Continuity mistake: Ranma chased by Shampoo keeps running in circles around the breakfast table. Akane is eating from a brown colored bowl, but when she gets up and screams she had enough, on the table there are only light purple bowls. We can get a glimpse of the brown one on the table a moment later once Shampoo bounces off Akane flicking away with her toes.(00:04:15)
Other mistake: After beating up the dummy, Akane is thinking back about her 'relationship' with Ranma. During her thoughts, the first memory that pops to her mind is something that has not happened yet, Ranma moving in front of her and saying "She's MY fiancee", part of the story arc at the ice rink that will happen only later in the series (Episode 20 of the English dub, which unites both Ranma series in one, episode 8 of the Ranma Ranma ½; Nettô-hen series; "Kikiippatsu! Shiryō no Bonodori"). More recent home video editions have fixed the mistake, airing the ice rink episodes before the Shampoo ones - which is where they should have been in the first place; Shampoo's debut episode was preempted last minute in the original airing to help unsatisfying ratings with the appearance of one of the most popular manga characters.(00:15:50)
Continuity mistake: Ryoga arrives in the room with a bucket of water, threatening to expose Ranma. During the rest of the scene his position in the room (and the way the sign on the top part of the wall hangs) keep changing, shifting closer to the outside door or the inner part of the room.(00:09:35)
Continuity mistake: In the flashback to the first meeting in China, Ranma dodges Shampoo's assault hopping on top of the metal ball of her chuí mace. Seen from behind, the corn ear in her mouth is turned the opposite way compared to the other views, as you can tell by the cob.(00:06:10)
Continuity mistake: While Ranma is talking to Soun Tendo, Shampoo is rubbing against him. His hands are down on the tatami, then the right arm is in midair, then when Akane enters the room again in a rage, the arm is down again, and in the reverse shot he is even almost lying down.(00:12:50)
Continuity mistake: Ranma begins washing Akane's hair in a full white sink, showing an orange interior and trim in the angle from the drain, fully orange when she rips it off, and again white with orange trim when Ranma is in a pile of its rubble.(00:05:16)
Continuity mistake: Akane parries the lunging blow by Shampoo who accuses her of hiding Ranma. Her fingers are on yellow slices of her chui, with a green section on top. In the following shot, it's the other way around; the slices in equatorial position are green and the poles are yellow.(00:09:35)
Continuity mistake: Akane begins guessing Ranma's name, and for each wrong guess the classmates in the background assume a wacky position. Right between "ROM" and "Help me Ronda" though, the classmates are in the initial position instead of the one following the Ranko ginsu knives.(00:13:55)
Continuity mistake: Kasumi is at the shops in town. She hears distant shouts and looks over. Her ponytail is animated as it flops down her shoulder, ribbon in front. Different view, and the ribbon is lying on top of her shoulder.(00:16:55)
Continuity mistake: Every guest of the house is crowding Ranma with requests of souvenirs from China. Nabiki asks for "one of those silk dresses", and she is making a gesture sticking one finger out. Reverse shot, and it is a two-finger gesture.(00:08:50)
Continuity mistake: After the scene with naked Ryoga in the gym warehouse, Ranma is walking home with Akane. He is walking on top of a wall that transitions from concrete to horizontal palisade, but as the shot changes, it is a full fence all along. Not just that; the billboard located in front of the junction has different notes posted on it, from 2 to 3.(00:16:00)
Continuity mistake: When Ranma wins the championship away from Shampoo with a decisive kick, her weapon flies away spinning around in the dedicated view, but in the long shot both her maces are flying away with no rotation.(00:07:00)
Continuity mistake: Akane's sisters reassure her that Ranma is not fancying Shampoo (Nabiki hilariously remarks that he does not have the guts to cheat on her). She peeks back at him perched on the birdhouse, and you can see he still has his hand raised and finger pointed at Shampoo - but in the next shot, he has both hands down for support.(00:16:25)
Continuity mistake: Soun Tendo sprints to Akane once she regains her memory; Ranma was lying on the floor with his pigtail over the shoulder, but it's in the middle of the back when Tendo's foot comes down on him.(00:17:55)
Continuity mistake: When the chase at the ending of the episode begins, Shampoo smashes her chui on top of the wall in front of the room with the panoramic view of the pond (the one we see always featured). She does a little bit of damage to it, a bit more of a beach-ball size chunk turned into dust. At the end of the episode Soun Tendo is staring at the garden and that section of the wall has a huge crack, destroyed for at least half its height.(00:18:50)
Other mistake: The episode opens with Ranma eating an ice cream with Akane. He (in female form) acts as he never had one before and Akane says "Don't tell me you've never had ice cream before!", and that's the case, apparently. But, episode 11 opened exactly with Ranma charming a shop owner into handing "her" a cone, commenting that "when it comes to eating out, being a girl is the only way to go."(00:02:00)
Other mistake: Not getting too deep into the obvious absurdity of the gag (I don't think a prospect husband would be too impressed if you serve him a pig complete with everything, obviously poorly cooked and don't even take off the bandanna/collar it is wearing!), it has to be noted that the bandanna Ryoga is wearing is covered with hibiscus sauce in the first shot, but clean in the following.(00:08:45)
Revealing mistake: Ranma catches Shampoo, who drops the bottle she was holding. Ranma picks it up and it turns out it is a fake one, with a #666 label. When the bottle was falling off her hand, the label was #119.(00:10:50)
Other mistake: Ranma chased by Shampoo at the end of the episode jumps down from the roof. He leaps at a distance from the wall, and he is supposedly in a rush to escape the pursuit, but Nabiki is able to pour from the kettle on his head when he is close to the wall and not in a rush to move away from that spot.(00:19:20)
Continuity mistake: Laing is sleeping in the buff on the balcony. Overhead shot and he has his hands on his loins, view from inside the apartment and his hands are off his legs (and not really in the position of someone sleeping). New shot and they are somewhere in between, with the left hand at the side of his body, but turned horizontal, so more leaning than gripping as it was earlier.(00:04:50)
