Dio the Invader - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Dio gets in front of Erina Pendleton that is heading back home. She spots him and her left-hand drops, but she again holds it high in front of her mouth in the next shot. (00:15:10)

Dio the Invader - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Dio challenges some hoodlum at the game that men of dubious virtue would play in the London slums at the turn of the century; chess. He reaches over to grab the coins the guy tossed at him, but when the sore loser smashes his face in the grub, the dish is suddenly directly in front of him and the chessboard disappeared. (00:03:10)

Dio the Invader - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When JoJo is eating the steak the first time, in close-up the juices have overflown the plate, but in the next shot there's no such mess on the tablecloth. Moreover, you can see him cut the last piece in half, and then pick it up whole. (00:02:50)

Other mistake: Augustina approaches "Bill at the bar. The bar's clock shows it's 9:12. The two go on to talk for over 2 minutes of real time, and she says "it was so 10 minutes ago" when he quotes an earlier bit of the conversation; no matter how much time it passed, the clock did not advance. (00:02:10 - 00:04:10)

Continuity mistake: Mina visits Petey at the store, tells him to sit down, sits down herself. During the conversation, the sleeve of her tee is covered in hair in the front views, clear in the reverse angle. (00:09:00)

Continuity mistake: Sue finds out the hard way that she shares a birthday with Janet. The woman blows several candles in the first shot, including the one that in the next shot is the lone survivor she still has to put out. (00:08:00)

Continuity mistake: When Debbie approaches Petey from behind asking him what did he put in the back pocket, the position of his fingers on the item changes suddenly at the cut. (00:06:05)

Continuity mistake: After her sister hangs up on her, Sue repeats in front of the mirror the self-help audio mantra. She suddenly holds the receiver in front of her chest higher than in the previous shot. (00:04:10)

Yukiyasha Legend Murder Case: File 3 - S2-E16

Factual error: Kindaichi begins his revelations at 4:10, and the time gradually shifts at 4:20 (which is a bit much for the amount of information revealed and the dynamics of the conversation, but okay). He then moves to the river, which is a couple minutes away from the house by car, to deliver the rest of his speech, and the sun dawns at that moment. It's a Japanese winter with -20 C°, the sun surely wouldn't rise at 4 AM. (00:06:30 - 00:12:00)

Yukiyasha Legend Murder Case: File 3 - S2-E16

Continuity mistake: During the denouement, Kindaichi places the green box on top of the blank sheet he used for the demonstration, and you can see it on the table. In the rest of the scene, the box and the scissors are there, but the sheet quietly disappears from the table, coming back only when the first angle is reused. (00:05:45 - 00:06:35)

Yukiyasha Legend Murder Case: File 2 - S2-E15

Stupidity: A world-famous painter known to be anti-social dies in a plane crash with other passengers in Hokkaido, Japan. The first responders are 4 reporters, one of which recognizes the corpse at first glance. They bury the body and one of them, on the spot and with no preparation, decides to impersonate him pretending to have burn marks on his face and going on wearing a surgical mask and a wig for 10 years. This has so many logical flaws; for this plan to work, the police had to never ask him anything, check his health after being the sole survivor of an airline tragedy, and the painter needed to have absolutely nobody who'd recognize his voice or know him at all.

Continuity mistake: David goes downstairs and finds out about his surprise birthday party. The tape recorder and the other objects on the table change position between shots around the ugliest cake ever. (00:05:25)
