Chûgoku kara kita aitsu! Chotto hen!! - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: At the very beginning, Ranma is in an alley with his/her panda dad. She tosses aside the backpack, and they begin to fight. The fight brings them to the main street. After knocking out her dad, Ranma simply reaches on the ground and grabs the backpack she took off several meters away in a completely different street. (00:02:05 - 00:03:00)

Sammo

Chûgoku kara kita aitsu! Chotto hen!! - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Panda Genma KOs Ranma with the street sign, the guy with the green sweater in the background is behind the blue shirted guy in the close-up, but in front of him in the wider shot. The girl next to him has her hand raised in the first, and it's down in the second. (00:03:10)

Sammo

Asobi ja nainoyo gakkou wa - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Kuko freaks out in class hearing that Akana is Ranma's fiancée. The clock in class points at 8:05, an impossible time (school begins at 8:30) and dissonant with the time shown by the clocktower in the shot of the rain stopping (which pointed at minute 45). (00:19:10)

Sammo

Ikinari ai no arashi chotto matteyo - S1-E3

Other mistake: Kasumi is untrained and does not possess any particular physical strength, but when Ranma jumpscares her, her bucket of water is flung in the air up so high that it takes several seconds to descend (this part of the scene does not have comical hyberbole overtones). (00:14:50)

Sammo

Ikinari ai no arashi chotto matteyo - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Ranma stops by the sumo dude Akane just smashed, and ponders about the craziness of the morning ritual. What follows is a wide shot of the schoolyard with a trail of bodies left behind by Akane distancing her from Ranma, one of the latest being the sumo guy Ranma just stopped by. (00:16:50)

Sammo

Ranma to Ranma? Gokai ga tomaranai - S1-E4

Other mistake: Nabiki pours a bucket of cold water and then a teapot of hot water over Ranma as he sleeps, but he does not wake up. Some heavy sleeper. Also, all of this somehow leaves just a warm patch under her groin area, leading to the obvious misunderstanding. But her pillow and other half of the futon should be drenched too. (00:09:05)

Sammo

Ranma Saotome: This is it! At last, my real body.
