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).

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.

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.
