Be A Clown - S1-E11

Revealing mistake: When Mayor Hamilton Hill speaks to his geriatric butler as he is tying up the birthday banner, the butler's right hand is miscolored in some frames and becomes part of the banner, same purple color. (00:03:55)

Be A Clown - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: The Mayor is giving an inauguration speech. Look at the crowd in the long shot. It cuts closer, and you can see that the man in cowboy hat that was in the crowd moved behind the mayor on stage. A journalist in red tailleur also switches to lilac. (00:01:20)

The Forgotten - S1-E23

Plot hole: Alfred manages to find the bad guys because not only they grabbed the supposedly homeless guy off the street (Bruce in disguise), but also somehow brought his car to the scrapyard. If they knew it was his, they would have known something was off (a hobo with a car?) and they would have not got rid of it after more than a day. If they didn't, and they just towed out a random car, Alfred had extraordinary luck - nothing in fact would lead to believe that the truck was even related to the car.

The Forgotten - S1-E23

Other mistake: Bruce remembers who he is, which somehow gives him also the strength to bend metal (!) and escape. A new prisoner is carried in the camp by the guards, but...he's not new at all. He was already there the first day, standing in the group of prisoners that was eating. And the guy who escorts him is the same that less than a second later spots Bruce from the watchtower and blows the whistle. (00:06:20 - 00:14:30)

P.O.V. - S1-E13

Plot hole: The two agents split; the rookie goes down an alley, chasing the two henchmen, who reached their car and chase him back down the alley almost running him down. Batman saves him though, destroys the car and quickly interrogates a suspect. Somehow though he also manages to save Montoya, who went inside the warehouse right away as they split the warehouse. The timing does not work.

P.O.V. - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: The lieutenant is drinking a mug of coffee (or whatever) when he begins to listen to Bullock's story. The rest of the scene takes place inside the same room, but the mug just vanishes without a trace, it's not on the desk.

Sammo

The Underdwellers - S1-E27

Other mistake: The kids need sunglasses to be in daylight, since they have been segregated into the darkness of the sewers for so long. For the happy ending though, only the first one has a moment (very brief, considering that Frog still needed them at Bruce's) of squinting, eye-rubbing and discomfort. The others are instantly fine already the moment they are pulled out of the manhole. (00:21:35)

The Underdwellers - S1-E27

Continuity mistake: Alfred is skilfully dancing while sitting and sipping tea. The radio rests next to a circular monitor on the computer. Then on a featureless spot, then directly on the monitor itself. (00:04:05)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

No Victory in Semi Final - S1-E21

Plot hole: The whole team went into the match, and the tournament, without knowing its rules. They all are totally surprised by the fact that the top 2 teams qualify from each group. Of course, that's quite impossible, especially since there are veterans in the team, Tsubasa is a football fanatic, Misaki is a clever student of the game, and you just don't walk into a tournament you have prepared for and looked forward to for ages without knowing such a basic fact.

No Victory in Semi Final - S1-E21

Stupidity: The decisive goal happens merely because the players pass the ball to the opposition instead of clearing to the wings. Reading poorly the situation happens in real life as well, but here we have a group of 4 players who charge in close formation, and with all the rest of the field at their disposal, the two Nankatsu players pass the ball in the middle of them for no reason.

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The Mighty Shot - S1-E19

Other mistake: Behind Ishizaki on the bench as he incites Tsubasa in the last action of the episode, Manabu's legs and feet do not link correctly (something went wrong in the drawing, he's sockless all of a sudden and the ankles are much wider than the feet). (00:19:25)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The Mighty Shot - S1-E19

Continuity mistake: Roberto realises Hyuga's fright technique; as he does that, the person between himself and Mrs. Oozora is wearing a white shirt. Reaction shot on her, and it's a man in yellow that was in a different position earlier. (00:11:20)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

The Mighty Shot - S1-E19

Character mistake: Rare instance in this anime, a foul is given when four players from Meiwa tackle Tsubasa at once and hook his foot when he successfully evaded them. In truth though, any referee should have blown the whistle already way before, since the four ganged on Tsubasa throwing themselves at him multiple times before that one, each time sticking their leg out without even aiming at the ball - Tsubasa has to literally duck to avoid one of those tackles.

Fatal Confrontation - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: When Tsubasa and Hyuga have their senseless head-to-head challenge, they have a low wall and a green hill and trees as background instead of the bleachers that were visible in the wider angles. (00:14:00)

The Mighty Shot - S1-E19

Revealing mistake: Taki dispossesses an adversary, and promptly two more run towards him. The animation skips during their run, with the advertising banners changing color between two frames. (00:06:25)
