Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 2 - S1-E20
Continuity mistake: In the scene with Kindaichi and Miyuki talk to the old fiancé on the rooftop of the police station, the shadow cast by the building changes significantly from the beginning of the conversation to the end. (00:05:50 - 00:07:10)
28th Mar 2022
Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 2 - S1-E20
Continuity mistake: During Reiji Aoi's flashback, the young fiancé is holding the phone with Marina's coerced text message in his right hand. Next shot and the hand is the left one. (00:06:15)
28th Mar 2022
Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 2 - S1-E20
Continuity mistake: The forensics team member that drains the tub and performs a quick postmortem on the victim is wearing a facemask. However, in the close-up of the moment when he bags the phone as evidence, his chin is in frame and bare. (00:03:10)
28th Mar 2022
Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 1 - S1-E19
Other mistake: The police is searching the crime scene of the supposed suicide. The police was alerted because the suicide happened by drowning, leaving the bathtub running till it overflew alerting the other people in the building. The body of the victim is still completely immersed in the bathtub (nobody drained it), and Kindaichi and Aoi walk on a dry floor while there should be a massive flooding.

Magical Express Murder Case: File 4 - S2-E13
Factual error: The Puppeteer from Hell in flashback is training in Italy, but the magazine they give him with the news opens Japanese-style. (00:13:35)
28th Mar 2022
Magical Express Murder Case: File 4 - S2-E13
Continuity mistake: During the denouement, they show one of the bags being carried away from the train; the size is completely incoherent with the one shown earlier. (00:07:25)
28th Mar 2022
Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 4 - S1-E22
Stupidity: The finale is sweet, but also the ultimate stupidity; there was a recording of the victim completely discharging one of the suspects from any blame, the recording was in one of the key evidences found by the police and used in the trial, but nobody ever played that recording. At least two families have to sue the State for a horrible job.
28th Mar 2022
Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 4 - S1-E22
Other mistake: When Busujima tells the real story of what happened 3 years before, the bathtub in the background drained completely, but nobody removed the drain stopper, which in fact is in frame and perfectly placed. (00:10:55)
28th Mar 2022
Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 4 - S1-E22
Continuity mistake: The position of Kindaichi's phone when it falls inside the bathtub changes between shots. The tub itself also fills way too quickly - and Kindaichi is in no rush to retrieve it.
28th Mar 2022
Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 4 - S1-E22
Continuity mistake: When Kindaichi runs the demonstration with his phone, the chain of the bathtub changes position between shots. (00:08:40)
28th Mar 2022
Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 4 - S1-E22
Other mistake: When Kindaichi shows his phone with the incriminating evidence, the phone's charge is at 60%, exactly the same charge it had last time we saw the same phone screenshot for the same purpose in the previous episode. Mere minutes later for the bathtub demonstration Miyuki calls him and the phone is charged at 80%. (00:07:50)
28th Mar 2022
Inspector Kenmochi the Murderer File 4 - S1-E22
Stupidity: The denouement in this episode does not make any sense. Two characters (the lawyer, the victim's sister) are suddenly present on the scene for the climax, but they were never invited and if they were at the hospital in the corridor right at that moment, Busujima could not sneak by Kenmochi's room. Later Kindaichi gingerly explains the rest at the other crime scene, which is in a different building somewhere else in the city - and they are all physically there, even the patients in their hospital gowns and slippers, it's not a dramatic rendition.
28th Mar 2022
Continuity mistake: David Chiang chases the man in a purple dress at the 1985 Hong Kong Marathon. He fires a warning gunshot; if you look at the guy in the back of the pick-up that the criminal is about to hijack, he lets go off the bar twice in two different shots. (00:02:35)
28th Mar 2022
Continuity mistake: When Marisa tries to save the hero by telling an old lady to move her car, the window is all the way down looking in, an inch raised looking out. (01:23:05)
28th Mar 2022
28th Mar 2022
Continuity mistake: When David opens the manhole to get in the sewers for the last time for the big finale, he is wearing the same blue sneakers he was wearing at the hospital, but as he goes down the ladder he is wearing black boots. (01:19:10)
28th Mar 2022
Continuity mistake: The gatekeeper lets Marisa and David in; the position of his clipboard changes between shots, and so does the position of the other hand, quite more noticeably so since it's off the button column, then on it suddenly again. (01:17:50)
28th Mar 2022
Continuity mistake: In the humorous bit with Marisa showing up at the gates of the party, her hand is on the window frame or on the steering wheel depending on the camera angle. (01:17:35)
28th Mar 2022
Visible crew/equipment: The vindictive alligator demolishes the bad guy's car; in the shot where the tyre flies off, you can spot the jack under the car. (01:17:05)
28th Mar 2022
Continuity mistake: The woman next to Slade when he's at the BBQ at the party holds her glass up, down, up in different shots. (01:14:40)
