Full Metal Panic!

Laundry Panic - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Mao takes all the noodles to herself, leaving behind just Sousuke's sets of chopsticks. Except, one shot later, Kurz's chopsticks are still in place as well. (00:05:50)

Laundry Panic - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Talking about the reason why Sousuke should go on the school trip even if his mission is over, Mao's hands are raised as she hunches over, then down on the desk and raised the same way as before. (00:19:00)

Laundry Panic - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Kaname tells Sousuke to not bother her with his questions about garbage collecting, Sousuke is holding his bag over the left shoulder, but has nothing there in the close-up after his panty-stealing classmate chipped in. (00:19:50)

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.

The Whispered One - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Kaname is talking to Sousuke, wiggling her bare feet. You can see she is sitting with the sandals next to her. When Sousuke notices the enemies, he pushes her to the side, and she is instantly wearing sandals again. When we see her again, curled up with the bullet cases flying around her, she is again barefoot. (00:16:55 - 00:19:00)

Still Alive - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Kaname is in an embarrassing fanservice position after Sousuke and her realise that Kurz has been watching them, she is suddenly barefoot instead of wearing the sandals she had on for most of the episode and definitely had on when they started talking. (00:08:30 - 00:11:25)

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.
