Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 3 - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: Kindaichi is looking at the pictures he laid out on the train's floor. When we see the wide shot with all the pictures, they don't match any of the closer angle. (00:03:40)
Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 3 - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: Kindaichi's head peeks from the corner of the window at different levels when he spots the silly policeman getting stuck. (00:04:35)
Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 3 - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: Kindaichi uses his hands to free the policeman; his hands happen to be at different height in the reverse shot. (00:04:45)
Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 3 - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: When Hajime is looking at the photo of the crime scene, the outline of the body is correct when it comes to the arms position, but the torso is straight, when it was very much bent in the first episode. (00:08:55)
Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 3 - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: The policeman's bandages join at the bottom in the first shot when they are visible (when he's behind the Nagano inspector), but join in the middle in the other shots. (00:09:40)
Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 4 - S2-E4
Continuity mistake: When Itsuki retrieves the floppy disk and shows it to the other people in the room, in the first shot the fingertip is on the plastic edge, in the second it's by the metal shutter. The color is off, since a few parts that are plastic are colored like metal. (00:05:00)
Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 4 - S2-E4
Continuity mistake: In the denouement, Kindaichi hands the two pictures to the cameraman and Jinmochi. When he asks if he then changed on a whim, he's still holding the photo himself. (00:12:20)
Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 4 - S2-E4
Factual error: The bittersweet ending is powerful from a dramatic point of view, but also impossible, because law (in Japan, at least) explicitly forbids organs coming from suicide victims to go to their family members, to prevent behaviour exactly like the one displayed here.
Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case: File 1 - S2-E5
Other mistake: In the initial flashback, the name of the ship ("Mary Celeste") is misspelled, appearing on the stern, is "Mary Celese." (00:02:05)
Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case: File 1 - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: Kenmochi dumps two heavy bags on top of Kindaichi, then picks up two suitcases himself; a pink one in his right hand, a dark blue one in his left. When the second mate asks him the ticket, the two suitcases have swapped, and Kindaichi a moment later carries the heavy bags but also suitcases with the same colors as Kenmochi's, which he gave to the second mate...who is carrying a single suitcase, and grey. Later on, we see only those 2 bags and 2 colored suitcases, anything else vanished. (00:04:10)
Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case: File 1 - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: When Kindaichi throws the luggage at the second mate Mizusaki, the proportions of the bags wildly change between shots. (00:04:50)
Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case: File 1 - S2-E5
Other mistake: When the two horrible guys harass her, Miyuki and Kenmochi are both drinking wine. Miyuki is underage, and while certainly not technically and materially impossible for someone underage to drink wine even with a police officer present, in pretty much every episode when there's a party it is made clear both in dialogues and visually that underage characters are not having alcohol. They drew the wrong type of glass. (00:08:45)
Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case: File 1 - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: At the dismal dinner party, Miyuki wears her hair in front of her right shoulder, except in the shot when the ocean magazine photographer introduces himself, when all of a sudden her hair is all the way back, and then after the captain throws his glance at the crowd in POV. (00:09:35)
Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case: File 1 - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: Despite being drunk, the captain is pretty good with prestidigitation, since both the bottle of booze and the letter disappear during after he showed them in his speech. (00:11:50)
Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case: File 1 - S2-E5
Other mistake: Everyone present in the scene reacts to Kenmochi popping the police inspector badge out of his jacket pocket. That includes the female crewmember who is peeking from the corner behind Kenmochi and that can't see it at all. (00:18:00)
Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case: File 2 - S2-E6
Continuity mistake: The first minutes of the episode are a dream sequence and normal logic may not apply. However, when Miyuki disappears, her drink is still there in the first shot, gone from the table in the wide shot, it is there again in close-up. That seems like an ordinary mistake, it's not as if Kindaichi is noticing Miyuki's disappearance AND a ghost lemonade mysteriously blinking in and out of existence. (00:03:00)
Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case: File 2 - S2-E6
Character mistake: During Wakaouji's flashback, if he really picked the picture from his breast pocket the way it is depicted, then the picture he showed to the captain was upside down. Would be kinda hilarious, but I don't think that is what the animators were going for. (00:16:35)
Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case: File 2 - S2-E6
Continuity mistake: Kindaichi and Kenmochi run to find out why everyone is gathered on the deck. There is a very distinct shadow of the railing in the wide angle, but in the close-up of the suicide note and shoes there is barely any. (00:18:00)
Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case: File 3 - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: When Kindaichi finds the victim at sunset, he is in front of the other two people in the long shot, but behind the one on the left in the closer angle. (00:12:25)
Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case: File 3 - S2-E7
Other mistake: The most the characters do after diving to rescue the suicidal girl is Kenmochi taking off his shirt. Kindaichi keeps his clothes and shoes, and Mizusaki even has his tie fastened as if nothing happened. They all have plenty opportunities to change clothes as they have their full luggage, but they don't, and they are just fine drying out from one scene to the next.
