Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo Returns

Reika Hayami and the Uninvited Guest - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: The bad guy digs his fork and knife into the juicy steak, and we get a close-up of that. When he forces out a laughter at Kindaichi's statement a couple of shots later, we see the plate changed; the veggies swapped position and the cut does not match. (00:05:30)

Reika Hayami and the Uninvited Guest - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Reika asks everyone who got the first two questions right to stand, the imposter's cup and Kindaichi's are different from just a moment before; Kindaichi's is suddenly empty and both cups are turned (the guy's cup and plate switched side too). (00:10:20)

The Alchemy Murder Case File 2 - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: Miyuki and Reika are alone in the makeshift cell. When they sit on the bed after Kindaichi left them alone, the bottles on the table keep changing the direction they face between shots - just look at the "500 ml" notation, which faces the camera in 1 out of 3 bottles in the first two shots - which are taken at opposed angles - and then in all 3 bottles in close-up. (00:14:20)

The Alchemy Murder Case File 3 - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: Mikage is startled by someone knocking at the door. She then puts the knife back on the desk when she realises who is it. The knife and the towel she partially hides it in are in the middle of the desk, but when they tell her that she is a likely target, the items are on the edge of the table. (00:05:10)

The Alchemy Murder Case File 4 - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: In the flashback when we see the culprit holding the newspaper with the news about the suicide, their thumb is on the blue box, which is at the edge of the page. Then they fall on their knees crying, and there's suddenly an extra bit of newspaper to the right of the box and their hand is on that. (00:15:15)
