Coming Home - S1-E13
Plot hole: Amuro flies the Core Fighter to the refugee camp. Taking a plane to get just across a hill is already kinda a headshaker, especially with White Base being short on resources, including fuel that is an issue in this very episode.Anyway, he lands it in the middle of the camp, and the people there tell him to please hide it. Later in the episode, we see that Amuro indeed hid it, in the middle of some woods, covering it perfectly in branches and other things. How in the world did he get the fighter there and on his own did all the camouflage work on the huge thing, is a prodigy of off-camera work.
Coming Home - S1-E13
Plot hole: The logistics of the episode don't really make sense; Amuro's home village is held by (literally) a handful of Earth soldiers cut from their main force and that spend their time getting drunk and acting as occupation force, but Zeon has a full base (again, literally, almost) next door that sends reconnaissance troops and even aircraft to check for any activity at the refugee camp. There's no reason why the undisciplined and free soldiers would stay in such a dangerous position where they could be wiped out by overwhelming forces anytime, nor why Zeon would keep a pocket of the enemy forces that they can crush with ridiculous ease.
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)
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.
Cucuruz Doan's Island - S1-E15
Continuity mistake: After the dramatic fight-winning punch, Doan's Mobile Suit is dripping water in a close-up. The characteristic tubes on the head of the mecha are undamaged, but Doan broke one earlier in the fight, and it's broken again in the epilogue. (00:21:00)
Cucuruz Doan's Island - S1-E15
Continuity mistake: When Amuro does the emergency conversion inside White Base, he is then catapulted back into action. Next to him, the Guntank, that was not there earlier. (00:19:00)
Cucuruz Doan's Island - S1-E15
Other mistake: Amuro and Doan come out of the waterfall charging. Doan's Zaku shoulder-rams the opponent with the right shoulder, while probably he should have done it with the left one, spiked. Mistake, it happens. What should not happen is what ensues later; as the evil Zaku falls back, look at Doan's; the moment he starts running towards the downed opponent, the drawing is mirrored, and literally from one frame to the next he switches shoulder equipment (the shield moves from right to left). (00:18:10)
Cucuruz Doan's Island - S1-E15
Audio problem: In the faraway shot that follows the slap Rollan gives Amuro for accusing Doan, Amuro's lips move a second before his voice is actually heard. (00:14:00)
Cucuruz Doan's Island - S1-E15
Other mistake: When Amuro rescues the two pilots, he lies them down on the beach, side by side on what initially looks like a single tarp. Which can probably make sense, but when the first one dies, Amuro runs to the second, and now it seems that each had their own fancy beach towel to lie upon, which is doubtful being part of the standard Federation equipment. (00:05:50)
Character mistake: The whole episode begins with a wrong premise, that somehow is true anyway; the federation has just one Mobile Suit. That's not true, as it has also the Guntank and Guncannon, which engaged Zeon in the previous episode, and still they are not used in this episode, so the plan works as intended. Funny they'd have somehow intel so precise that they can run a commando raid targeting exactly the armor weak spots, but at the same time ignore the elementary facts about the enemy forces.
Other mistake: After the removal of the second bomb, the squad captain checks how much time is left till the explosion; 8 minutes, he says...as the minute hand turns and stops on 8, with an animation that does not make sense. (00:17:20)
Continuity mistake: The Zaku hits the Medea in the empty cargo container drilling two sizeable holes, but when the aircraft flies past it there are no bullet holes in sight anymore. (00:10:00)
Coming Home - S1-E13
Audio problem: The first refugee to greet Amuro has a male voice (original version, but also English dub), but when you look at the figure, it's kinda rounded in the chest and in the next shot when just the legs are in sight, just match the positions of those around Amuro and it's quite clear that 'he' is the one wearing a skirt. (00:10:00)
Coming Home - S1-E13
Other mistake: The car waiting for Kamaria at the end of the episode as Amuro and Bright salute her, is drawn with or without glass in the windows. (00:21:00)
Coming Home - S1-E13
Character mistake: Kamaria Ray thinks back of her son shooting at the Zeon troopers with a mental image that is wrong; Amuro was not shooting from the bed, but from the door. (00:15:20 - 00:19:20)
Coming Home - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: When the Zeon soldier enters the refugee camp structure, looks around and starts questioning the kid, the people in the background change from shot to shot. (00:13:50)
Coming Home - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: Amuro looking from the window sees 4 drunk soldiers in his living room. Two of them tumble on the ground, where items like a helmet, a plate and empty liquor bottles lay around. One of the soldiers even has a bottle in his left hand he is still drinking from after the fall. When he enters the room and turns the radio off, all those items have disappeared. (00:04:20)
Coming Home - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: Sayla and Mirai are chillin' on the beach, sunbathing. They even comment on the sun and how light comes from just one direction as opposed to what they are used to in space and the colonies. Kai with his boombox passes them by asking about Amuro, and suddenly they both (Mirai in particular, under the parasol) have big shadows over them. (00:02:45)
Other mistake: During the first phase of the battle with the Zeon forces, in particular in close-up when Amuro botches the landing from the catapult and drags the mobile suit belly down onto the rocks, the V shaped head ornament is entirely red, instead of being red in the middle section and white in the fins. (00:15:40)
Continuity mistake: Bright is sitting in his quarters, exhausted. Mirai enters his room, and he zips his uniform up; it is specifically shown that the zipper goes past the undershirt. When Sayla sends the alert from the bridge, Bright jumps up and answers with the tank top showing. (00:07:00)
