The Campground 'Bizarre' Case - S1-E17

Continuity mistake: When Kindaichi tries to escape and Miyuki stops him in his tracks exposing the reason why he's leaving, the cup in front of her is positioned with the handle facing right. When we see the cup again, it faces the opposite direction. (00:21:20)

Murder at 10,000 Meters File 2 - S1-E16

Continuity mistake: Throughout the episode, number and position of the airplane windows vary. You don't have to freeze-frame and count them; a cursory look at the door at the center of the plane is enough. The way the windows by it are grouped together changes in number and the door is sometimes at the end of the line, sometimes in the middle of it.

Murder at 10,000 Meters File 1 - S1-E15

Other mistake: On the plane, Akechi is reading, according to the dialogue, an "English newspaper." The newspaper is called "Global Times", but it's not supposed to be the real life one, which is a Chinese newspaper (albeit with an english edition); the logo is different. However, for being a Western-style newspaper (which is what Kindaichi calls Akechi out for), its front page is positioned wrong, like a Japanese newspaper.

The Prison Prep School Murder Case File 3 - S1-E12

Plot hole: Kujiragi's textbook is missing. It's a plot point and it's something the culprit did to plant an evidence using a page from it. However, when the case is solved, this point is glossed over; only a page from the book was needed, which the culprit could have ripped away at any moment without stealing the book, and more importantly, when Kindaichi finds the book, there was no window of opportunity for the killer to put it back; Kindaichi and Kujiragi were right there in the corridor the whole time. The live version adaptation fixes this hole because the character finds his book only the day after, in class.
