'Otoko rashiku' de ikô! - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: During the episode, whenever the crew watches Akito fight, the shots from behind show to the right of the nasty admiral Sadaaki Munetake (the guy with the bad bowl cut) his fellow with blue hair, and to his left the short guy with a moustache. In the front views, it's the opposite. The Prospector (the brightly colored fellow, purple pants, pink vest, yellow shirt) also appears in the front view but is nowhere in sight in the back shots.

Gundam Rising - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The Zeon mobile suits land on the exterior of the colony and two of them operate the locks that allow them to enter. In close-ups, they both cast a shadow behind their back (so, in opposite directions, since they are to the right and to the left of the hatch), but in the establishing shot they both cast a shadow in the same direction. Also, the floor itself does not have the same markings between shots. (00:03:20)

Sharkbait - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: To beat the traffic, Coop skateboards inside a construction pipe. The pipe is on the back of a truck, so it's not exactly very long, and gets picked up by a crane arm mounted on the truckbed itself. However, Coop takes ages to come out of the pipe, and in the shot from inside the pipe it looks as if is dozens of meters above the street level, which isn't. (00:08:00)
