The Alchemy Murder Case File 3 - S1-E8

Stupidity: The plot throws in a drawing from a XVII century tome asserting that the building was designed with alchemic purposes by the scientist who built it. Wonderful, but the concept is not carried out coherently; the elements (as in, elements from the periodic table, which does not fit the era already, but let's say it was an original take) are placed with no relation to the basic scheme. For instance, Tin is in the "Moon" position, and its murder was executed with Fire, and some intersections have one room, some two, with no logic.

Plot hole: The death of the director is never shown, and for a reason; it would have been impossible for the killer to drop from the ceiling and kill her on the toilet stabbing her in the chest without her even noticing. (00:13:55)

Revealing mistake: In the intro of the game, look at the newspaper on the desk in the shot when you can only see the arms of the protagonist. The headline to the left of the picture is handwritten.

Continuity mistake: When the producer is reading in bed the script for Gold Rush, he holds the book with 3 fingers touching the letters, which turn to 4 fingers in close-up. (00:09:35)

The Alchemy Murder Case File 3 - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: When the paper cup falls to the floor, it spills water between two floor tiles or just on one depending on the shot. (00:05:15)

The Alchemy Murder Case File 3 - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: Kindaichi and Miyuki visit the jittery former idol. She pours herself a drink of water from a bottle that changes shape between shots. (00:05:00)

The Alchemy Murder Case File 3 - S1-E8

Revealing mistake: The setup of the story is the usual; characters forced to coop together at a secluded location, they can't contact the outside world and one of them is a killer. In this case, they are on an island and the only radio they had been on the boat that someone set on fire. However, when one of the suspects shows Kindaichi a photo from their smartphone, the screen shows that they have an active 3G connection. (00:08:00)

The Alchemy Murder Case File 2 - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: In the final murder of the episode, the smashed pieces of the vase change position on the floor between shots; easy to spot when you go by the floor tiles and the grid they form. (00:19:25)

The Alchemy Murder Case File 2 - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Miyuki wakes up from the drug effect, the bottle on the floor originated a puddle of water that changes between shots. (00:18:45)

The Alchemy Murder Case File 2 - S1-E7

Revealing mistake: The director is drinking alone and freaks out about to go on a murderous rage. In the shot when she realises that her snacks have been tampered with and stands up, the bottle of "Yontory whisky" she is drinking from has a different texture from the rest of the scene. The snacks themselves also change position between shots. (00:17:00)

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 1 - S1-E6

Stupidity: Kindaichi is on the set of a reality show, with a film crew. When one person goes missing, he is the one who comes up with the idea to tell those people, a reality show film crew, to check the footage of the cameras, and the TV people are shocked by this brilliant idea.

The Alchemy Murder Case File 1 - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: When Kindaichi shifts the stage screen Miyuki is holding, her fingers are not gripping the sides in the new position. Unless she is keeping it up sticking the back of it to her palms like Spider-man, it is impossible. She does hold it normally in all the other shots. (00:01:55)

Reika Hayami and the Uninvited Guest - S1-E5

Stupidity: The plot hinges on the fact that the culprit switched clothes with the guy in the bathroom. It would be unfair to say that they do not address the issue, since both the shoes and the belt buckle are mentioned. However, this can work just in a cartoon, since he could wear without any issue and looking absolutely dapper the jacket and shirt of an obese guy. Anyone trying that in reality wouldn't just have to tighten the belt.

Reika Hayami and the Uninvited Guest - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: The bloodstains on the back of the pink shirt change throughout the episode, from the time when the victim wore it, to the various phases when the culprit is exposed. (00:19:55)

Reika Hayami and the Uninvited Guest - S1-E5

Stupidity: A rather unnecessary part of the plot focuses on the convict trying to learn Reika's last name by ordering something on her behalf to read the name on the bill. That's absurd; he couldn't possibly know if the bill would just have the number of the cabin on it instead, or the production company's, and quite frankly for such a VIP (the cruise itself was a one-evening trip around the bay just so fans could spend time with their idol Reika, and he knew that) the ship wouldn't even charge anything for a drink brought to her room.

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)

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)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: In multiple instances (for instance when they go look for him outside) Father Parker is incorrectly lacking any capitalization ("father parker").

Mystery of the Fearsome 100 Demon Empire - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: The toy plane in Benkei's cockpit changes shape from the first part of the episode. (00:23:10)
