Mobile Suit Gundam

Cucuruz Doan's Island - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: After the dramatic fight-winning punch, Doan's Mobile Suit is dripping water in a close-up. The characteristic tubes on the head of the mecha are undamaged, but Doan broke one earlier in the fight, and it's broken again in the epilogue. (00:21:00)

Time, Be Still - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: The Zaku hits the Medea in the empty cargo container drilling two sizeable holes, but when the aircraft flies past it there are no bullet holes in sight anymore. (00:10:00)

Sammo

Coming Home - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When the Zeon soldier enters the refugee camp structure, looks around and starts questioning the kid, the people in the background change from shot to shot. (00:13:50)

Sammo

Coming Home - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: Amuro looking from the window sees 4 drunk soldiers in his living room. Two of them tumble on the ground, where items like a helmet, a plate and empty liquor bottles lay around. One of the soldiers even has a bottle in his left hand he is still drinking from after the fall. When he enters the room and turns the radio off, all those items have disappeared. (00:04:20)

Coming Home - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: Sayla and Mirai are chillin' on the beach, sunbathing. They even comment on the sun and how light comes from just one direction as opposed to what they are used to in space and the colonies. Kai with his boombox passes them by asking about Amuro, and suddenly they both (Mirai in particular, under the parasol) have big shadows over them. (00:02:45)

The Threat of Zeon - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: Bright is sitting in his quarters, exhausted. Mirai enters his room, and he zips his uniform up; it is specifically shown that the zipper goes past the undershirt. When Sayla sends the alert from the bridge, Bright jumps up and answers with the tank top showing. (00:07:00)

Sammo

The Threat of Zeon - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: Amuro gets up from the floor when he's been working on the Gundam backup computer. Going by the floor boards, the manual and the trays with the tools have moved around between shots. (00:05:45)

Sammo

Icelina- Love's Remains - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: Sayla hands Bright the dispatch from the Federation. Bright takes it with his left hand, turns around and walks away still with the message in the same hand - but at the cut, it's in his right hand. (00:10:30)

Sammo

Garma's Fate - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Char is about to get inside his Zaku, Garma talks to him. Char's right arm is lowered when Garma is in frame, but his hand is on the hatch in the previous and following shot. (00:13:20)

Sammo

Garma's Fate - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: The civilians still inside White Base are restless as the ship hides in the dome. One of them sitting on the floor is wearing a sand colored suit, that turns dark brown when Fraw Bow calls everyone's attention. (00:09:10)

Sammo

Garma's Fate - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: At the party, Garma is holding a normal glass when he talks to the two sycophants with horrible fashion taste, but when he looks towards Char approaching the bar, his glass suddenly acquires a dimpled surface. (00:03:00)

Sammo

Fly! Gundam - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Amuro sees the elder pick up something from the tray of the kid next to him. When the elder leaves, the piece of food he stole earlier is still there on the kid's tray. (00:06:40)

Sammo

Fly! Gundam - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Bright takes the decoded message from Sayla's hand and hands it over with his right hand. When Lt. Reed is in view, we see Bright used his left arm instead. (00:04:50)

Sammo

Winds of War - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: White Base collides with a mountain peak, sending Amuro and Fraw Bow flying. The cargo they were wheeling crashes against the wall. Haro from the top of pile bounces down on a component horizontal on the floor. Another element is leaning against this horizontal block, and the total height is greater than Haro's circumference. But in the reverse shot that diagonal piece is suddenly much smaller and barely reaches half of Haro's height. (00:03:00)

Sammo

Destroy Gundam! - S1-E2

Plot hole: Char is able to escape from Side 7 simply flipping a couple grenades he had on his person (shaped like the old style pineapple grenades) who tear huge holes into metal walls with a visible thickness in excess of a meter, including the outer wall of the space colony a salvo of Mega Particle Cannon from the battleship didn't break. If Zeon has such explosives at their disposal, then maybe they should not fight with battleships and giant robots, but simply have footsoldiers toss tiny grenades at the enemy. (00:15:00)
