Hâto ni hi wo tsukete - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Muscat and Honey Cherry are exchanging sappy vows. There are two heart-shaped straws in the glass. Depending on the angle the quantity of ice cubes in the glass changes, and when Muscat grabs his gun to jump towards Van's booth, you can notice that the straw is drawn wrong, with its end coming off the side of the heart instead of the bottom.

Opera House Murder Case: File 2 - S1-E22

Other mistake: When Okata discovers the clue about the first murder in the recording room, the shadow cast in close-up is different from the wider angle - and it's also an impossible one, because the only light in the room is the one of her own flashlight, which couldn't be angled at the trolley that way.

Opera House Murder Case: File 1 - S1-E21

Other mistake: Kindaichi and Miyuki are chatting with the lead actor who is sipping a Coke. There's a fierce argument onstage between the actresses; somehow the actor, in full stage garb, calmly shows up onstage to catch the end of the argument way before the other two kids get in the room running.

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.

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.

Gentleman Thief's Murder: File 3 - S1-E12

Plot hole: The murder trick works only because the cordless phone is not addressed at all. We never see the killer dispose of it or anyone look for it - the fact that it was misplaced would have exposed the trick instantly.

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 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)
