Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 1 - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: Kindaichi's teacher has a book rolled in his hand in a pattern that changes between shots. (00:02:25)
Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 1 - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: When Miyuki waves at Kindaichi, her hair is in front of the left shoulder, behind the shoulder in the rest of the scene. (00:02:50)
Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 1 - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: The close-up of the hot beverage cup doesn't match Itsuki's nor Miyuki's, since the complementary glass of water is on the wrong side. (00:03:40)
Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 1 - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: Kindaichi and Miyuki are having breakfast since he already cracked the code but does not want to reveal the solution yet. A few seconds later there's a shot of the table from above the shoulder; not only the stuff on Kindaichi's tray changed and the yogurt moved to the right, but Miyuki was sitting across him and now she's on his right. (00:09:45)
Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 1 - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: When Kindaichi leaves the table to go get a new cup of coffee, his strawberry yogurt has been opened and eaten with a spoon, but it was untouched just a few seconds before. (00:10:35)
Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 1 - S2-E1
Revealing mistake: There's a frame of animation obviously missing when the cameraman moves past the rest of the crowd that gathers after the maid's scream. He basically teleports past Miyuki while his hand is still in the same position it had when he had the hand on her shoulder. (00:14:40)
Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 1 - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: When Takanori the cameraman says "He's dead", everyone in the reaction shot is much closer together (and to Itsuki) than in the earlier angle. (00:14:45)
Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 1 - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: Reviewing Saki's footage of the evening of the murder, the part that shows Natsume is taken from an angle much closer than what it should be; Saki was sitting at the other end of the couch, not directly to her left. (00:17:00)
Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 1 - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: When Aoi repeats the question to the old servant, she has her hand on the lady's shoulder in the first shot, suddenly not in the second. (00:17:55)
Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 1 - S2-E1
Other mistake: Miyuki notices the pager beeping and finds out that Kindaichi gave it to her without her noticing. In fact when he said goodbye to her, the keen-eyed viewer can actually spot him slipping her the device. There are a couple of slight problems with that; first, she retrieves it, not in frame, from her left side, but Kindaichi put it on the right side of her person. Second; she is wearing a white skirt with no pockets. (00:20:15)
Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 1 - S2-E1
Other mistake: Kindaichi escapes handcuffing the detective to the toilet's chain. Try to think of the last time you went to a restroom and the chain was SO long that you could yank it across the whole room (not stall, room) and outside the door. Going behind the sink's drain, even. Never seen a toilet like this in my life (and in that kind of bathroom, you have usually buttons or pedals, anyway). (00:21:00)
Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 1 - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: Across the 4 parts of the episode, both Kindaichi's yellow shirt and Miyuki's orange top are tie-fronts; the way they are drawn though keeps changing, and multiple times (would be redundant to enumerate them) they leave a large opening below the tie in one shot, and are completely closed in the next.
Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 2 - S2-E2
Continuity mistake: When Kindaichi pages Miyuki, she clicks the button on top to answer, but in the next shot she's holding the device in a different way. (00:04:15)
Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 2 - S2-E2
Continuity mistake: When Omura gets home, the telephone rings. The telephone is on the cupboard, close to the wall, well away from the edge. Close-up of the ringing phone, and it's so close to the edge that the receiver's cord is dangling. (00:06:40)
Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 2 - S2-E2
Other mistake: Tokitou trips after charging at Kindaichi and missing him. Somehow though, Kindaichi is still way ahead of him and picks comfortably the lead pipe that rolled forward. (00:11:30)
Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 2 - S2-E2
Continuity mistake: The same couple (she has a green coat and a pink shirt, he is wearing black and yellow) is simultaneously on both sides of the street when Kindaichi is hiding from the police after Tokitou's murder. (00:13:00)
Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 2 - S2-E2
Continuity mistake: The space between the steps of the metal staircase Kindaichi is (amazingly well) hiding changes between shots. In fact when the beeper beeps, the whole back of Kindaichi appears to be leaning on solid steel. (00:20:20)
Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 2 - S2-E2
Continuity mistake: Katsura gets stabbed in front of Kindaichi; Kindaichi's tie is missing part of the string as he calls Katsura's name the first time. (00:21:15)
Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 2 - S2-E2
Continuity mistake: Miyuki is at the window when she mulls over Hajime-chan's message from the previous episode. By the time Itsuki begs on his knees, she's close to the carpet at the center of the room, and she never moved.
Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 2 - S2-E2
Other mistake: Kindaichi is on the run from the police. He rolled in dirt with his only shirt and jeans, and he had multiple dirt stains when he was on the phone with Miyuki in Nagano, but at the end of his clandestine trip in the back of a truck, he shows up in Tokyo perfectly clean.
