Full Metal Panic!

Kidnap - S1-E3

Character mistake: During the briefing for the rescue mission, several Russian locations appear to be made-up (or could simply be misspelled beyond recognition), but "Vladivostok" was mentioned before, and it's not spelled "Vladiostok" like in the map. (00:17:35)

Kidnap - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: One of the most noticeable features of the plane is the Japanese flag and country name just between the upper and lower set of windows. It goes missing on the runway when Gauron warns the passengers against trying to escape - and when the same shot later is recycled as Teletha is addressing the situation. (00:06:35)

Kidnap - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: The co-pilot loses the bottom bloodstain on his lower left cheek in a few shots, and the ones on his shirt change size and shape continuously.

Trivia: The anime TV series, originally scheduled to debut on Japanese television in October 2001, was delayed in respect for the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States. The Japanese release of an anime TV series about teenagers fighting international terrorists was considered tactless so soon after the attacks against the U.S. by international terrorists. It was released January 8, 2002, three months after its originally announced premier date.
