Saint Seiya (1986)

7 character mistakes in season 1 - chronological order

Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1

Character mistake: Not to dispute physics in an anime about people drawing arcane cosmic powers from constellations, but when Marin explains to Seiya what happens when you shatter a rock into smaller pebbles, she says that you "destroy its atoms." That's not how physics works and luckily for her, Seiya and everyone else in Greece at the time, she did not create a nuclear fission in the palm of her hand just to prove her point.

Doragon! Muteki no ken to tate - S1-E4

Character mistake: Shun says explicitly that a Saint's body is no different from any ordinary human's. That's quite funny, considering that in the previous episode Hyoga fought creating temperatures of -100 °C (consistently, to defend himself, and aggressively to freeze Ichi), which would have messed up really badly both contestants.

Shito! Kyofu no kokushiken - S1-E11

Audio problem: Hyoga butts in with "What did you say you just saw, Ikki?", but Ikki was THINKING that phrase about seeing the battle, not saying it out loud - unless he was practicing ventriloquism without an audience. (00:21:50)

Kiseki no fukkatsu! Yuyo no cosmo - S1-E5

Trivia: When Seiya falls down during the victory celebration and the three kids scream (the shot that comes before the one where Miho drops the picture) you can see briefly in the audience between the kids an easter egg appearance of Magical Princess Minky Momo, a character from a different anime.
