The Core Fighter's Escape - S1-E7

Other mistake: The Core Fighter has been launched using the catapult that shot it over Garma and Char's position. Despite the need to move forward and the huge momentum built being shot like a missile by White Base, when Amuro dogfights with Char's capsule he flies in all directions around it, and Char's ascended almost vertically. (00:14:00)

Garma's Fate - S1-E10

Other mistake: White Base knocks a car off a rock, but does not hit the rock itself with the part that sticks further lower and passes by right after. (00:06:30)

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: 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)

Destroy Gundam! - S1-E2

Other mistake: Bright gets notified that one of the two Zakus is approaching at a velocity 3 times higher than a normal mobile suit's. However, the two dots on the radar (Char and his subordinate Slender's) move in parallel at the same speed. (00:18:15)

Re-Entry to Earth - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Fraw Bow hands soap and towels to a couple old men. The one behind her is wearing a blue suit with a green-ish bowtie. She looks around for Amuro, and when she finds him, Mr. Bowtie is wearing earthy colors, beige suit with a red tie. (00:03:00)

Sammo

Re-Entry to Earth - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Char in his close quarter clash with Amuro sinks his Heat Hawk in the Gundam' shield, creating a huge gash that almost breaks it. When Kom explodes and both are thrown to the side and separated, Amuro's shield has still the hole from the early phases of the battle but not the big gash at the top. (00:15:50)

Garma Strikes - S1-E6

Audio problem: The officer is trying to force Bright to send out of the Gundam to break through the enemy forces. Kikka is singing, which makes him lose his temper. You can see though that when she supposedly sings her mouth is instead closed. (00:05:30)

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)

Vote to Attack - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, Amuro takes his drink from Fraw Bow's cart holding it with his left hand - his right is occupied by the helmet. However in the next shot here he is, holding it in his right hand. (00:22:45)

Gundam Rising - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Amuro stopped the car in front of the location where the two Federation officers die in the explosion, at a certain distance. When he is shown reading the manual with everyone running away from the shelter, the damaged car got closer and it is almost inside the hangar. (00:11:00 - 00:13:00)

Sammo

Garma Strikes - S1-E6

Other mistake: When Amuro exits the Gundam cockpit after successfully repelling Garma's forces, his hair is colored jet black instead of brown (nothing else in the scene changes color and it is a fairly mundane transition, so it's not a matter of light). (00:19:50)
