Cygnus! Hyogen no senshi - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: In the sequence where Hyoga defeats Ichi breaking his armor with the extreme cold of his Diamond Dust, in one intermediate bit the coloring artist did something wrong and didn't fill the leg with the green color of the suit, but rather the pale skin color of Ichi's. So, for a second it seems that Ichi is in his underwear, or Hyoga froze his pants off. (00:21:05)

Cygnus! Hyogen no senshi - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: In the close-up of the Cygnus armor awakening to welcome Hyoga as their knight, the swan is drawn in a totally different way from before (much narrower eyes, double row of feathers, different angle of the beak). (00:09:40)

Cygnus! Hyogen no senshi - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Hyoga is underwater holding his dead frozen mother's hand, the rose is in a spot of her hair away from any other flower. In the close-up of the cadaver, there is a wreath of pale pink flowers touching the rose he just put down. (00:07:25)

Cygnus! Hyogen no senshi - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Saori waves off Tatsumi and his tray of newspapers. In the next shot, her earring becomes a solid circle instead of the pearl grape earring she wears in the rest of the scene (with same angle and camera distance, it's not a simplification of the drawing). (00:04:55)

Moero! Pegasus Ryuseiken - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Initially, Geki collapses with his cloth being pulverized. During the announcement of the winner, we see Geki on the mat, still unconscious, but the Cloth is stil covering his chest, mostly intact. (00:21:05)

Moero! Pegasus Ryuseiken - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: At the entrance of Saori Kido's villa, Jabu asks Seiya to get on his knees and to leave the armor. Seiya has his left arm relaxed, but when it switches to a close-up, his left hand is up and latching on the strap of the cloth's box. (00:07:00)

Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Shaina launches her Thunder Claw announcing the name of the move for the first time, she has blood coming down her armpit. She'll get that wound only much later in the fight when Seiya punches from the bottom of the slope and tears her shoulderstrap off. (00:15:10)

Sammo

Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The octagonal ornament at the centre of the sides of the box containing the Pegasus cloth is considerably larger in the arena scenes compared to the scenes in the hut. Even worse, when Seiya runs away with it leaping over craters and such, it gets even smaller, and stays that way also in the following episode. (00:12:50)

Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When the Grand Pope awards the Cloth to Seiya, his necklace has 4 fuchsia beads on both sides. When he was displaying the prize early in the episode, his necklace had 3 of those large beads. (00:04:30 - 00:11:40)

Sammo

Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The Pegasus armor is contained by a box, metallic grey, placed on a slab next to the Grand Pope. When Seiya cuts off Cassios' ear, the box appears gold/bronze colored, and when he tells Cassios "I owe you quite a lot of payback", the pillar with the armor is right behind him already instead than the top of the stairs. (00:05:50)

Sammo

Yomigaere! Eiyuu Densetsu - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: During the fight with Cassios, blood keeps changing position on the face of the beastly man, in particular on his chin and above the right eyebrow. He also bleeds profusely on his shoulder, and plenty at the beginning runs down his other arm and hand, but there's no trace in any of the subsequent drawings, only the face stays bloodied. (00:05:50 - 00:11:30)

Shito! Kyofu no kokushiken - S1-E11

Audio problem: Hyoga butts in with "What did you say you just saw, Ikki?", but Ikki was THINKING that phrase about seeing the battle, not saying it out loud - unless he was practicing ventriloquism without an audience. (00:21:50)

Kiseki no fukkatsu! Yuyo no cosmo - S1-E5

Trivia: When Seiya falls down during the victory celebration and the three kids scream (the shot that comes before the one where Miho drops the picture) you can see briefly in the audience between the kids an easter egg appearance of Magical Princess Minky Momo, a character from a different anime. (00:13:50)
