Moero! Pegasus Ryuseiken - S1-E2

Other mistake: In the ending shot of the tournament bracket showing the potential future opponents, the two saints' names are written the wrong way, as "DORAGON" and "ANDOROMEDA", instead of Dragon and Andromeda. (00:22:00)

Battle Scars - S1-E7

'Unmei no sentaku' mitaina - S1-E6

Plot hole: Akito's attack is point blank, on a ship part of a fleet with Distortion Field activated (basically, they have shields, like the good guys' robots). The explosion he causes is according to Ruri's damage report big enough that it managed to vaporize 80% of the ships they were facing, but his Aestivalis and the other 3 right floating nearby make out of it literally without a scratch. (00:05:10)

Jungle Jeopardy - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Dum-Dum cuts the rope releasing Chug-a-Boom from the balloon, we cut to the car and you can see Clyde and Dum-Dum are surrounded by the rest of the Ant Hill Mob, but when we see the two in the next shot, the other members are nowhere to be seen.

Rugrats picture

Bug Off/The Crawl Space - S9-E5

Continuity mistake: In Moving Away, Tommy tells the other Rugrats how they first met when Angelica lied about the nasty things they did. However in the Crawl Space, there is a flashback of Tommy, Chuckie, Phil and Lil playing in the playpen when they were younger. Chuckie is scared of the Jack-in-a-box in that flashback, so the Rugrats could not have met for the first time back then.

Dragon Tales picture

Show generally

Plot hole: In each episode, Emmy, and Max travel to dragon land (often for a long time) without their parents ever knowing. This makes no sense. Their parents would notice sooner, or later that Max, and Emmy always go in, and out of the house, or that it's always quiet in Emmy, and Max's playroom. You'd think Emmy, and Max's parents would get suspicious, and would question their children accordingly.

The Astral Prison - S1-E22

Continuity mistake: When Lion-O lands after falling down the crevice after encountering the 3-Eyed monster the ThunderCat Logo on his is a red Lion on a black background, in all other shots it's a black lion on a red background. (00:07:30)

Love Hina picture

Show generally

Continuity mistake: I know that Animators re-use backgrounds but it is painfully obvious that when Keitaro and Narusegawa are leaving the exam results posting they walk in a straight line past the same "Ristorante" three times.

More Star Wars Rebels mistakes
The Addams Family picture

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In the episode where Fester invents a fabric: When Fester lies down on the parking lot, his head is first pointing upwards, towards a car, then in the next shot he has turned 90 degrees and his head is pointing towards Norman's legs.

Point, Laser Point - S1-E26

Continuity mistake: When Granny tells Sylvester to stop chasing Tweety Bird, he comes to a stop and Tweety Bird keeps going and is ahead of him. But in the next shot, Tweety is now behind Sylvester (between Sylvester and Granny), however, there's not enough time for him to fly back that far (or even circle around), and we would have seen him do it.
