The Alchemy Murder Case File 2 - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: When Miyuki wakes up from the drug effect, the bottle on the floor originated a puddle of water that changes between shots. (00:18:45)
The Alchemy Murder Case File 2 - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: In the final murder of the episode, the smashed pieces of the vase change position on the floor between shots; easy to spot when you go by the floor tiles and the grid they form. (00:19:25)
The Alchemy Murder Case File 3 - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: Kindaichi and Miyuki visit the jittery former idol. She pours herself a drink of water from a bottle that changes shape between shots. (00:05:00)
The Alchemy Murder Case File 3 - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: Mikage is startled by someone knocking at the door. She then puts the knife back on the desk when she realises who is it. The knife and the towel she partially hides it in are in the middle of the desk, but when they tell her that she is a likely target, the items are on the edge of the table. (00:05:10)
The Alchemy Murder Case File 3 - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: When the paper cup falls to the floor, it spills water between two floor tiles or just on one depending on the shot. (00:05:15)
The Alchemy Murder Case File 3 - S1-E8
Revealing mistake: The setup of the story is the usual; characters forced to coop together at a secluded location, they can't contact the outside world and one of them is a killer. In this case, they are on an island and the only radio they had been on the boat that someone set on fire. However, when one of the suspects shows Kindaichi a photo from their smartphone, the screen shows that they have an active 3G connection. (00:08:00)
The Alchemy Murder Case File 3 - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: When the producer is reading in bed the script for Gold Rush, he holds the book with 3 fingers touching the letters, which turn to 4 fingers in close-up. (00:09:35)
The Alchemy Murder Case File 3 - S1-E8
Factual error: The Latin text on the supposedly old tome (which is written with a modern font) displays an alchemist diagram. It is a reproduction of a famous drawing meant to portray the Philosopher Stone in the Sylva Philosophorum, but whoever copied it does not know Latin, because certain words are misspelled ("Merceralia" instead of "Mercurialia", "Humides" instead of "Humidus"). (00:10:10)
The Alchemy Murder Case File 3 - S1-E8
Plot hole: The locked room mystery is original, but besides the fact that it requires melting part of a door on the spot and being able to repair it absolutely flawlessly so that nobody would notice any bump and discolouring and irregularity when they check the lock later investigating the murder, it also requires them to do it in total silence so the other guests don't notice, and part of the process shown involved cutting through it with a screwdriver and bashing it with a hammer - they show that and there's even a loud sound effect for it. (00:18:00)
The Alchemy Murder Case File 3 - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: When Kindaichi shatters the vase, its remnants and the flowers are positioned on a different spot of the floor between shots. (00:19:20)
The Alchemy Murder Case File 4 - S1-E9
Continuity mistake: In the flashback when we see the culprit holding the newspaper with the news about the suicide, their thumb is on the blue box, which is at the edge of the page. Then they fall on their knees crying, and there's suddenly an extra bit of newspaper to the right of the box and their hand is on that. (00:15:15)
The Alchemy Murder Case File 4 - S1-E9
Plot hole: The ending is funny, but it does not make sense, since as it was mentioned in the first episode, there was literally 1 ton of metal to remove, and it was in the shape of a door. Not only it would have needed 32 trips (as the nerd girl says in the first episode) from the secluded house to a large boat they somehow needed to have standing by and was undetected when the island was searched earlier, but they also needed to dismantle the door, since that's what the gold was turned into.
The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 1 - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: In the intro's last shot, the shadow on the puppet changes entirely from the rest of the scene. (00:00:40)
The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 1 - S1-E10
Character mistake: To show how hard the top students are working at the prep school, we see one of them writing; "I was at the course of a eight-week intensive." (00:04:50)
The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 1 - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: The blonde student leads Miyuki inside the dilapidated school and says hi to the other student that is checking out a billboard. In the close-up you can see that she's standing on the left side of the billboard. In the wider angle she is standing on the right side. (00:05:35)
The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 1 - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: Crazy-eyed Hitomi Kadou calls Kindaichi "dumb" out of the blue. Kindaichi is carrying his school bag over the right shoulder, but in the reaction shot his shoulder is clear. (00:06:05)
The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 1 - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: Kindaichi just discovered the murdered student. In the close-up of his hands clutching the crumpled paper, the spiked booklet and his closed fist are across two floor tiles. In the other shots, both were on the single last row of large tiles before the wall. (00:07:55)
The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 1 - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: During the interrogation scene there's a student with the same purple uniform Miyuki and Hitomi wear. She keeps switching sides, being next to the teachers or next to Hitomi, the latter being her wrong spot; the student next to Hitomi Kaidou is in other shots Yurika Enami, with her cream jacket. (00:09:00)
The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 1 - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: When detective Mizogishi begins his interrogation, the booklet inside the evidence bag is horizontal (longer side parallel to the longer side of the desk), then vertical (longer side perpendicular). (00:09:20)
