The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 1 - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: Kindaichi just discovered the murdered student. In the close-up of his hands clutching the crumpled paper, the spiked booklet and his closed fist are across two floor tiles. In the other shots, both were on the single last row of large tiles before the wall. (00:07:55)

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 1 - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: The blonde student leads Miyuki inside the dilapidated school and says hi to the other student that is checking out a billboard. In the close-up you can see that she's standing on the left side of the billboard. In the wider angle she is standing on the right side. (00:05:35)

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 1 - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: In the intro's last shot, the shadow on the puppet changes entirely from the rest of the scene. (00:00:40)
28th Dec 2021
Continuity mistake: When King mentions the two brothers' "destiny", his big feline is at Young Diabolik's side, facing King and the others. Aerial shot, and the panther is at King's side facing Diabolik. (00:05:00)

The Alchemy Murder Case File 4 - S1-E9
Plot hole: The ending is funny, but it does not make sense, since as it was mentioned in the first episode, there was literally 1 ton of metal to remove, and it was in the shape of a door. Not only it would have needed 32 trips (as the nerd girl says in the first episode) from the secluded house to a large boat they somehow needed to have standing by and was undetected when the island was searched earlier, but they also needed to dismantle the door, since that's what the gold was turned into.

The Alchemy Murder Case File 3 - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: When Kindaichi shatters the vase, its remnants and the flowers are positioned on a different spot of the floor between shots. (00:19:20)

The Alchemy Murder Case File 3 - S1-E8
Stupidity: The plot throws in a drawing from a XVII century tome asserting that the building was designed with alchemic purposes by the scientist who built it. Wonderful, but the concept is not carried out coherently; the elements (as in, elements from the periodic table, which does not fit the era already, but let's say it was an original take) are placed with no relation to the basic scheme. For instance, Tin is in the "Moon" position, and its murder was executed with Fire, and some intersections have one room, some two, with no logic.

Revealing mistake: In the intro of the game, look at the newspaper on the desk in the shot when you can only see the arms of the protagonist. The headline to the left of the picture is handwritten.

The Alchemy Murder Case File 3 - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: When the producer is reading in bed the script for Gold Rush, he holds the book with 3 fingers touching the letters, which turn to 4 fingers in close-up. (00:09:35)
28th Dec 2021
The Alchemy Murder Case File 3 - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: When the paper cup falls to the floor, it spills water between two floor tiles or just on one depending on the shot. (00:05:15)
28th Dec 2021
The Alchemy Murder Case File 3 - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: Kindaichi and Miyuki visit the jittery former idol. She pours herself a drink of water from a bottle that changes shape between shots. (00:05:00)
28th Dec 2021
The Alchemy Murder Case File 3 - S1-E8
Revealing mistake: The setup of the story is the usual; characters forced to coop together at a secluded location, they can't contact the outside world and one of them is a killer. In this case, they are on an island and the only radio they had been on the boat that someone set on fire. However, when one of the suspects shows Kindaichi a photo from their smartphone, the screen shows that they have an active 3G connection. (00:08:00)

The Alchemy Murder Case File 2 - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: In the final murder of the episode, the smashed pieces of the vase change position on the floor between shots; easy to spot when you go by the floor tiles and the grid they form. (00:19:25)
28th Dec 2021
The Alchemy Murder Case File 2 - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: When Miyuki wakes up from the drug effect, the bottle on the floor originated a puddle of water that changes between shots. (00:18:45)
28th Dec 2021
The Alchemy Murder Case File 2 - S1-E7
Revealing mistake: The director is drinking alone and freaks out about to go on a murderous rage. In the shot when she realises that her snacks have been tampered with and stands up, the bottle of "Yontory whisky" she is drinking from has a different texture from the rest of the scene. The snacks themselves also change position between shots. (00:17:00)
28th Dec 2021
The Alchemy Murder Case File 2 - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: Miyuki and Reika are alone in the makeshift cell. When they sit on the bed after Kindaichi left them alone, the bottles on the table keep changing the direction they face between shots - just look at the "500 ml" notation, which faces the camera in 1 out of 3 bottles in the first two shots - which are taken at opposed angles - and then in all 3 bottles in close-up. (00:14:20)

The Alchemy Murder Case File 1 - S1-E6
Stupidity: Kindaichi is on the set of a reality show, with a film crew. When one person goes missing, he is the one who comes up with the idea to tell those people, a reality show film crew, to check the footage of the cameras, and the TV people are shocked by this brilliant idea.
28th Dec 2021
The Alchemy Murder Case File 1 - S1-E6
Revealing mistake: When Kindaichi shifts the stage screen Miyuki is holding, her fingers are not gripping the sides in the new position. Unless she is keeping it up sticking the back of it to her palms like Spider-man, it is impossible. She does hold it normally in all the other shots. (00:01:55)

Reika Hayami and the Uninvited Guest - S1-E5
Stupidity: The plot hinges on the fact that the culprit switched clothes with the guy in the bathroom. It would be unfair to say that they do not address the issue, since both the shoes and the belt buckle are mentioned. However, this can work just in a cartoon, since he could wear without any issue and looking absolutely dapper the jacket and shirt of an obese guy. Anyone trying that in reality wouldn't just have to tighten the belt.
