment is perfectly horizontal and unperturbed.

Hikou Isle Murder Case: File 1 - S1-E13
Other mistake: Miyuki manages to pinch Kindaichi's buttcheek while being in front of him, at an impossible angle. (00:06:45)

Wax Doll Castle Murder Case: File 3 - S1-E9
Factual error: The culprit merely drops a chandelier from the ceiling in an unplanned move. From that simple action, the whole building - a huge castle - catches fire so quickly you'd think it's made out of papier-mâche soaked in gasoline, not stone.

Hiren Lake Legend Murder Case: File 2 - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: Eiji just left to get help through the lake. When Miyuki says "Not really" on the topic of jealousy, the sheets are pulled all the way up to her chin, but they are lower in the following shot. (00:06:45)

Hiren Lake Legend Murder Case: File 1 - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When Kindaichi and the others talk with the mature couple, the president is wearing a purple-ish jacket and a red shirt. At dinner, they make a comment about Miyuki and Eiji Touno being a couple. From behind, the president is wearing his jacket, but from the front he's just wearing the red shirt. (00:09:40)

Hiren Lake Legend Murder Case: File 3 - S1-E6
Plot hole: As it often happens in this sort of murder mystery, there's a switching act at one point, and one of the 'disfigured bodies' is not who it is presumed to be. Good, but the problem is that the presumed victim and the person who really died have radically different skin tones, and it'd be practically impossible for anyone who knows them to mix them up - even moreso for the genius detective Hajime Kindaichi.

Academy's Seven Mysteries Murder Case: File 3 - S1-E3
Plot hole: A corpse has been buried inside the walls of the building for 10 years. It's covered by just a poster, and a poster from a current high schooler. If we assume the first victim was the one who put the poster there, then it means that it was just randomly uncovered by the earthquake from episode 1, which would make the chain of coincidences nothing short than miraculous. She basically one day said "I heard there was a murder here where we all hang out all the time" and the ground by its own accord opened to reveal a skeleton without her doing anything.

Academy's Seven Mysteries Murder Case: File 2 - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: Kenmochi puts his hand on Kindaichi's shoulder, open palm and full grip. A split-second later he's waving at him the police badge with the same hand. (00:02:00)

Academy's Seven Mysteries Murder Case: File 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Sakuragi hints that she knows Makabe's secret, and snubs him completely. He storms out and stumbles upon his ghost writer Tomoyo Takajima. She is wearing just a right glove, but when he backhands her, she is wearing gloves on both hands. (00:12:25)
7th Jan 2022
Academy's Seven Mysteries Murder Case: File 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Sakuragi hands Kindaichi the meeting minutes from 1987, the floppy disk is in a different position in the wider angle, and the book itself is headlined by two kanjis written vertically, instead of horizontally like in close-up. (00:10:35)

Other mistake: The "How to play" instruction demo informs that "The strength of your attack is based on the length of time you you press each button", with a repetition of the word "you."

Soshite, ame wa furiyuku - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: Wendy falls asleep after Van called out an unfamiliar name. Between the two shots when this happens, the hair on her forehead is drawn in completely different positions. (00:08:30)

Soshite, ame wa furiyuku - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When Wendy takes Van's coat off to wipe him clean and check for wounds, her hair falls entirely in front of both shoulders in some shots, just some front bangs in other shots. (00:07:20)
6th Jan 2022
Continuity mistake: During the musical montage when Neo sees again the birds fly in the same pattern, there's a bit when "Tiffany" gets her order from the counter and exits the coffee shop. Neo is eating from his poke bowl, chopsticks in his left hand. His right hand is flat on the table, but in the next shot we see him through the window, and his right hand is turned 90°. (00:26:25)
6th Jan 2022
Other mistake: Neo and Trinity are pushed by a horde of zombie-like bots inside a "kill-zone." A helicopter fires rockets at them. In the wide angle of the cars blowing up, the second pair of cars explodes without any rocket CGI effect added. It's like they just blow up spontaneously. (02:06:25)
