Blood Pool Hall Murder Case File 1 - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: When Miyuki points out that the atmosphere at the other table is rather gloomy, Amamoto has her chopsticks raised in one shot, absent from view in the next. (00:14:00)

Continuity mistake: When Miyuki points out that the atmosphere at the other table is rather gloomy, Amamoto has her chopsticks raised in one shot, absent from view in the next. (00:14:00)
14th May 2022
Continuity mistake: In the intro of the game, Archie Wister talks to a young prison officer. The radio on the breast pocket of the officer changes size and details between shots, together with other details of the uniform like a nametag.

Character mistake: One of King's winquotes says "I'm am woman, hear me roar."

The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 4 - S2-E4
Stupidity: The whole gimmick of this story is fun but it's pure anime nonsense; we have a 28 years guy who has spent 18 years of his life in complete darkness and malnourished. The effect of this (a stunted growth) is somewhat plausible in general, but in here he still has the appearance of the cute 10-years-old kid who was locked in the dungeon, he's athletic and a charming, fluent speaker. I don't think it's much-needed to elaborate on how that is laughable (although to be fair at least they mention that he'd light a lamp two hours a day to read and was 'exercising', which since all he ate was rats and had no sunlight at all, wouldn't quite have done him a lot of good).

The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 3 - S2-E3
Other mistake: Kindaichi in this episode watches the footage of the events in the previous episode from Saki's handicam. Saki was running with the camera and the camera was jerking up and down a whole lot in those animations, but here the motion is very subtle. Li also was standing facing straight away from the door, parallel to it, but here he's more turned to the left.
14th May 2022
Character mistake: In the cutscene before the fight against Saisyu, Rugal addresses King from the Women's team as such "Your mine, Kingy. Kiss, kiss." Besides the total cringe of an obviously made-up 'translation', this Rugal really has some problems with basic grammar.

The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 3 - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: The pile of bread that Longtao brings for breakfast changes between shots. (00:11:10)
14th May 2022
The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 3 - S2-E3
Plot hole: The crowd freaks out when Matsuoka's body is found and Kindaichi happens to be standing in front of it, gun in hand. That's all sorts of silly though, not only because the killer could have never predicted that turn of events, but also because Kindaichi roamed the streets looking for Matsuoka, gun in hand the whole time (it's a different gun from the one Matsuoka is killed with), and it's a girl screaming that draws everyone's attention to the murder. What about the two gunshots? Everyone in the background was entirely unfazed. It also creates a separate issue in the ending, since the plan to frame Kindaichi was supposed to be 'perfect' but the different gun would have spoiled it. (00:08:35)
13th May 2022
Continuity mistake: In the post-credit photo montage, Heidern (without his uniform) wears the eyepatch on the right eye, but his various character portraits in the selection screen, victory screen and ending show him with the eyepatch on the left eye. (in later instalments of the series he is predominantly shown with the right eye missing, actually).
13th May 2022
Character mistake: In the first Rugal cutscene for the Ikari Warriors team, Rugal fails at basic grammar when he says "It seems that ARE friends need to be dealt with."
13th May 2022
Continuity mistake: When Naoto and Ruriko are on the park bench, and he tries to make up some story about where did he spend the past decade, Natsuna's scarf is folded in a different way in the different main angles of the conversation. (01:03:20)
13th May 2022
Continuity mistake: When Naoto witnesses White Tiger putting Yellow Tiger against the ropes, his left hand is on the third bar of the door. Cut to White Tiger gloating, and Naoto is gripping the second bar. Similarly, when later Jo finishes Dan off breaking his leg, sometimes between Naoto's hands there are 4 bars or 5 even if his hands move always up and down the same bars. (00:46:25)

Revealing mistake: During Black Mask's fight against Salamander, he dodges the enemy's fire and then sweeps him off his feet. But Salamander's fall is blocked in midair by obvious wirework to give Tiger a chance to punch him in midair. (00:32:00)
13th May 2022
Revealing mistake: When the kids are fighting and one of them puts the other in a Boston Crab hold, a third kid, the main character, breaks up the fight by, well, embarrassing to say, poking the assailant in the butthole with two fingers. Jo rolls away and keeps screaming indicating that he got hurt not just in his pride, but you could easily see that no such action was actually perpetrated. (00:19:15)
13th May 2022
Revealing mistake: The female head trainer of the Tiger's Den puts a blindfold on and with a kick KOs the trainee that was sparring with the children. In the close-up of the kick you can see it is miles away from connecting. (00:17:05)
13th May 2022
Continuity mistake: After the Abebo murders, tempers run high at the meeting of the clan. The sinister Sakoda accuses the one raising objections to be a wimp, and the guy slams his fists on the table. The president of the meeting says "stop it"; Sonny Chiba is leaning forward with both hands, but in the next shot he has one hand in front and one in the back. (00:20:00)
13th May 2022
The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 2 - S2-E2
Plot hole: It's unreasonable, nor is explained in the denouement at the end of this arc, how did the murderer, who stayed behind everyone else on purpose, get to Shinomiya who was ahead of everyone, went inside the cave before everyone else and didn't have a reason to hide, cooperate with him or anything of the sort.
13th May 2022
The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 2 - S2-E2
Other mistake: When Kindaichi rushes to Longtao's rescue, he is not carrying the flashlight with him. He's in a deep cave bunker with no light at all (plot point mere moments earlier), he should be blind as a bat. In the following episode he even searches for clues in the cave, again without the light.
13th May 2022
The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 2 - S2-E2
Other mistake: The two survivors from 18 years prior approach the building with nothing on their person, then suddenly Matsuoka has a flashlight, which he gives to Shinomiya as he goes inside alone. Kindaichi and Longtao arrive, completely unprepared to any dungeon crawling, and the three of them go in with yet another flashlight. (00:13:50)
13th May 2022
The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 2 - S2-E2
Continuity mistake: Kindaichi searches Akechi's wallet with his right hand, using the left hand to hold the wallet itself, but hands Longtao the taxi receipt using the left hand. (00:13:05)
