Flight to Hell (2003)

Revealing mistake: The co-pilot for some reason is analyzing some "hi-frequency signals" that the computer is picking up. The loop is not fluid though, and you can pick an exact frame when it's not like a chart spikes, it's a movie clip being played that reached the end and is starting from the beginning with a whole different image. (00:20:15)

Flight to Hell (2003)

Continuity mistake: The position, timing, and persistence of the green lights/auras induced by the 'storm' of green goo appear inconsistent throughout the scene. (00:14:00)

Flight to Hell (2003)

Continuity mistake: Janet and the tech guy are copulating on the kitchen counter. We see them through one of the airplane window, then the camera angle changes, and they are doing it with a solid wall as background. (00:13:55)

Flight to Hell (2003)

Continuity mistake: First play, a couple wins $500,000. The flight attendant/croupier puts down 5 piles of red fiches. In the close-up where she completes the action, you can see on the table the glass the woman was drinking from a split-second before, and there's an orange chip that wasn't there. The player at the end of table is also holding his glass with a single hand and not two. (00:09:15)

Flight to Hell (2003)

Revealing mistake: The pilot gets in the car to go to work, and pulls away from the curb. Or rather, from a flat image of a road with a car (shadows and distance from the other parked car are all wrong). (00:03:40)

Tsubasa's Resurrection - S2-E8

Character mistake: Roberto says that Misugi already "peaked as a player" as opposed to Tsubasa who can improve. Since he does not know of Misugi's heart condition, the notion that a football player reached already his full potential when he is barely 11 years old is nonsense.

I Can't Play - S2-E7

Stupidity: Furano, Naniwa and Hanawa players are watching the semifinal from the stands. They all wear their team kits - T-shirt and shorts, but they played days before, there's no reason at all why they'd be dressed like that.

I Can't Play - S2-E7

Other mistake: Misaki dispossesses Akira Ichinose with an aerial tackle (which would be illegal anyway, since he's by every mean doing a flying kick at an opponent), but for that to happen the way it is shown, the player already must have lost control of the ball, since Misaki 's foot is hooking a ball situated behind the back leg of Ichinose. It's not what it is supposed (and described) to happen. (00:15:20)

I Can't Play - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: At halftime, the Musashi team members are toweling the sweat away. There are white, yellow, teal towels, but when one of them says that they are winning thanks to Misugi, he has a lavender towel, and the towels are all gone altogether when they answer "Yes" at the end. (00:03:45)

Continuity mistake: Chet visits his friends that are playing poker. He falls asleep and wakes when he hears the news on the radio. The band aids on his wound change abruptly position in close-up. (00:12:10)

Tsubasa in the Trap - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: Stripes and bangs of one of Misugi's female supporters in the crowd change again like they did in the previous episode, this time to a third different pattern. In this very same episode they are shown in recycled shots from their first appearance (thin red stripes on the top), too. (00:04:45 - 00:07:40)

Season 2 generally

Audio problem: In the Italian dub, starting with the match against Musashi FC ("Mambo FC"), Nankatsu's goalkeeper changes all of a sudden last name, from Alan Crocker to Alan Parker.

A Brilliant Fight - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: Misugi manages to block the "Golden Combi" intercepting Misaki's pass to Tsubasa. His cheerleaders voice their appreciation; next to a girl that wears a "JUN" T-shirt, there's her friend with a striped red and white tee. Too bad that it's entirely different stripes than before, from being of the same size to very thick whites and thin reds. (00:18:25)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

A Brilliant Fight - S2-E5

Revealing mistake: When Tsubasa runs with the ball at the kickoff after Misugi scored, Misaki by him runs with a weird animation that is missing frames. Tsubasa is also quite literally flatfooted. (00:15:05)

A Brilliant Fight - S2-E5

Other mistake: After the lengthy recap of the previous episode, Misugi is facing Teppei Kisugi, but the football shrinks during their struggle, being at one point smaller than the 10-year old's foot. (00:03:20)

A Wounded Prince - S2-E4

Other mistake: Sanada passes the ball to Honma as per Misugi's instructions. Honma gets it and runs...in the opposite direction, towards his own goal! Somehow it is the right direction, though. (00:13:20)
