Mobile Suit Gundam

Garma Strikes - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Garma deploys the Zeon Mobile Suits. The three Zakus descend in a different order in the various shots (the rightmost one is much closer to the ground at first, in midair it appears to be last but catching up, and then it changes again next). (00:14:00)

Garma Strikes - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Amuro passes by Fraw Bow without saying anything. After that, you can see a group formed by Ryu, Hayato, Sayla and Mirai rushing to greet him. But at the cut, Mirai is not there, replaced by Kai Shiden. (00:20:00)

Garma Strikes - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When Garma visits Char that is taking a shower, he has a pink report in hand. In the close-up, the paper is orange, with just a very small pink label on the front cover. Returns pink when he stands up to leave. Finally, just before he actually leaves, the document is back to the orange cover, this time with a pink label bigger than the first time. (00:21:50)

Winds of War - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: White Base collides with a mountain peak, sending Amuro and Fraw Bow flying. The cargo they were wheeling crashes against the wall. Haro from the top of pile bounces down on a component horizontal on the floor. Another element is leaning against this horizontal block, and the total height is greater than Haro's circumference. But in the reverse shot that diagonal piece is suddenly much smaller and barely reaches half of Haro's height. (00:03:00)

Fly! Gundam - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Bright takes the decoded message from Sayla's hand and hands it over with his right hand. When Lt. Reed is in view, we see Bright used his left arm instead. (00:04:50)

Fly! Gundam - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Amuro sees the elder pick up something from the tray of the kid next to him. When the elder leaves, the piece of food he stole earlier is still there on the kid's tray. (00:06:40)

Sammo

Garma's Fate - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: At the party, Garma is holding a normal glass when he talks to the two sycophants with horrible fashion taste, but when he looks towards Char approaching the bar, his glass suddenly acquires a dimpled surface. (00:03:00)

Sammo

Garma's Fate - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: The civilians still inside White Base are restless as the ship hides in the dome. One of them sitting on the floor is wearing a sand colored suit, that turns dark brown when Fraw Bow calls everyone's attention. (00:09:10)

Sammo

Garma's Fate - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Char is about to get inside his Zaku, Garma talks to him. Char's right arm is lowered when Garma is in frame, but his hand is on the hatch in the previous and following shot. (00:13:20)

Icelina- Love's Remains - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: Sayla hands Bright the dispatch from the Federation. Bright takes it with his left hand, turns around and walks away still with the message in the same hand - but at the cut, it's in his right hand. (00:10:30)

Sammo

The Threat of Zeon - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: Amuro gets up from the floor when he's been working on the Gundam backup computer. Going by the floor boards, the manual and the trays with the tools have moved around between shots. (00:05:45)

Sammo

The Threat of Zeon - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: Bright is sitting in his quarters, exhausted. Mirai enters his room, and he zips his uniform up; it is specifically shown that the zipper goes past the undershirt. When Sayla sends the alert from the bridge, Bright jumps up and answers with the tank top showing. (00:07:00)

Destroy Gundam! - S1-E2

Plot hole: Char is able to escape from Side 7 simply flipping a couple grenades he had on his person (shaped like the old style pineapple grenades) who tear huge holes into metal walls with a visible thickness in excess of a meter, including the outer wall of the space colony a salvo of Mega Particle Cannon from the battleship didn't break. If Zeon has such explosives at their disposal, then maybe they should not fight with battleships and giant robots, but simply have footsoldiers toss tiny grenades at the enemy. (00:15:00)
