The Campground 'Bizarre' Case - S1-E17

Deliberate mistake: The evidence that proves Kindaichi's alibi is the store receipt detailing the time of his purchase. Notice that the year is recorded too, but it reads "20XY." (00:12:40)

The Campground 'Bizarre' Case - S1-E17

Continuity mistake: When Miyuki discovers the larceny perpetrated at her expense, proportion and position of the folded clothes change between shots. (00:10:45)

Murder at 10,000 Meters File 2 - S1-E16

Continuity mistake: Throughout the episode, number and position of the airplane windows vary. You don't have to freeze-frame and count them; a cursory look at the door at the center of the plane is enough. The way the windows by it are grouped together changes in number and the door is sometimes at the end of the line, sometimes in the middle of it.

Murder at 10,000 Meters File 1 - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: The captain's cap is on a different spot on top of the control panel when the investigators first see his body.

Murder at 10,000 Meters File 1 - S1-E15

Other mistake: In several instances throughout the episodes, the seats in the corridors appear empty even if the plane is supposed to be at full capacity.

Murder at 10,000 Meters File 1 - S1-E15

Other mistake: On the plane, Akechi is reading, according to the dialogue, an "English newspaper." The newspaper is called "Global Times", but it's not supposed to be the real life one, which is a Chinese newspaper (albeit with an english edition); the logo is different. However, for being a Western-style newspaper (which is what Kindaichi calls Akechi out for), its front page is positioned wrong, like a Japanese newspaper.

Continuity mistake: Julia is apparently being helpful towards the stranger at the door. She is taking notes as he says his name and auto club card number. She is casting a visible shadow on the door, entirely gone in the close-up of the door itself. (00:08:15)

Voice - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: During the scene in the break room, the poster with the beer shows a mug with a really tiny handle that touches the clouds at the horizon in some shot, and does not in others. (00:14:15)

Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case: File 2 - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: The first minutes of the episode are a dream sequence and normal logic may not apply. However, when Miyuki disappears, her drink is still there in the first shot, gone from the table in the wide shot, it is there again in close-up. That seems like an ordinary mistake, it's not as if Kindaichi is noticing Miyuki's disappearance AND a ghost lemonade mysteriously blinking in and out of existence. (00:03:00)

Other mistake: Ponty follows the instructions of the titular book, which follows the logical progression through the corporate ladder. However, when he becomes VP of advertising, he is reading from the very first pages.

Continuity mistake: During the crescendo and ending of "Gotta stop that man", the towel rests on Finch's upper arm and shoulder differently in different shots.

Shinryakusha o ute - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: At the security council meeting, Muramatsu's red pencil is along the notes' side in the wide shot, on the page itself in the closer angle. (00:10:20)

Shinryakusha o ute - S1-E3

Revealing mistake: When the monster is revealed behind a column as the troops enter the building and it splits in two mirror images, they did not stop the clock in the background, which reveals whenever they stopped filming to change things in frame.

Sammo ★

Shinryakusha o ute - S1-E3

Other mistake: At the beginning of the episode it is said that the events take place 38 hours apart. It's 2:25 PM. We see then Arashi get up in the middle of the night, so it could easily be midnight...but then he reaches the station and it's daylight, and the kid is in his car, even. Moreover, when the troops enter, a clock inside the building points 2:10.

Shinryakusha o ute - S1-E3

Revealing mistake: The victims of the stasis ray in the episode try to hold still as much as possible...with varying° of success.

Sammo ★

Shinryakusha o ute - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: The shadows on Arashi's chest when the alarm buzzes change at the cut. (00:07:05)

Sammo ★

Shinryakusha o ute - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Arashi pulls over in the street where the research station is. The car stops a few meters after the turn, but when it's shown again, it's much further into the street. (00:06:15 - 00:06:50)

Sammo ★

Shinryakusha o ute - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Arashi steps away from his slippers, those are positioned on the floor in a different way at the cut. (00:05:10)

Shinryakusha o ute - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Ide jumps out of bed and quickly puts his boots on, but the boots are in a different position on the floor than before. (00:03:15)

Sammo ★

Shinryakusha o ute - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Ide can't sleep due to the thunderous snoring in the room. He grabs the blanket; the position of the blanket under his arms changes as the shot changes. (00:03:10)
