Continuity mistake: When at the diner's Gale answers "Well, I have written the definitive book about the Woodsboro murders", her arms are open; her hands were joined earlier. (00:28:30)

Stupidity: For Sarah's murder to work, a lot of coincidences and unpredictable, convenient behaviour from the victim have to happen; she has to Miss the security guard and not hear them, she has to seek shelter of all places right in the costume room full of effigies of the killer, where the killer himself happens to be posing, she has to be completely inefficient at calling help with her cell phone.

Continuity mistake: When fake-Gale mentions "your private self-loathing", an extra exits the frame to the left side. Over five seconds pass before the extra walks into another shot of the dialogue. And there she is again, but this time redoing her walk from the beginning, when Dewey embarrassed repeats "Little girl inside." (00:17:05)

Evil Spirit of the Diving Pool - S1-E18

Other mistake: In this episode, we learn that Kindaichi can't swim. However, the series is a continuation of the first one from 1997: in a few instances (the Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case, The Kidnapping of Reika Hayami Murder Case, with Reika appearing as a key character here) Kindaichi could swim just fine and in fact would bravely dive in the ocean to save someone and swim downstream in a mountain river when gravely injured, respectively.

Evil Spirit of the Diving Pool - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: When Miyuki says that Honosuke the owl is cute, all we see in her glass is an ice cube. Moments later, her glass is filled with orange juice, the ice cubes being well below the juice level. (00:02:15)

Magical Express Murder Case: File 3 - S2-E12

Audio problem: When Kindaichi understands the trick and runs away from the murder room, Miyuki as usual exclaims "Hajime-chan!" but with a curious flub in animation, her tongue moves but not her lips. Try to say "Hajime-chan" keeping your mouth open all the time, it's fun. (00:18:45)

Magical Express Murder Case: File 3 - S2-E12

Character mistake: In Akechi's flashback, the board with the flight for Los Angeles has accurate names of airline companies (they seem to have swapped "Virgin" with "Kristen", for some reason) but the flights for Seoul is from "KSREAN" Air, clear misspelling of "Korean." (00:14:15)

Magical Express Murder Case: File 3 - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: The writing on her chest disappears from Miyuki's top when Kindaichi shuts the train compartment door, and is back in the rest of the scene save for the shot when he reopens it, which has the same angle. The writing ("PoPo") is sometimes practically at the neckline, other times a few inches below. (00:09:20)

Magical Express Murder Case: File 3 - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: In the flashback of the murder from 5 years prior, the splashes on set change shape entirely between shots. (00:05:10)

Magical Express Murder Case: File 2 - S2-E11

Stupidity: Kindaichi's logic as usual proves to be right, however, the theater is surrounded by a pond, not the ocean. The investigation proceeds assuming that the killer who performed a meticulously premeditated murder with great knowledge of technology and conjuring, could never go past a bit of water. Likewise, they say "nobody left their seats since the lights go off", as a certainty, but watching the scene and how it unfolds, it's simply an assumption the plot needs.

Magical Express Murder Case: File 2 - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: In the final part of the Living Marionette act, the bicycle and the ball are on stage, or not, randomly in different shots. (00:11:00)

Sammo ★

Magical Express Murder Case: File 2 - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: The Living Marionette act starts with the puppet on a chair that is a few inches in front of the back curtain. In the wider angle though, the chair is much closer to the center of the stage. (00:10:20)

Magical Express Murder Case: File 2 - S2-E11

Stupidity: Kindaichi and the others are called up by Satomi, who is one of the performers, so they can be in attendance for the show. They don't get changed, but somehow they are so late for the show that they are the last people to arrive, and the show is already ongoing and displaying the most famous act. If Satomi warned them late, makes no sense that he wouldn't be in the theater to begin with.

Magical Express Murder Case: File 2 - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: External shot of the "Station Hotel"; there's the sign with glowing letters, and then a smaller one above the front door. The two words are written on separate lines, but the establishing shot of the hotel at the end of the previous episode showed "Station Hotel" written on a single line. (00:03:10)

Sammo ★

Magical Express Murder Case: File 2 - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: Kindaichi is sitting on the bed while Kenmochi gives the estimated time of death. He's wearing just his shirt, pink, but a couple of shots later he is sitting wearing his black jacket too. (00:02:40)

Magical Express Murder Case: File 1 - S2-E10

Other mistake: Flower petals continue raining down before and after Akechi picks up the rose from the ground, but never during his action. (00:16:10)

Sammo ★

Magical Express Murder Case: File 1 - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: The salad explodes and everyone is pretty rattled by this baffling predicament. Kindaichi is holding the phone with his index fingers outstretched; in the immediate close-up, he's clutching it with all fingers, and in the one next all of a sudden it's against his ear while the bomber is talking continuously. (00:12:20)

Magical Express Murder Case: File 1 - S2-E10

Character mistake: When the boss of the magical troupe greets the passengers, the clock behind him shows it's 9:40. Noble later complains that he's gone for over an hour, but when he performs the stripping trick on Miyuki, the clock shows it's a couple minutes past 10, so not even half an hour passed. (00:07:40)

Sammo ★

Magical Express Murder Case: File 1 - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: When Noble asks Miyuki to be his assistant, there is a person with yellow clothes behind her. Their arm is down, straight. In the next shot, the person doesn't move, but when Miyuki changes position she reveals behind her the arm of the person, now bent. (00:09:30)

Magical Express Murder Case: File 1 - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: The gang is greeted by Satomi and the puppet. When they leave in an overhead shot, Kenmochi's "rose salad" disappears, only to reappear in the rest of the scene. (00:07:00)
