Garma Strikes - S1-E6

Other mistake: When Amuro exits the Gundam cockpit after successfully repelling Garma's forces, his hair is colored jet black instead of brown (nothing else in the scene changes color and it is a fairly mundane transition, so it's not a matter of light). (00:19:50)

Gundam Rising - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Amuro stopped the car in front of the location where the two Federation officers die in the explosion, at a certain distance. When he is shown reading the manual with everyone running away from the shelter, the damaged car got closer and it is almost inside the hangar. (00:11:00 - 00:13:00)

Sammo

Gundam Rising - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Amuro climbs on the Gundam that is lying down and gets where the tarp covering the cockpit is. The manual is face down in the first shot, but is face up and rotated differently in the next shot, when he unveils it. (00:16:30)

Destroy Gundam! - S1-E2

Plot hole: Char is able to escape from Side 7 simply flipping a couple grenades he had on his person (shaped like the old style pineapple grenades) who tear huge holes into metal walls with a visible thickness in excess of a meter, including the outer wall of the space colony a salvo of Mega Particle Cannon from the battleship didn't break. If Zeon has such explosives at their disposal, then maybe they should not fight with battleships and giant robots, but simply have footsoldiers toss tiny grenades at the enemy. (00:15:00)

Escape from Luna II - S1-E4

Other mistake: Bright realises that the door is unlocked as he pounds on it. The sliding door opens just a little, and the power is off, so it is implied and shown initially that they can be moved by hand. However when they go out of the room and when they go free Sayla and the others, it looks like the door are opening by themselves, not slid open by hand. (00:12:30)

Vote to Attack - S1-E3

Other mistake: During the loading operation of the Zakus, the catapult is broken, and one of Gadem's subordinates dies in his arms. The guy has been hit by a salvo of bullets from the Core Fighter, thick enough to make holes in the ship hull, but no hole whatsoever in his spacesuit, visible entirely. (00:17:15)

Sammo

Vote to Attack - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Char is talking with his superior about the lackluster reinforcements. In the first shot the console gauges behind his commander are lit of a bright yellow; when we get a closer view of the man, the console has a duller light and the part on the right is arranged differently. (00:04:15)

Sammo

Destroy Gundam! - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Amuro returns from his mission and enters the bridge of White Base, Sayla at her station has a man with a broken arm next to her. When she was seen earlier manning the engineer station, the officer next to her had just a bandaged head; the one with the broken arm was the one instructing Hayato about the missile controls. (00:16:50 - 00:21:45)

Sammo

Escape from Luna II - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Amuro is explaining to his cellmates the key of the Gundam's combat abilities. He is sitting on the floor with Kai, but as the angle changes, the back of the sofa in the background is at an height that would make sense only if they were sitting on a chair. (00:10:40)

Sammo

Escape from Luna II - S1-E4

Plot hole: White Base and the interior of Luna II withstand without a scratch the explosion of the thermonuclear reactor from the Magellan from just a few meters, while the blast literally vaporizes the Zaku far away from the entrance and threatens to damage the Musai, hundreds of meters away.

Sammo

Gundam Rising - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Seeing the rocket fired by the Zeon, Amuro gets on the ground. In his reaction shot to the horror of the hangar with two men entirely scorched by the explosion, he has debris on his arms, that were clean in the shot before. (00:11:30)

Sammo

Gundam Rising - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The cover of the Gundam instruction manual on the ground changes from just blank white with a little horizontal line, to the logo with two of those lines and without the superscribed dot, to the full logo. It also rests on a ground differently littered with debris from the explosion. (00:11:50)

Sammo

Re-Entry to Earth - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Char has just received the new Zakus. There is a scene when he instructs his 3 commandos for the atmospheric re-entry assault; their helmets have a large purple band only in the front view. (00:05:30)

Sammo

Escape from Luna II - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Bright turns towards Captain Paolo Cassius to tell him about the success of their operation, his three-way front tuft of hair is curled one way, the opposite way in the close-up. (00:21:20)

Sammo

Vote to Attack - S1-E3

Other mistake: Amuro's strategy relies on attacking the enemy having the sun behind himself, but when Ryu sees the Musai for the first time it is clear that the sun is behind Char's ship. (00:10:20)

Sammo

Gundam Rising - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Fraw Bow cries on her mother's corpse that is on the ground face down. Amuro walks to her to console her (and to bitch slap her) and the woman is lying face up all of a sudden. (00:15:25)
