Continuity mistake: Mrs. Lopez asks Allie about the creative writing assignment. During two close-ups on Hallee Hirsh when the teacher lists the specs of this homework, she has part of her right pigtail in front of her shoulder, but in the rest of the scene that part of her hair is behind her back.

The Ultimate Christmas Present (2000)
Continuity mistake: When Mrs. Lopez calls Allie out as she is working on her illuminated manuscript, the object of her attention drops the pen before turning around. In the next shot he's holding the same pen in hand. (00:04:55)

The Ultimate Christmas Present (2000)
Continuity mistake: While the mother mentions that they need to align the Christmas schedules, Joey fetches the juice tetrapack from the other end of the counter twice in two separate shots. (00:03:20)

The Ultimate Christmas Present (2000)
Continuity mistake: Allie's brother asks their dad (who just finished pitching the "bones for bowsers dot com " idea to Sam) "How long are you gonna be gone this time." He raises and lowers the hands in the same shot, and in the next the hands are raised again. (00:03:15)

Other mistake: When Hallee Hirsh 's name appears in the credits, a kid on a scooter moves across the screen, and he looks into the camera. (00:00:35)

What If...? (2021)
What If... Ultron Won? - S1-E8
Plot hole: Ultron cuts through Thanos like butter and acquires the Infinity Stones. He does so after he kills all life on the planet (-2). So Thanos has all the Stones (except Vision/Ultron's) years earlier than normal continuity, for no reason. Not just that; Ultron proceeds then to 'silence' the rest of the universe one planet at a time (which would take forever; Thanos wanted the gems exactly to avoid doing that and make genocide efficient). Amongst those planets, one where he fights The Guardians of the Galaxy, including...Gamora, who should be dead or Thanos could have never got the Soul gem.

What If...? (2021)
What If... Ultron Won? - S1-E8
Stupidity: For some reason, Ultron's Mind Stone is a death ray thousand times more powerful than anything ever seen; not only it one-shots Thanos wearing all the other stones, but effortlessly dissolves the star-forged Gauntlet that is meant to withstand the power of all gems combined.

What If...? (2021)
What If... Ultron Won? - S1-E8
Other mistake: Ultron exterminates the world population quite literally nuking the planet. Black Widow and Hawkeye survive because they are in the air during the global inferno (that's not really how it works) and for the rest of the episode they saunter about on a world full of the deadliest level of radiation in a nuclear winter (electricity and cellular phones work, too).

What If...? (2021)
What If... The Watcher Broke His Oath? - S1-E9
Stupidity: Infinity Stones are so particular to each universe that a gem-destroying tool coming from another universe can't do anything to them, but on the other hand Ultron has no problem using them in any other universe, including where The Watcher is hidden, which should be extraneous to space and time much like the TVA (where the stones are worthless paper weights).

What If...? (2021)
Other mistake: Dialogue when the heroes locate the base; "The beacon's location was corrupted in transit, we have no idea where it came from." "Well, it looks to me your message is in non-linear hexacode" "That location looks familiar, Agent Carter?" And Sharon instantly identifies it. It may make sense when you write it, but not when there's no pause between sentences and no 'location' is shown. From "We have no idea where it comes from" to "Does it *look* familiar?" through a non-sequitur. (00:08:00)

Jet Robot (1975)
An Insidious Trap! The Flying Fleet - S1-E3
Revealing mistake: When Hayato attacks Bullface with the Liger missiles, the explosion does not follow at all the outline of the ground, it just cuts away in a straight line superimposed in the wrong spot. (00:18:15)
17th Jan 2022
Jet Robot (1975)
An Insidious Trap! The Flying Fleet - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: When Ryoma and Hayato launch their ships after the smoke temporarily clears, you can see in the hangar the Getter Poseidon, which is still outside in the forest with Benkei. (00:16:35)
17th Jan 2022
Jet Robot (1975)
Mystery of the Fearsome 100 Demon Empire - S1-E2
Other mistake: When Joho is looking at 'the crazy guy' praying under the dam, the racquets in his hand (assuming that's what it is) are misshapen. (00:10:15)

Kindaichi shônen no jiken bo (1997)
Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 1 - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: Kindaichi's teacher has a book rolled in his hand in a pattern that changes between shots. (00:02:25)

Kindaichi shônen no jiken bo (1997)
Opera House Murder Case: File 3 - S1-E23
Plot hole: For Kiryu's murder, the killer's trick consisted in the fact that he wore her shoes after hanging her with a cable while she looked down from the window. First of all, it would have never worked as shown and the cable would have clutched her shoulders and arms rather than wrapping around the perfect spot on her neck to trick people to think she was hanged. Second, she was in her room and most likely not wearing shoes, thirdly; he'd still would have left a mark putting her shoes on unless he did it in midair, but still unless she had unusually big feet they would have never fitted him, and he couldn't leave the perfect prints that resulted.

Kindaichi shônen no jiken bo (1997)
Opera House Murder Case: File 3 - S1-E23
Plot hole: In the first episode, Hidaka screamed twice, but nobody heard the first scream, and everyone instantly came when they heard the second, but couldn't hear the sound of the crashing chandelier. She herself did not hear the alarm bell, but that is explained; trouble is, the fact that a curtain could make the stage totally soundproof is just impossible. A thick stage curtain can dampen the noise but not nullify it.

Kindaichi shônen no jiken bo (1997)
Opera House Murder Case: File 2 - S1-E22
Character mistake: Like the previous episode, Fuyuko Tsukishima's name is transliterated wrongly in "Tukishima" on the cover of the diary.
17th Jan 2022
Kindaichi shônen no jiken bo (1997)
Opera House Murder Case: File 2 - S1-E22
Other mistake: In the flashback with the sulphuric acid bottle dropping on Fuyuko, the bottle has still the cap on, making the incident as it is shown impossible. It should also be noted that there's a shattered glass noise, but in the previous episode we saw the bottle was perfectly intact on the floor and was even reused for a murder (although how could the culprit be in possession of it is a mystery - it's the same one since the stain on the label is identical). (00:15:55)

The King of Fighters All Star
Other mistake: During the KoF 2002 storyline, multiple times (would be redundant to enumerate them) there is no proper distinction in the text formatting between what the main character thinks acting as narrator, and what he actually communicates to the other characters as in-world dialogue. For the most part with rare hiccups, in the previous parts of the Story Mode the distinction was clear, with the thoughts being enclosed between parentheses.

Ultraman: A Special Effects Fantasy Series (1965)
Urutora sakusen dai ichi gô - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: The space team members sport a fancy tie clip with a warning light. When they show the effect, there's a mid-zoom cut and the tie casts a different shadow on the shirt of the Chief. (00:11:05)
