Don't Touch That Dial - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Wanda just found the toy helicopter in the shrub. Agnes surprises her; from the front, her left hand has the pinky finger sticking out and the thumb curled, but in the reverse shot the fingers are bent differently. (00:07:45)

Factual error: The scene with Queen Victoria in Florence happens too early since it is supposed to happen in the spring of 1888 but Abdul Karim was not yet her official "Munshi", being appointed to that title in August of the same year.

Factual error: Performing for Queen Victoria is the famous opera composer Giacomo Puccini. This happens during her sojourn in Florence in 1888. Puccini was born in 1858, so he was barely thirty years of age, but the actor portraying him, Simon Callow, is in his late 60s (and it shows). Moreover, he is presenting his latest creation "Manon Lescaut"; in 1888 he hadn't even started working on it.

Continuity mistake: Maya just made a fool out of herself with her first unfortunate riding efforts, but recovered nicely. She exchanges words with Brooklyn; her "don't hate the player, hate the game" reply comes in a shot when she is in a position where she would not be facing her, and then it cuts to a close-up of the horse as he speaks, and where his head is lit in an entirely different way compared to the rest of the scene. (00:26:55)

Continuity mistake: Maya and Brook are arguing in the bus, and the donut guy interjects; "Let's play the quiet game." He puts his right arm on the opposite aisle, but it's in his lap at the cut. (00:16:45)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: After the car crash, Maya follows the darn dog to complain about his careless crossing. In an abrupt cut, she has her right arm straight down the side, then her hand is on her hip. (00:02:15)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, Maya swerves to avoid running a dog over. An extra in a pink shirt and jeans shorts is present at all times by the mailboxes she'll ram the car into, and that is good, but his position is inconsistent. In the overhead shot he's already past the newspaper box, in the next he's several meters behind, and then past that point again. (00:01:50)

A Long Way to Brazil - S1-E10

Character mistake: In the map of South America, the nation of Chile is misspelled as "CHLIE." (00:18:05)

Sammo ★

A Long Way to Brazil - S1-E10

Other mistake: When Ishizaki is unwrapping his leg from the bandages, he's wearing the football boot he is NOT wearing before and afterwards. (00:15:10)

Sammo ★

A Long Way to Brazil - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: Coach Mikami's sunglasses are pitch black during most scenes, but in his reaction shot to the news of Roberto Hongo's international retirement they are tan. (00:11:35)

Sammo ★

A Long Way to Brazil - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Roberto is looking at the team having a laugh with the still injured Ishizaki, there are 10 of them in the first shot with no keeper included and 10 including the keeper in the second. Both are wrong though, since Ryo has a substitute that is playing, so should be 11 players all along. Later in the episode when they run for the special training, it's 12 people, with Ishizaki still sidelined, but in the close-up of Roberto's foot you can see them run past, and it's 11 players. (00:07:05 - 00:10:10)

Continuity mistake: In the USA team ending, Heavy D's jacket goes from the right shoulder to the left shoulder during the cut on Brian saying "Okay, done."

Sammo ★

A Long Way to Brazil - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: Ryo Ishizaki is wearing yellow boots at first, then blue boots when he's throwing balls to the training partners. (00:02:15)

Sammo ★

A Long Way to Brazil - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: During Roberto's team talk, the keeper is wearing an ordinary jersey at first, then the proper red one. (00:01:50)

Sammo ★

The Last Chance - S1-E9

Other mistake: Misaki's dad just arrived at the stadium, and seeing his son play, he strokes his beard with a satisfied look. Problem is, he's still standing and the hand that rubs his chin was holding a toolbox he did not have time to put down (or anywhere to place it on, for that matter). (00:10:40)

Sammo ★

The Last Chance - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Taro Misaki's flashback starts with him juggling the ball as he wears a pink shirt and black pants. The pants change to green in the next shot, but even more surprising, he gets blue hair. (00:09:45)

Sammo ★

The Last Chance - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Mr. "OONN", the goalkeeper of Urabe's team, gets to wear a uniform completely different from his teammate's, but we saw him walk into the stadium exactly with the same tracksuit as the others 2 episodes earlier. And that he's wearing again in this same episode after the decisive goal. (00:07:05 - 00:13:45)

Sammo ★

The Last Chance - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When Wakabayashi dives and catches the cross as it's still high in the air, Misaki and Tsubasa are to his right, then to his left. (00:05:15)

Sammo ★

The Last Chance - S1-E9

Other mistake: After his ankle injury from the previous episode, Ryo writhes in pain touching...his knee. (00:03:00)

A Perfect Duo - S1-E8

Factual error: In this episode we have a random person showing up and being admitted to the team and playing as substitute on the spot, with nobody protesting. He puts on the (sweat-soaked, presumably!) uniform of another player and just goes ahead without any check from the referee or assistants. Given that the match is between two schools without necessarily having the official football federation involved, it is understandable, but they do not even ask the opposing coach if they are OK with something so obviously outside of any established rule. And they are still playing in a packed stadium, with official referees and even a radio commentator! Only in anime.
