GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka picture

First, I'm a teacher - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Onizuka is on his bike with Mizuki after she utterly murdered the sushi plate. He is still reminiscing about the sweet prime cut tuna while he is at the traffic lights. Several people cross the street; there is a family with a little kid, and a guy in a denim jacket. In the wide shot it's clear that the family is to the guy's left, but in the tighter angle the guy passes them by on the opposite side. (00:34:00)

I Worship His Shadow - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: His Shadow's ship, The Fore Shadow, begins to blast the Brunnen-G planet and the shots hit the surface causing massive instant damage seen and heard from space. Each hit charring the ground. When the camera cuts back to the planet a few shots later as the ship continues to fire, the destroyed areas of the planet from before have all moved around, with the giant char marks being inconsistent in where they landed. (00:02:25 - 00:03:10)

Andromeda picture

Forced Perspective - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: Rev Bem returns for this episode, however the costume department seems to have forgotten all the changes his character went through a couple seasons ago. His face is distinctly more Magog than it should be, and his hands have reverted back into clawed fingers.
