** Another example from ''Brotherhood'' happens due to the anime [[CompressedAdaptation condensing the early chapters of the manga]] in order to reach new material that the first anime hadn't adapted. It was shown that, after Ed's first battle with Scar, Lust is tailing him on the same train to Resembool in order to protect him in case Scar returns. Thus when Armstrong calls out to Dr. Marcoh, whom he recognises at one of their pit stops, Lust ends up seeing the Doctor as well explaining how she was able to track him. In the anime there is no indication that Lust in following Edward so it seems as if she just arbitrarily finds the Doctor right after Ed, Al and Armstrong do.

* {{Plot Hole}}s seriously tarnish what is an otherwise excellent series in ''Flights of Fancy'', the second season of the ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'' TV series-- Skuld is seen using her stamp power in one late episode, but there's no episode in which we see it developed, and Chihiro, and her shop, Whirl Wind, show up, but Chihiro is never formally introduced, and the fact that she wanted to start a shop is never even mentioned.

* In ''Manga/{{Ooku}} The Inner Chambers'', [[spoiler:the shogunate bypasses the closest heir, Tokugawa Harusada, in favor of her son Toyochiyo (Shogun Ienari). In real life, the reason Ienari became shogun was because he had been adopted by his predecessor Ieharu to become his heir. In ''Ooku'', though, no such adoption ever took place, and everyone had expected Harusada to become the next shogun, making her abdication one of these, especially since no explanation's been given so far as to why she turned it down]].

** When Takeda is first introduced as a rival character for Fuutarou, he earns the ire of the latter for insulting the quintuplets, but later he explains that he wants no part of Mr. Nakano's personal grudge against Fuutarou, but still wants to beat him on the national mock exams for his own reasons and his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech toward the quintuplets was done to motivate Fuutarou to give his all. After Fuutarou wins the challenge, they develop a respect toward each other to the point where it's easy to see how they become friends and group up for the Kyoto field trip. The anime leaves out Takeda's explanation of his actions, making it actively baffling why Fuutarou would choose to be in a group with the guy who was last seen calling his beloved students hindrances to his face.

** In the manga, Kobayashi first learning about Tohru and Elma's past friendship and Ilulu meeting Saikawa were SynchronousEpisodes. The anime places the former two episodes after the latter, so Kobayashi's comment about running into Elma seems to come out of nowhere.
** Tohru is shown trying to teach both Kanna and Ilulu how to use the perception blocking spell in the anime despite an anime-original line while Ilulu was job hunting establishing that she had already learned it on her own.
** It's unclear how Kanna managed to fly everywhere without being seen in dragon form in the anime during her trip to New York (which includes landing on Liberty Island ''in broad daylight''), especially since she doesn't start learning perception blocking until the following episode. The manga lacks this issue since the two events happen in reverse order there.

Alphabetized several examples.
* ''Anime/AceAttorney'': A major part of Phoenix's backstory involves "class trial" when he was accused of stealing lunch money. Phoenix was sick the day the money was stolen and didn't attend PE class, so when he was the only student without an alibi, everyone assumed it was him. The anime-only episode "Turnabout Promise" [[AdaptationExpansion extended the scene]] by showing Phoenix taking the envelope the money was in, and [[NotWhatItLooksLike being seen by a girl from his class]]. However, despite being seemingly caught red-handed, the trial goes the same way it did in the game with Edgeworth claiming they accused him with no evidence. The fact that Phoenix was seen by someone isn't brought up at all.
* ''Manga/CityHunter'': In few filler episodes of the anime, main character Ryo gets on a plane or helipcoter. Later on in the manga, it is revealed that Ryo's afraid of flying.
* ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'' has a small version of this: Gauron's twin assassins mistakenly pronounce Kaname's surname Chidori using the Chinese reading of the characters. This makes sense in the original light novels and the anime adaptation, where they're Chinese; it's less logical in the manga adaptation ''Full Metal Panic! Sigma'', which [[RaceLift makes them]] ambiguously Caucasian {{Gothic Lolita}}s.
* In the seventh ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners'' movie, when Shiki takes Kokutou home from the hospital, they walk under the blooming CherryBlossoms to emphasize their newfound romantic happiness. This was changed from the original novel, where the scene takes place against the backdrop of appropriately severe early-March weather, and becomes a plot hole when the epilogue rolls around, taking place the day after Kokutou leaves the hospital, and Mifune City is in the throes of heavy snowfall again (which is actually foreshadowed by a weather report in the original novel). While not a major plot hole by any measure, it is obvious that the director of the adaptation has sacrificed internal consistency for the romantic spectacle in this case.
* The light novel of ''LightNovel/{{Gosick}}'' establishes the Grey Wolves are supernaturally unable to leave the Old World and will die of illness if tried. That's the true reason why the last Brian Roscoe dies in the ship and why Victorique's hair turns silver; she only manages to survive the ordeal because she's technically only a half-Grey Wolf. However, in the anime continuity Roscoe is another half-Grey Wolf himself, which means he should have survived with just decolored hair just like Victorique if the rule still applied. The reason why he suddenly dies in the ship, even although he seemed to be only superficially wounded and was receiving medical attention, is never explained, nor is Victorique's hair change. If anything, it's only implied that it might be a case of DeathByDespair and PrematurelyGreyHaired respectively due to all the tragic events.
* ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'':
** Kaguya and Ishigami's first tutoring sessions happened in the span of one week before the second semester final exams in the anime. However, they still kept the "Ishigami plays games right before the exams" gag, despite the fact that [[SternTeacher Kaguya would never allow it while he was under her tutelage]]. This plot hole doesn't exist in the manga, where the tutoring sessions were for a later test.
** Hayasaka is shown looking at a series of photos on a tablet while scolding Kaguya for her lack of progress with Shirogane in episode 16, the last of which is from the moon viewing. While that picture does exist in the manga (having shown up when the Student Council put all their photos into a group album at the end of the Cell Phone arc), it's unclear how she got her hands on it given that Ishigami was presumably the one who took it and it's unlikely he would have shared it on social media for fear of Kaguya's wrath.

* In ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs'', Chrono's staff Durandal was created by Gil Graham to fight the Book of Darkness. Due to Graham being AdaptedOut, the movie changed it to [[AncestralWeapon originally belonging to his father]]. All well and good, were it not for the fact that Chrono's father died via exploding spaceship while on duty (meaning he would have had his weapon with him), which makes you wonder how in the hell Lindy got a hold of it.
* ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'':
** Due to the chapters being adapted out of order, Lucoa and Fafnir checking up on Tohru during the dodgeball chapter loses most of its meaning. In the manga, it happened right after the whole debacle with Tohru's father, but it happened beforehand in the anime.
** Due to the change of how Kanna gets her hands on the chocolate that Tohru made, the anime adaptation of the Valentine's Day chapter leaves out the crucial plot point of how the LovePotion had no effect when consumed by a dragon (in the manga, Kobayashi is unaware of this, and ends up eating some of the chocolate when offered by Kanna because she assumed that if Kanna's eating it without any odd effects, it would be safe for her to eat as well).

* Several episodes of ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' have aspects that contradict the games.
** One of the most notable instances of this is the episode "Showdown in Dark City" where Electabuzz and Scyther are revealed to hate the color red. However, Scyther would later receive an evolution, Scizor, with a red body, which would imply it hates its own evolution.
** Another episode, "Pokemon Shipwreck" has Meowth try to eat a Magikarp, only to be met with hard scales and Misty claiming it's just scales and bones with little edible material. This makes little sense in the context of Pokedex entries mentioning Pidgeot hunting Magikarp, and comes off as plot convenience more than anything else.
* ''Manga/TheQuintessentialQuintuplets'':
** In the manga, the titular identical quintuplets can only be told apart from each other by their hairstyles and manner of dress, resulting in [[TwinSwitch quite a few situations where they impersonate each other]], either [[PlayedForLaughs comedically]] or [[PlayedForDrama seriously]]. While the color spreads make their hair out to be a shade or so lighter or darker than one another, [[AdaptationDyeJob the anime bumps this up to outright different colors]], and further differentiates them through distinct voice actresses. This makes any situation where one of the girls fools someone into believing she is a different one of her sisters look less like cleverness on her behalf and more like a case of the opposite party grabbing the IdiotBall, since to the viewer it's blatantly obvious which of the sisters is which.
** The flashback photo of the quintuplets as children brings up another point of discontinuity--in the manga, it's in black and white, but since the girls are all shown to have the same hair color it's reasonable to assume that they also did in the past. The anime also shows that all the girls as children had the same hair color, but in this case they have different colors as teenagers and the hair color they had as children is shown to be different from any of their current ones. Unless every single one of the quintuplets in the anime is dyeing their hair, it just comes off as a bizarre continuity error.

* In the anime adaption of the arc from ''Manga/SnowWhiteWithTheRedHair'', in which Zen, Obi, Kiki, Mitsuhide and the Mountain's Lions rescue Shirayuki and Kazuki, the pirates base is discovered after Raji chases the pirates in an attempt at giving the unapologetic attempted rapist AdaptationalHeroism. Unfortunately this means that Zen not only allowed Shirayuki to be taken out of his sight to be sold into slavery at an undisclosed location, it also means he conscripted Kiki to the same fate. In the manga the entire plan was generated because ''they already knew the location of the pirates' hidden base'' and were forcing them to return there in order to ambush them.
* ''Anime/SonicX'':
** Eggman has a realization that he was born on Earth, but this ended up [[AbortedArc never being elaborated on]]. It's unknown how Eggman ended up on Sonic's World and why he has no memory of his past on Earth. In ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'', Sonic and his peers [[LionsAndTigersAndHumansOhMy live on Earth amongst humans]].
** The anime follows Shadow's backstory from ''Adventure 2'' to a T but never explains how (or why) humans from Earth created a FunnyAnimal and why this FunnyAnimal just so happens to look like Sonic's kind. In the games this is explained by Funny Animals and humans coexisting.
* In the ''Literature/SoundEuphonium'' novel, the characters speak with Kansai dialects. This dialect is absent in the anime adaptation. This causes some issues, such as Reina and Kumiko's PlatonicDeclarationOfLove coming off as less ironic.

** Baam's DieOrFly moment at the end of the Crown Game is much more dramatic in the anime, and lots of people see him explode into a huge column of Shinsu... so it's incongruous that none of the other Regulars afterwards treat him as the guy who did something totally amazing. Even when Hoh is talking about how weirdly talented he is, he never brings that one up. In the original, the Shinsu just slashes at his opponent, and it makes sense that only Lero Ro understands something very out of the ordinary has occurred.
** In the Hide and Seek test, it's shown that Quant has enough SuperSpeed to just whoosh past any Regular (even Anaak) before they notice, and he can also freeze someone with Shinsu while doing so. So it's kind of weird he doesn't do anything about Hoh holding Rachel hostage, even when Hoh is distracted, especially when Quant is really angry about it at first but then just decides to leave. The English dub (which is often missing the point slightly) even has Quant bring up the possibility of freezing Hoh before turning to leave without doing it. In the original, Hoh and Rachel are within the safe zone Quant can't enter because he's their opponent in the game, but that doesn't exist in the anime. Also, Quant leaves in order to deal with two other Regulars who have also taken their teammates hostage, which also doesn't happen in the anime because Quant beats those two up after the first time they betray a teammate.[[note]]Yeah, it's not a very good team, to say the least.

* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'':
** Naruto claims to have only read 10 pages of Jiraiya's latest novel, Make Out Tactics, in the anime as an extra joke that he was lying when he distracted Kakashi by pretending to spoil the ending. However, later on [[spoiler:when he's trying to decode a message Jiraiya left behind while dying]], it's revealed that Jiraiya asked him to proofread his books, and he at least obliged to the degree he knows Jiraiya's handwriting [[spoiler: well enough to notice that he disguised a "ta" katakana (ã‚¿) as a 9]]. Perhaps he lied about lying he'd read the book, just to annoy Kakashi.
** A {{filler}} episode expanded Suigetsu and Sasuke's trip to get Zabuza's sword from the Land of Wave, and it's mentioned that Inari and Tazuna would be working on a job in the Cloud Village for the next year. However, in the manga they actually ended up making guest reappearances in a job in ''the Leaf Village'' ([[spoiler:helping rebuild after the Pain invasion]]) what was at most a couple of months later.
** A smaller one is how the anime gives the Fireball Jutsu to various characters that aren't members of the Uchiha clan or who are officially unable to perform Fire techniques.
** During Itachi's fight against Naruto and Kakashi in Shippuden, it is stated that Itachi's Sharingan is not affected by the Hidden Mist technique. This contradicts what happened in the Land of Waves arc, where Kakashi's Sharingan was rendered useless against Zabuza's technique.
** {{Omake}} should probably not be considered canon in general, but an early ''Shippuden'' omake has a ''really'' noticeable one where Deidara casually asks Kisame what Itachi is like as if he's never met him, even though Deidara was (forcibly) recruited into Akatsuki by Itachi in the first place and Deidara had spent the last several years trying to find a way to ''kill'' Itachi.
** One {{Filler}} arc had Hinata learn a unique, powerful technique featuring myriad pinpoint-precision chakra laser beams. Later in the manga, a major villain is able to {{curb stomp|Battle}} her using his powerful gravity blast attack--she spends the fight repeatedly charging at him while trying to land a physical hit, which is ''hopeless''. The chakra lasers would have obviously been a much better bet.
** The above-mentioned arc also has a glaring issue with [[FillerVillain the villains]] being stated as grandchildren of the First Tsuchikage, '''WAY''' before he actually debuts in the manga in a flashback of the Third and current Tsuchikage's. Why is this an issue? It is because the Third is the First's grandchild in that continuity and the latter is already a 79-year-old man by the time he first appears whereas the grandchildren from the filler can't be any older than 30-something at best. The same arc also says that the original Tsuchikage was an insect user like them but nothing the actual man shows in the flashback in either media remotely hints at such.
** In the anime [[spoiler:Obito]] is able to suck Fu into his PocketDimension without touching him, while in the manga it was not clear if he touched him or not and it was later ''explicitly stated'' to require physical contact, which was exactly why [[spoiler:Minato was able to beat him.]]
* ''Manga/DeathNote'':
** The anime adaptation omitted several scenes from the manga, which while usually not problematic, have led to plotholes. In the manga, it's explained that [[spoiler: SPK member Ill Ratt is actually a spy for Mello, which is how the mafia learned the SPK's names and were able to kill them.]] This is not explained in the anime, but in the ''Relight 2'' special, [[spoiler: the mafia are cut, and Light blackmails the president to send their names to Kiyomi Takada. In this version, Light's meetings with her and Teru Mikami are moved to earlier than occurred in the anime, and ''they'' kill the SPK.]]
** However, [[VoodooShark while fixing one plothole, said special creates another]]: as [[spoiler: the mafia are cut, Soichiro making the trade for Shinigami Eyes and subsequent death]] is omitted in the process, leaving plotholes regarding [[spoiler: Soichiro's absence]] as well as how Light was [[spoiler: able to acquire Mello's true name.]]
** Also in ''Relight'', they have one scene where Light says to Ryuk that talking with him would be impossible due to his room being bugged by L, but two scenes later they are shown freely talking without any mention of said cameras being removed.
* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'':
** In both anime and manga, when Ichigo first meets Renji, Renji expresses surprise over the size of Ichigo's zanpakutou. Ichigo admits he noticed it was large compared to Rukia's but, not having met any other Shinigami until now, he had nothing to compare it to. The anime creates the plot hole because it had [[{{filler}} inserted]] ShipTease scenes in Episodes 8-9 where Ichigo fights another Shinigami over Rukia and therefore gets to see another Shinigami's weapon up close. These scenes do not exist in the manga.
** When the anime covers Chad's backstory, it bizarrely changes the manga story. In the manga, Chad's grandfather lectured him against being a bully so Chad obeyed his grandfather and vowed to never fight for himself. Ichigo realised Chad could fight for others so the two vowed to fight to protect the other; Chad therefore only ever fights to protect others. In the anime, Chad ignores his grandfather until his grandfather is beaten almost to death by Chad's victims. Horrified, Chad vows never to fight again. Since the anime has Chad fighting to protect others, just as the manga set him up to do, Chad's anime behaviour completely contradicts the anime version of his vow.
* In ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'', the group uses Yanagisawa's Copy power to copy Kaito and use his video game skills to win a round against the Game Master. In the anime, the group uses Yusuke (who is otherwise not very good at video games) to win a fighting game, which makes their desperation to win when Kurama comes up seem strange; in the manga, only Yusuke and the non-gamer Hiei were left, but in the anime, they could have utilized Yanagisawa's power.
* In the ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' TV series, during an episode where Jagi terrorizes a village while pretending to be Kenshiro, one of the villagers remarks that Kenshiro was the one who defeated "Devil's Rebirth and the Fang Clan". However, not many people outside Jackal and his gang were even aware of Devil's existence. In the original manga, the villager simply said that Kenshiro defeated Jackal instead. This change was likely done due to the fact that Jackal was an independent villain in the manga, whereas in the TV series he was simply a lackey of Shin.
* ''Anime/CodeGeass'': In the final volume of the manga, the removal of some characters and plotlines led to several {{Out Of Character Moment}}s. For example, Kaguya, who is Zero's biggest fangirl, not to mention absent during the meeting, is essentially the engineer behind the Black Knights' ''coup d'état'' against him and the one who smooths things over after he escapes; in effect, she takes up the roles of Diethard (who isn't in the manga) and Ohgi (whose motivation to betray Zero came from Viletta's excised storyline).
* ''Manga/InuYasha'':
** In a few early episodes of the anime, shikon shards are needed for Kagome and Inuyasha to travel through the well. This was never the case in the manga, and Kagome spends quite a while without any at all but still travels through the well, so it stops being a requirement in the anime without explanation.
** Many plot points center around Kagome and Kikyo looking alike (Kagome being Kikyo's reincarnation). In the anime, nearly ''everything'' about them [[AllegedLookalikes looks different]]---eye shape; hair color, texture, style, and length; skin tone; and even height---so it makes no sense that people would confuse them. They are both teenage girls with long black hair, but that's honestly about it. This was largely due to their resemblance in the manga being certainly there, but also seemingly down to OnlySixFaces.

* ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'': In his fight with Alucard, Luke Valentine is shown to have a strong HealingFactor, surviving after getting shot in the head by Alucard's specialized gun. However he is unable to regenerate his legs. In the manga there was no headshot. He was instead shot in the stomach by the Casull, while his legs were shot off by Jackal. In the OVA, Jackal was the cause of all three wounds. This was rectified in the Blu-ray re-release, where Luke's initial injuries are now caused by the Casull.
* In ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'', [[GenderBender Ranma (as a girl)]] competes with [[WholesomeCrossdresser Tsubasa]] (whose disguise had yet to be revealed) in who can sell more food to the boys at school, but since all of them knew that Ranma wasn't a real girl they didn't buy any from her until she started wearing [[PlayboyBunny a]] [[PaperThinDisguise disguise.]] However, in the anime Ranma's curse wasn't revealed by this point, so the boys bought them ''only'' from the disguised Ranma for no apparent reason.
* ''Manga/SaintSeiya'':
** The first one was when they showed Scorpio Milo killing Shun's Master. Then the manga came out and it was [[spoiler: Pisces Aphrodite]]. A number of {{Ass Pull}}s had to be done to fix the problem of Shun swearing revenge against someone who didn't apply the coup de grace against his teacher.
** The addition of Crystal Saint as Hyoga's master in the anime leaves his master from the manga, Aquarius Camus, as his master's master instead. And yet, later episodes treat Camus as in the manga, as if he had always been Hyoga's direct master, having a deep master/student bond with him. Subverted in one episode, where they actually showed Crystal Saint training both Hyoga and his old training partner Isaac, instead of Camus as in the manga.

** ''[[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Brotherhood]]'' has a pretty noticeable plothole. Roughly about 2/5ths through the manga, all hell breaks loose and sees Alphonse, Mustang's group, Barry the Chopper, and Ling and Lan Fan get caught up in a battle with the Homunculi. Ling and Lan Fan fight Gluttony and Ling manages to cut Gluttony in half. Gluttony immediately heals up from this, which causes Ling and Lan Fan to learn about the Homunculi's regenerative abilities. When Ed returns from Xerxes later on and reveals his plan to capture a Homunculus, Ling and Lan Fan want to get in on the action because of their knowledge of the Homunculi's regeneration since it relates to their own quest to find immortality. In ''Brotherhood'', the two's fight with Gluttony is completely cut, but they still want to join on Ed and Al's plan to capture a Homunculus for the same reasons, making one wonder how they know about the Homunculi and their power to regenerate. This is fixed by the dub, as Ling overhears Ed mentioning that Homonculi are immortal.
** Another example from ''Brotherhood'' happens due to the anime [[CompressedAdaptation condensing the early chapters of the manga]] in order to reach new material that the first anime hadn't adapted. It was shown that, after Ed's first battle with Scar, Lust is tailing him on the same train to Resembool in order to protect him in case Scar returns. Thus when Armstrong calls out to Dr. Marcoh, whom he recognises at one of their pit stops, Lust ends up seeing the Doctor as well explaining how she was able to track him. In the anime there is no indication that Lust in following Edward so it seems as if she just arbitrarily finds the Doctor right after Ed, Al and Armstrong do.

These scenes do not exist in the guards are supposed to have special bullets designed to penetrate her [[PsychicPowers vectors]]. manga.
** When the anime covers Chad's backstory, it bizarrely changes the manga story. In the manga,she grabs Chad's grandfather lectured him against being a HumanShield before any of bully so Chad obeyed his grandfather and vowed to never fight for himself. Ichigo realised Chad could fight for others so the heavily armed guards can get a shot off.
** Thetwo vowed to fight to protect the other; Chad therefore only ever fights to protect others. In the anime, Chad ignores his grandfather until his grandfather is beaten almost to death by Chad's victims. Horrified, Chad vows never to fight again. Since the anime also gave Lucy only four vectors, has Chad fighting to protect others, just as opposed to the seemingly unlimited number she had in the original, while allowing her to do things she did in the manga that would be impossible with only four vectors, such as simultaneously holding a few hundred bullets in mid-air.

Roughly about 2/5ths through the manga, all hell breaks loose and sees Alphonse, Mustang's group, Barry the Chopper, and Ling and Lan Fan get caught up in a battle with the Homunculi. Ling and Lan Fan fight Gluttony and Ling manages to cut Gluttony in half. Gluttony immediately heals up from this, which causes Ling and Lan Fan to learn about the Homunculi's regenerative abilities. When Ed returns from Xerxes later on and reveals his plan to capture a Homunculus, Ling and Lan Fan want to get in on the action because of their knowledge of the Homunculi's regeneration since it relates to their own quest to find immortality. In ''Brotherhood'', the two's fight with Gluttony isbehaviour completely cut, but they still want to join on Ed and Al's plan to capture a Homunculus for the same reasons, making one wonder how they know about the Homunculi and their power to regenerate. This is fixed by the dub, as Ling overhears Ed mentioning that Homonculi are immortal.
** Another example from ''Brotherhood'' happens due tocontradicts the anime [[CompressedAdaptation condensing the early chapters version of the manga]] in order to reach new material that the first anime hadn't adapted. It was shown that, after Ed's first battle with Scar, Lust is tailing him on the same train to Resembool in order to protect him in case Scar returns. Thus when Armstrong calls out to Dr. Marcoh, whom he recognises at one of their pit stops, Lust ends up seeing the Doctor as well explaining how she was able to track him.

* Shinji's reluctance to pilot the Eva in the ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion'' series makes far, far less sense than in the original ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', in which he made sure to ask what would happen if he were gone, and Misato assured him Rei would replace him. In 1.0, she egged him into leaving despite knowing full well the fate of humanity rests on his shoulders, and in 1.11, he realizes only seconds before starting the final decisive battle of the film that other people’s lives depend on him, despite having ''seen'' what an Angel can do.
* The anime of ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' contains so many of these (either by misinterpreting scenes from the visual novel, going for RuleOfCool or because of CompressedAdaptation) that the mystery becomes impossible to solve on one's own:
** The first two are in episode 5 alone, where Battler shoots a bullet at the portrait [[spoiler:even though the gun he picked up is supposed to be unloaded]] and sees gold butterflies (while in the VN Beatrice appears in person) [[spoiler:which are supposed to indicate we are watching a fantasy scene. So the detective ''shouldn't'' see them, the only exception being the end of Episode 2, where Battler had surrendered]].
** Another one is in episode 10, where [[spoiler:Shannon's corpse is found with the stake in her forehead; while in the VN the fact that the stake is ''beside'' her corpse is an important clue that she committed suicide in Episode 2 and 4.]]
** Yet another is how [[spoiler:in the anime, Shannon and Kanon would appear together in front of other people, such as the cousins, in scenes that weren't fantasy. In the visual novel, the fact that Shannon and Kanon never appear together in front of
** And of course, the entire first half of the Episode 4 Tea Party is axed, along with several important bits of information.

In the anime, the plot is altered so his CharacterDevelopment doesn't happen, but the confrontation plays out pretty much the exact same way, which makes his reaction come off as completely overblown and random, considering he and Kaneki have barely got know each other.

However he is unable to regenerate his legs. In the manga Takatsuki already has a gakuran. [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} He]] wore a gakuran frequently there was no headshot. He was instead shot in the stomach by the Casull, while out as a boy. The gakuran is even a hand-me-down from his brother.

* ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'':
** In the anime, the Titan eating Eren's mother is shown intentionally breaking her spine beforehand, which makes little sense for a mindless Titan to do. Though Eren's mother ''was'' struggling against the Titan's hold, it's possible the Titan was at least smart enough to know that crushing her would make her stop squirming.
** Episode 25 shows Levi, getting Eren [[spoiler:out of his Titan form]] in his 3D Maneuver Gear after defeating [[spoiler:Annie]], despite that he had [[spoiler:an injured leg]] back in Episode 22, which was emphasized several times. In the manga, [[spoiler:he wasn't able to participate in capturing Annie because of his injury]].
** In the manga, [[spoiler:titan!Annie was scaling the Wall so quickly that titan!Eren had to throw Mikasa in order to reach her. In the anime, Mikasa was somehow able to reach her all on her own (though it would appear that titan!Annie was climbing the Wall much slower than in the manga).]]
* ''Manga/FairyTail'': While the anime will often make little corrections to Mashima's consistency errors, coming close to the manga has caused it to create a few of its own. The shadowy figure that Jellal is kept from pursuing is changed from a spiky haired silhouette to the hooded girl, for instance. [[spoiler: While that was generally assumed to have been Mashima not knowing how the figure should look until later, a manga chapter that came out at almost exactly the same time as the episode revealed that it actually had been Future Rogue, not Future Lucy.]]
** The anime also had the Trinity Raven guild escape the Tower of Heaven before it collapsed, whereas they are implied to die in it in the manga. Along comes chapter 482 and 483, and it's revealed that [[spoiler: they actually did die in the Tower, since a villain uses a spell that conjures dead people, and Ikaruga is one of them]].
* While ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'' is mostly consistent (helped by two breaks), it suffered this when TheMovie included a flashback scene that strongly implied that Gintoki was taken in later by Shouyo after Takasugi and Katsura, only for it to be established later on that it was the other way around. Unsurprisingly, when the anime finally adapted those chapters, it lampshaded the problem two episodes later were Gintoki answered fanmail and promptly made up a deliberately nonsense explanation.

Changed line(s) 79,103 (click to see context) from:
* The first episode to ''Manga/YourLieInApril'' has Kousei mention that he has brown eyes. This is [[AdaptationDyeJob despite]] him very clearly having blue eyes.
* ''Anime/AceAttorney'': A major part of Phoenix's backstory involves "class trial" when he was accused of stealing lunch money. Phoenix was sick the day the money was stolen and didn't attend PE class, so when he was the only student without an alibi, everyone assumed it was him. The anime-only episode "Turnabout Promise" [[AdaptationExpansion extended the scene]] by showing Phoenix taking the envelope the money was in, and [[NotWhatItLooksLike being seen by a girl from his class]]. However, despite being seemingly caught red-handed, the trial goes the same way it did in the game with Edgeworth claiming they accused him with no evidence. The fact that Phoenix was seen by someone isn't brought up at all.
* In ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs'', Chrono's staff Durandal was created by Gil Graham to fight the Book of Darkness. Due to Graham being AdaptedOut, the movie changed it to [[AncestralWeapon originally belonging to his father]]. All well and good, were it not for the fact that Chrono's father died via exploding spaceship while on duty (meaning he would have had his weapon with him), which makes you wonder how in the hell Lindy got a hold of it.
* ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'' has a small version of this: Gauron's twin assassins mistakenly pronounce Kaname's surname Chidori using the Chinese reading of the characters. This makes sense in the original light novels and the anime adaptation, where they're Chinese; it's less logical in the manga adaptation ''Full Metal Panic! Sigma'', which [[RaceLift makes them]] ambiguously Caucasian {{Gothic Lolita}}s.
* ''Manga/CityHunter'': In few filler episodes of the anime main character Ryo gets on a plane or helipcoter. After in the manga, it is revealed that Ryo's afraid of flying.
* ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'':
** Due to the chapters being adapted out of order, Lucoa and Fafnir checking up on Tohru during the dodgeball chapter loses most of its meaning. In the manga, it happened right after the whole debacle with Tohru's father, but it happened beforehand in the anime.
** Due to the change of how Kanna gets her hands on the chocolate that Tohru made, the anime adaptation of the Valentine's Day chapter leaves out the crucial plot point of how the LovePotion had no effect when consumed by a dragon (in the manga, Kobayashi is unaware of this, and ends up eating some of the chocolate when offered by Kanna because she assumed that if Kanna's eating it without any odd effects, it would be safe for her to eat as well).
* In the anime adaption of the arc from ''Manga/SnowWhiteWithTheRedHair'', in which Zen, Obi, Kiki, Mitsuhide and the Mountain's Lions rescue Shirayuki and Kazuki the pirates base is discovered after Raji chases the pirates in an attempt at giving the unapologetic attempted rapist AdaptationalHeroism. Unfortunately this means that Zen not only allowed Shirayuki to be taken out of his sight to be sold into slavery at an undisclosed location it also means he conscripted Kiki to the same fate. In the manga the entire plan was generated because ''they already knew the location of the pirate's hidden base'' and were forcing them to return there in order to ambush them.
* In the seventh ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners'' movie, when Shiki takes Kokutou home from the hospital, they walk under the blooming CherryBlossoms to emphasize their newfound romantic happiness. This was changed from the original novel, where the scene takes place against the backdrop of appropriately severe early-March weather, and becomes a plot hole when the epilogue rolls around, taking place the day after Kokutou leaves the hospital, and Mifune City is in the throes of heavy snowfall again (which is actually foreshadowed by a weather report in the original novel). While not a major plot hole by any measure, it is obvious that the director of the adaptation has sacrificed internal consistency for the romantic spectacle in this case.
* The light novel of ''LightNovel/{{Gosick}}'' establishes the Grey Wolves are supernaturally unable to leave the Old World and will die of illness if tried. That's the true reason why the last Brian Roscoe dies in the ship and why Victorique's hair turns silver; she only manages to survive the ordeal because she's technically only a half-Grey Wolf. However, in the anime continuity Roscoe is another half-Grey Wolf himself, which means he should have survived with just decolored hair just as Victorique if the rule still applied. The reason why he suddenly dies in the ship, even although he seemed to be only superficially wounded and was receiving medical attention, is never explained, nor is Victorique's hair change. If anything, it's only implied that it might be a case of DeathByDespair and PrematurelyGreyHaired respectively due to all the tragic events.
* ''Anime/SonicX'':
** Eggman has a realization that he was born on Earth, but this ended up [[AbortedArc never being elaborated on]]. It's unknown how Eggman ended up on Sonic's World and why he has no memory of his past on Earth. In ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'', Sonic and his peers [[LionsAndTigersAndHumansOhMy live on Earth amongst humans]].
** The anime follows Shadow's backstory from ''Adventure 2'' to a T but never explains how (or why) humans from Earth created a FunnyAnimal and why this FunnyAnimal just so happens to look like Sonic's kind. In the games this is explained by Funny Animals and humans coexisting.
* ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'':
** Kaguya and Ishigami's first tutoring sessions happened in the span of one week before the second semester final exams in the anime. However, they still kept the "Ishigami plays games right before the exams" gag, despite the fact that [[SternTeacher Kaguya would never allow it while he was under her tutelage]]. This plot hole doesn't exist in the manga, where the tutoring sessions were for a later test.
** Hayasaka is shown looking at a series of photos on a tablet while scolding Kaguya for her lack of progress with Shirogane in episode 16, the last of which is from the moon viewing. While that picture does exist in the manga (having shown up when the Student Council put all their photos into a group album at the end of the Cell Phone arc), it's unclear how she got her hands on it given that Ishigami was presumably the one who took it and it's unlikely he would have shared it on social media for fear of Kaguya's wrath.
* ''Manga/TheQuintessentialQuintuplets'':
** In the manga, the titular identical quintuplets can only be told apart from each other by their hairstyles and manner of dress, resulting in [[TwinSwitch quite a few situations where they impersonate each other]], either [[PlayedForLaughs comedically]] or [[PlayedForDrama seriously]]. While the color spreads make their hair out to be a shade or so lighter or darker than one another, [[AdaptationDyeJob the anime bumps this up to outright different colors]], and further differentiates them through distinct voice actresses. This makes any situation where one of the girls fools someone into believing she is a different one of her sisters look less like cleverness on her behalf and more like a case of the opposite party grabbing the IdiotBall, since to the viewer it's blatantly obvious which of the sisters is which.
** The flashback photo of the quintuplets as children brings up another point of discontinuity--in the manga, it's in black and white, but since the girls are all shown to have the same hair color it's reasonable to assume that they also did in the past. The anime also shows that all the girls as children had the same hair color, but in this case they have different colors as teenagers and the hair color they had as children is shown to be different from any of their current ones. Unless every single one of the quintuplets in the anime is hair dying, it just comes off as a bizarre continuity error.
* In the ''Literature/SoundEuphonium'' novel, the characters speak with Kansai dialects. This dialect is absent in the anime adaptation. This causes some issues, such as Reina and Kumiko's PlatonicDeclarationOfLove coming off as less ironic.
* Several episodes of ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' have aspects that contradict the games. One of the most notable instances of this is the episode "Showdown in Dark City," where Electabuzz and Scyther are revealed to hate the color red. However, Scyther would later receive an evolution, Scizor, with a red body, which would imply it hates its own evolution. Another episode, "Pokemon Shipwreck," has Meowth try to eat a Magikarp, only to be met with hard scales and Misty claiming it's just scales and bones with little edible material. This makes little sense in the context of Pokedex entries mentioning Pidgeot hunting Magikarp, and comes off as plot convenience more than anything else.
* The ''WebComic/TowerOfGod'' anime has some mild ones where characters end up behaving implausibly.
** Baam's DieOrFly moment at the end of the Crown Game is much more dramatic in the anime, and lots of people see him explode into a huge column of Shinsu... so it's incongruous that none of the other Regulars afterwards treat him as the guy who did something totally amazing. Even when Hoh is talking about how weirdly talented he is, he never brings that one up. In the original, the Shinsu just slashes at his opponent, and it makes sense that only Lero Ro understands something very out of the ordinary has occurred.
** In the Hide and Seek test, it's shown that Quant has enough SuperSpeed to just whoosh past any Regular (even Anaak) before they notice, and he can also freeze someone with Shinsu while doing so. So it's kind of weird he doesn't do anything about Hoh holding Rachel hostage, even when Hoh is distracted, especially when Quant is really angry about it at first but then just decides to leave. The English dub (which is often missing the point slightly) even has Quant bring up the possibility of freezing Hoh before turning to leave without doing it. In the original, Hoh and Rachel are within the safe zone Quant can't enter because he's their opponent in the game, but that doesn't exist in the anime. Also, Quant leaves in order to deal with two other Regulars who have also taken their teammates hostage, which also doesn't happen in the anime because Quant beats those two up after the first time they betray a teammate.[[note]]Yeah, it's not a very good team, to say the least. This isn't even listing all the betrayals that happen.[[/note]]

Unless every single one of the quintuplets in the anime is hair dying, it just comes off as a bizarre continuity error.
* In the ''Literature/SoundEuphonium'' novel, the characters speak with Kansai dialects. This dialect is absent in the anime adaptation. This causes some issues, such as Reina and Kumiko's PlatonicDeclarationOfLove coming off as less ironic.
* Several episodes of ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' have aspects that contradict the games. One of the most notable instances of this is the episode "Showdown in Dark City," where Electabuzz and Scyther are revealed to hate the color red. However, Scyther would later receive an evolution, Scizor, with a red body, which would imply it hates its own evolution. Another episode, "Pokemon Shipwreck," has Meowth try to eat a Magikarp, only to be met with hard scales and Misty claiming it's just scales and bones with little edible material. This makes little sense in the context of Pokedex entries mentioning Pidgeot hunting Magikarp, and comes off as plot convenience more than anything else.
* The ''WebComic/TowerOfGod'' anime has some mild ones where characters end up behaving implausibly.
** Baam's DieOrFly moment at the end of the Crown Game is much more dramatic in the anime, and lots of people see him explode into a huge column of Shinsu... so it's incongruous that none of the other Regulars afterwards treat him as the guy who did something totally amazing. Even when Hoh is talking about how weirdly talented he is, he never brings that one up. In the original, the Shinsu just slashes at his opponent, and it makes sense that only Lero Ro understands something very out of the ordinary has occurred.
** In the Hide and Seek test, it's shown that Quant has enough SuperSpeed to just whoosh past any Regular (even Anaak) before they notice, and he can also freeze someone with Shinsu while doing so. So it's kind of weird he doesn't do anything about Hoh holding Rachel hostage, even when Hoh is distracted, especially when Quant is really angry about it at first but then just decides to leave. The English dub (which is often missing the point slightly) even has Quant bring up the possibility of freezing Hoh before turning to leave without doing it. In the original, Hoh and Rachel are within the safe zone Quant can't enter because he's their opponent in the game, but that doesn't exist in the anime. Also, Quant leaves in order to deal with two other Regulars who have also taken their teammates hostage, which also doesn't happen in the anime because Quant beats those two up after the first time they betray a teammate.[[note]]Yeah, it's not a very good team, to say the least. This isn't even listing all the betrayals that happen.[[/note]]
to:
* ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'': In the VisualNovel, Kud's reluctance to return to Tevua stemmed partially from her relationship with Riki and partially from her fear of the dangerous conditions there, and only lasted for a couple of scenes. The first episode anime drew this out, instead using this plot point to ''Manga/YourLieInApril'' has Kousei mention that he has brown eyes. This is [[AdaptationDyeJob despite]] him very clearly having blue eyes.
* ''Anime/AceAttorney'': A major part of Phoenix'sshow Kud's backstory involves "class trial" when he and how she felt unable to become a cosmonaut like her mother and was accused ashamed of stealing lunch money. Phoenix was sick the day the money was stolen herself, and didn't attend PE class, so when he was the only student without an alibi, everyone assumed it was him. The anime-only episode "Turnabout Promise" [[AdaptationExpansion extended the scene]] by showing Phoenix taking the envelope the money was in, and [[NotWhatItLooksLike being seen by a girl from his class]]. However, despite being seemingly caught red-handed, the trial goes the same way it did in the game with Edgeworth claiming they accused him that she came to Japan to 'escape' from this. Nicely dramatic...but then why does Kud speak fluent Japanese? In the visual novel, it's made clear that Kud was always meant to go to high school in Japan and so had been taught Japanese as her dual first language with no evidence. Russian. But in the anime, her moving to Japan was treated as a sudden whim outside of her mother's knowledge.
* Thefact that Phoenix was seen by someone isn't brought up at all.
* In ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs'', Chrono's staff Durandal was created by Gil GrahamSickEpisode from ''Manga/MonthlyGirlsNozakiKun'' revolves around Sakura, Hori, and Waka having to fight guess how Mamiko, the Book of Darkness. Due to Graham being AdaptedOut, the movie changed it to [[AncestralWeapon originally belonging to heroine in Nozaki's manga, would act after Nozaki gets sick and is unable finish his father]]. All well and good, were it not current chapter. They never even ''think'' to call their friend Mikoshiba for help, despite the fact that Chrono's father died via exploding spaceship while on duty (meaning Mamiko's personality is explicitly said to be based off his, meaning he would likely have had his weapon with him), which makes you wonder some insight into how in the hell Lindy got a hold of it.
* ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'' has a small version of this: Gauron's twin assassins mistakenly pronounce Kaname's surname Chidori using the Chinese reading of the characters. This makes sense in the original light novels and the anime adaptation, where they're Chinese; it's less logical in theto write her. The manga adaptation ''Full Metal Panic! Sigma'', which [[RaceLift makes them]] ambiguously Caucasian {{Gothic Lolita}}s.
* ''Manga/CityHunter'': In few filler episodes of the anime main character Ryo gets on a plane or helipcoter. After in the manga, it is revealed that Ryo's afraid of flying.
* ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'':
** Due to the chapters beingchapter this episode was adapted out of order, Lucoa and Fafnir checking up on Tohru during the dodgeball chapter loses most of its meaning. In the manga, it happened right after the whole debacle with Tohru's father, but it happened beforehand in the anime.
** Due to the change of how Kanna gets her hands on the chocolatefrom contained a line stating that Tohru made, the anime adaptation of the Valentine's Day chapter leaves out the crucial plot point of how the LovePotion had no effect when consumed by a dragon (in the manga, Kobayashi is unaware of this, and ends up eating some of the chocolate when offered by Kanna because she assumed that if Kanna's eating it without any odd effects, it they would be safe for her to eat as well).
* In the anime adaption of the arc from ''Manga/SnowWhiteWithTheRedHair'', in which Zen, Obi, Kiki, Mitsuhide and the Mountain's Lions rescue Shirayuki and Kazuki the pirates base is discovered after Raji chases the pirates in an attempt at giving the unapologetic attempted rapist AdaptationalHeroism. Unfortunately this means that Zen not only allowed Shirayuki to be taken out of his sight to be sold into slavery at an undisclosed location it also means he conscripted Kiki to the same fate. In the manga the entire plan was generated because ''they already knew the location of the pirate's hidden base'' and were forcing them to return there in order to ambush them.
* In the seventh ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners'' movie, when Shiki takes Kokutou home from the hospital, they walk under the blooming CherryBlossoms to emphasize their newfound romantic happiness. This was changed from the original novel, where the scene takes place against the backdrop of appropriately severe early-March weather, and becomes a plot hole when the epilogue rolls around, taking place the day after Kokutou leaves the hospital, and Mifune City is in the throes of heavy snowfall again (which is actually foreshadowed by a weather report in the original novel). While not a major plot hole by any measure, it is obvious that the director of the adaptation has sacrificed internal consistency for the romantic spectacle in this case.
* The light novel of ''LightNovel/{{Gosick}}'' establishes the Grey Wolves are supernaturallyunable to leave the Old World and will die of illness if tried. That's the true reach Mikoshiba since he was either buying or playing a newly-released DatingSim, but for some reason why the last Brian Roscoe dies in the ship and why Victorique's hair turns silver; she only manages to survive the ordeal because she's technically only a half-Grey Wolf. However, in the anime continuity Roscoe is another half-Grey Wolf himself, which means he should have survived with just decolored hair just as Victorique if the rule still applied. The reason why he suddenly dies in the ship, even although he seemed to be only superficially wounded and was receiving medical attention, is never explained, nor is Victorique's hair change. If anything, it's only implied that it might be a case of DeathByDespair and PrematurelyGreyHaired respectively due to all the tragic events.
* ''Anime/SonicX'':
** Eggman has a realization that he was born on Earth, butthis ended up [[AbortedArc never being elaborated on]]. It's unknown how Eggman ended up on Sonic's World and why he has no memory of his past on Earth. In ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'', Sonic and his peers [[LionsAndTigersAndHumansOhMy live on Earth amongst humans]].scene was omitted from the anime.
* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'':
**The Naruto claims to have only read 10 pages of Jiraiya's latest novel, ''Make Out Tactics'', in the anime follows Shadow's backstory as an extra joke that he was lying when he distracted Kakashi by pretending to spoil the ending. However, later on [[spoiler:when he's trying to decode a message Jiraiya left behind while dying]], it's revealed that Jiraiya asked him to proofread his books, and he at least obliged to the degree he knows Jiraiya's handwriting [[spoiler:well enough to notice that he disguised a "ta" katakana (ã‚¿) as a 9]]. Perhaps he lied about lying he'd read the book, just to annoy Kakashi.
** A {{filler}} episode expanded Suigetsu and Sasuke's trip to get Zabuza's sword from''Adventure 2'' to the Land of Wave, and it's mentioned that Inari and Tazuna would be working on a T but never explains job in the Cloud Village for the next year. However, in the manga they actually ended up making guest reappearances in a job in ''the Leaf Village'' ([[spoiler:helping rebuild after the Pain invasion]]) what was at most a couple of months later.
** A smaller one is how(or why) humans from Earth created a FunnyAnimal the anime gives the Fireball Jutsu to various characters that aren't members of the Uchiha clan or who are officially unable to perform Fire techniques.
** During Itachi's fight against Naruto andwhy this FunnyAnimal just so happens to look like Sonic's kind. In Kakashi in Shippuden, it is stated that Itachi's Sharingan is not affected by the games this is explained by Funny Animals and humans coexisting.
* ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'':
** Kaguya and Ishigami's first tutoring sessionsHidden Mist technique. This contradicts what happened in the span Land of Waves arc, where Kakashi's Sharingan was rendered useless against Zabuza's technique.
** {{Omake}} should probably not be considered canon in general, but an early ''Shippuden'' omake has a ''really'' noticeable oneweek before the second semester final exams where Deidara casually asks Kisame what Itachi is like as if he's never met him, even though Deidara was (forcibly) recruited into Akatsuki by Itachi in the anime. However, they still kept first place and Deidara had spent the "Ishigami plays games right before the exams" gag, despite the fact that [[SternTeacher Kaguya would never allow it while he was under her tutelage]]. This plot hole doesn't exist last several years trying to find a way to ''kill'' Itachi.
** One {{Filler}} arc had Hinata learn a unique, powerful technique featuring myriad pinpoint-precision chakra laser beams. Later in the manga,where a major villain is able to {{curb stomp|Battle}} her using his powerful gravity blast attack--she spends the tutoring sessions were for a later test.
** Hayasaka is shown lookingfight repeatedly charging at a series of photos on a tablet him while scolding Kaguya for her lack of progress with Shirogane in episode 16, the last of trying to land a physical hit, which is from ''hopeless''. The chakra lasers would have obviously been a much better bet.
** The above-mentioned arc also has a glaring issue with [[FillerVillain themoon viewing. While that picture does exist villains]] being stated as grandchildren of the First Tsuchikage, '''WAY''' before he actually debuts in the manga (having shown up when the Student Council put all their photos into a group album at the end of the Cell Phone arc), it's unclear how she got her hands on it given that Ishigami was presumably the one who took it and it's unlikely he would have shared it on social media for fear of Kaguya's wrath.
* ''Manga/TheQuintessentialQuintuplets'':
** In the manga, the titular identical quintuplets can only be told apart from each other by their hairstyles and manner of dress, resultingin [[TwinSwitch quite a few situations where they impersonate each other]], either [[PlayedForLaughs comedically]] or [[PlayedForDrama seriously]]. While the color spreads make their hair out to be a shade or so lighter or darker than one another, [[AdaptationDyeJob the anime bumps this up to outright different colors]], and further differentiates them through distinct voice actresses. This makes any situation where one of the girls fools someone into believing she is a different one of her sisters look less like cleverness on her behalf and more like a case of the opposite party grabbing the IdiotBall, since to the viewer it's blatantly obvious which of the sisters is which.
** Theflashback photo of the quintuplets as children brings up another point of discontinuity--in the manga, it's in black Third and white, but since the girls are all shown to have the same hair color it's reasonable to assume that they also did in the past. The anime also shows that all the girls as children had the same hair color, but in this case they have different colors as teenagers and the hair color they had as children is shown to be different from any of their current ones. Unless every single one of Tsuchikage's. Why is this an issue? It is because the quintuplets in Third is the anime is hair dying, it just comes off as a bizarre First's grandchild in that continuity error.
* Inand the ''Literature/SoundEuphonium'' novel, latter is already a 79-year-old man by the characters speak with Kansai dialects. This dialect is absent in the anime adaptation. This causes some issues, such as Reina and Kumiko's PlatonicDeclarationOfLove coming off as less ironic.
* Several episodes of ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' have aspects that contradict the games. One of the most notable instances of this is the episode "Showdown in Dark City," where Electabuzz and Scyther are revealed to hate the color red. However, Scyther would later receive an evolution, Scizor, with a red body, which would imply it hates its own evolution. Another episode, "Pokemon Shipwreck," has Meowth try to eat a Magikarp, only to be met with hard scales and Misty claiming it's just scales and bones with little edible material. This makes little sense in the context of Pokedex entries mentioning Pidgeot hunting Magikarp, and comes off as plot convenience more than anything else.
* The ''WebComic/TowerOfGod'' anime has some mild ones where characters end up behaving implausibly.
** Baam's DieOrFly moment at the end of the Crown Game is much more dramatic in the anime, and lots of people see him explode into a huge column of Shinsu... so it's incongruous that none of the other Regulars afterwards treat him as the guy who did something totally amazing. Even when Hoh is talking about how weirdly talentedtime he is, he never brings that one up. In the original, the Shinsu just slashes at his opponent, and it makes sense that only Lero Ro understands something very out of the ordinary has occurred.
** In the Hide and Seek test, it's shown that Quant has enough SuperSpeed to just whoosh past any Regular (even Anaak) before they notice, and he can also freeze someone with Shinsu while doing so. So it's kind of weird he doesn't do anything about Hoh holding Rachel hostage, even when Hoh is distracted, especially when Quant is really angry about it atfirst but then just decides to leave. The English dub (which is often missing appears whereas the point slightly) even has Quant bring up grandchildren from the possibility of freezing Hoh before turning to leave without doing it. In the original, Hoh and Rachel are within the safe zone Quant filler can't enter because he's their opponent be any older than 30-something at best. The same arc also says that the original Tsuchikage was an insect user like them but nothing the actual man shows in the game, but that doesn't exist flashback in the anime. Also, Quant leaves in order to deal with two other Regulars who have also taken their teammates hostage, which also doesn't happen in either media remotely hints at such.
** In the animebecause Quant beats those two up after [[spoiler:Obito]] is able to suck Fu into his PocketDimension without touching him, while in the first time they betray a teammate.[[note]]Yeah, it's manga it was not a very good team, clear if he touched him or not and it was later ''explicitly stated'' to say require physical contact, which was exactly why [[spoiler:Minato was able to beat him]].
* Shinji's reluctance to pilot theleast. This isn't even listing all Eva in the betrayals ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion'' series makes far, far less sense than in the original ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', in which he made sure to ask what would happen if he were gone, and Misato assured him Rei would replace him. In 1.0, she egged him into leaving despite knowing full well the fate of humanity rests on his shoulders, and in 1.11, he realizes only seconds before starting the final decisive battle of the film that happen.[[/note]]other people’s lives depend on him, despite having ''seen'' what an Angel can do.

In the visual novel, the fact that Shannon and Kanon never appear together in front of the other members of the family outside fantasy scenes is meant to be foreshadowing for how they're actually one and the same]].
** And of course, the entire first half of the Episode 4 Tea Party is axed, along with several important bits of information.
* ''VisualNovel/VirtuesLastReward'' has a big plot twist ([[spoiler:Sigma, the main character, [[TomatoInTheMirror is actually Zero Sr., an old man, rather than a 22-year old college student]]]]) that was hidden right underneath the audience's noses [[spoiler:thanks to the first-person perspective acting like TheAllConcealingI, and Sigma's presumed appearance only being shown in a flashback]]. An OVA was made to promote the game, which has [[spoiler:Sigma looking the way you're led to assume he looks]] since the method used to hide the spoiler cannot be used convincingly in anime.
* The first episode of ''Manga/WanderingSon'' has Yuki buying Takatsuki a gakuran. In the manga Takatsuki already has a gakuran. [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} He]] wore a gakuran frequently while out as a boy. The gakuran is even a hand-me-down from his brother.
* In ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'', the group uses Yanagisawa's Copy power to copy Kaito and use his video game skills to win a round against the Game Master. In the anime, the group uses Yusuke (who is otherwise not very good at video games) to win a fighting game, which makes their desperation to win when Kurama comes up seem strange; in the manga, only Yusuke and the non-gamer Hiei were left, but in the anime, they could have utilized Yanagisawa's power.
* The first episode to ''Manga/YourLieInApril'' has Kousei mention that he has brown eyes. This is [[AdaptationDyeJob despite]] him very clearly having blue eyes.
* ''Anime/AceAttorney'': A major part of Phoenix's backstory involves "class trial" when he was accused of stealing lunch money. Phoenix was sick the day the money was stolen and didn't attend PE class, so when he was the only student without an alibi, everyone assumed it was him. The anime-only episode "Turnabout Promise" [[AdaptationExpansion extended the scene]] by showing Phoenix taking the envelope the money was in, and [[NotWhatItLooksLike being seen by a girl from his class]]. However, despite being seemingly caught red-handed, the trial goes the same way it did in the game with Edgeworth claiming they accused him with no evidence. The fact that Phoenix was seen by someone isn't brought up at all.
* In ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs'', Chrono's staff Durandal was created by Gil Graham to fight the Book of Darkness. Due to Graham being AdaptedOut, the movie changed it to [[AncestralWeapon originally belonging to his father]]. All well and good, were it not for the fact that Chrono's father died via exploding spaceship while on duty (meaning he would have had his weapon with him), which makes you wonder how in the hell Lindy got a hold of it.
* ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'' has a small version of this: Gauron's twin assassins mistakenly pronounce Kaname's surname Chidori using the Chinese reading of the characters. This makes sense in the original light novels and the anime adaptation, where they're Chinese; it's less logical in the manga adaptation ''Full Metal Panic! Sigma'', which [[RaceLift makes them]] ambiguously Caucasian {{Gothic Lolita}}s.
* ''Manga/CityHunter'': In few filler episodes of the anime main character Ryo gets on a plane or helipcoter. After in the manga, it is revealed that Ryo's afraid of flying.
* ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'':
** Due to the chapters being adapted out of order, Lucoa and Fafnir checking up on Tohru during the dodgeball chapter loses most of its meaning. In the manga, it happened right after the whole debacle with Tohru's father, but it happened beforehand in the anime.
** Due to the change of how Kanna gets her hands on the chocolate that Tohru made, the anime adaptation of the Valentine's Day chapter leaves out the crucial plot point of how the LovePotion had no effect when consumed by a dragon (in the manga, Kobayashi is unaware of this, and ends up eating some of the chocolate when offered by Kanna because she assumed that if Kanna's eating it without any odd effects, it would be safe for her to eat as well).
* In the anime adaption of the arc from ''Manga/SnowWhiteWithTheRedHair'', in which Zen, Obi, Kiki, Mitsuhide and the Mountain's Lions rescue Shirayuki and Kazuki the pirates base is discovered after Raji chases the pirates in an attempt at giving the unapologetic attempted rapist AdaptationalHeroism. Unfortunately this means that Zen not only allowed Shirayuki to be taken out of his sight to be sold into slavery at an undisclosed location it also means he conscripted Kiki to the same fate. In the manga the entire plan was generated because ''they already knew the location of the pirate's hidden base'' and were forcing them to return there in order to ambush them.
* In the seventh ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners'' movie, when Shiki takes Kokutou home from the hospital, they walk under the blooming CherryBlossoms to emphasize their newfound romantic happiness. This was changed from the original novel, where the scene takes place against the backdrop of appropriately severe early-March weather, and becomes a plot hole when the epilogue rolls around, taking place the day after Kokutou leaves the hospital, and Mifune City is in the throes of heavy snowfall again (which is actually foreshadowed by a weather report in the original novel). While not a major plot hole by any measure, it is obvious that the director of the adaptation has sacrificed internal consistency for the romantic spectacle in this case.
* The light novel of ''LightNovel/{{Gosick}}'' establishes the Grey Wolves are supernaturally unable to leave the Old World and will die of illness if tried. That's the true reason why the last Brian Roscoe dies in the ship and why Victorique's hair turns silver; she only manages to survive the ordeal because she's technically only a half-Grey Wolf. However, in the anime continuity Roscoe is another half-Grey Wolf himself, which means he should have survived with just decolored hair just as Victorique if the rule still applied. The reason why he suddenly dies in the ship, even although he seemed to be only superficially wounded and was receiving medical attention, is never explained, nor is Victorique's hair change. If anything, it's only implied that it might be a case of DeathByDespair and PrematurelyGreyHaired respectively due to all the tragic events.
* ''Anime/SonicX'':
** Eggman has a realization that he was born on Earth, but this ended up [[AbortedArc never being elaborated on]]. It's unknown how Eggman ended up on Sonic's World and why he has no memory of his past on Earth. In ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'', Sonic and his peers [[LionsAndTigersAndHumansOhMy live on Earth amongst humans]].
** The anime follows Shadow's backstory from ''Adventure 2'' to a T but never explains how (or why) humans from Earth created a FunnyAnimal and why this FunnyAnimal just so happens to look like Sonic's kind. In the games this is explained by Funny Animals and humans coexisting.
* ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'':
** Kaguya and Ishigami's first tutoring sessions happened in the span of one week before the second semester final exams in the anime. However, they still kept the "Ishigami plays games right before the exams" gag, despite the fact that [[SternTeacher Kaguya would never allow it while he was under her tutelage]]. This plot hole doesn't exist in the manga, where the tutoring sessions were for a later test.
** Hayasaka is shown looking at a series of photos on a tablet while scolding Kaguya for her lack of progress with Shirogane in episode 16, the last of which is from the moon viewing. While that picture does exist in the manga (having shown up when the Student Council put all their photos into a group album at the end of the Cell Phone arc), it's unclear how she got her hands on it given that Ishigami was presumably the one who took it and it's unlikely he would have shared it on social media for fear of Kaguya's wrath.
* ''Manga/TheQuintessentialQuintuplets'':
** In the manga, the titular identical quintuplets can only be told apart from each other by their hairstyles and manner of dress, resulting in [[TwinSwitch quite a few situations where they impersonate each other]], either [[PlayedForLaughs comedically]] or [[PlayedForDrama seriously]]. While the color spreads make their hair out to be a shade or so lighter or darker than one another, [[AdaptationDyeJob the anime bumps this up to outright different colors]], and further differentiates them through distinct voice actresses. This makes any situation where one of the girls fools someone into believing she is a different one of her sisters look less like cleverness on her behalf and more like a case of the opposite party grabbing the IdiotBall, since to the viewer it's blatantly obvious which of the sisters is which.
** The flashback photo of the quintuplets as children brings up another point of discontinuity--in the manga, it's in black and white, but since the girls are all shown to have the same hair color it's reasonable to assume that they also did in the past. The anime also shows that all the girls as children had the same hair color, but in this case they have different colors as teenagers and the hair color they had as children is shown to be different from any of their current ones. Unless every single one of the quintuplets in the anime is hair dying, it just comes off as a bizarre continuity error.
* In the ''Literature/SoundEuphonium'' novel, the characters speak with Kansai dialects. This dialect is absent in the anime adaptation. This causes some issues, such as Reina and Kumiko's PlatonicDeclarationOfLove coming off as less ironic.
* Several episodes of ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' have aspects that contradict the games. One of the most notable instances of this is the episode "Showdown in Dark City," where Electabuzz and Scyther are revealed to hate the color red. However, Scyther would later receive an evolution, Scizor, with a red body, which would imply it hates its own evolution. Another episode, "Pokemon Shipwreck," has Meowth try to eat a Magikarp, only to be met with hard scales and Misty claiming it's just scales and bones with little edible material. This makes little sense in the context of Pokedex entries mentioning Pidgeot hunting Magikarp, and comes off as plot convenience more than anything else.
* The ''WebComic/TowerOfGod'' anime has some mild ones where characters end up behaving implausibly.
** Baam's DieOrFly moment at the end of the Crown Game is much more dramatic in the anime, and lots of people see him explode into a huge column of Shinsu... so it's incongruous that none of the other Regulars afterwards treat him as the guy who did something totally amazing. Even when Hoh is talking about how weirdly talented he is, he never brings that one up. In the original, the Shinsu just slashes at his opponent, and it makes sense that only Lero Ro understands something very out of the ordinary has occurred.
** In the Hide and Seek test, it's shown that Quant has enough SuperSpeed to just whoosh past any Regular (even Anaak) before they notice, and he can also freeze someone with Shinsu while doing so. So it's kind of weird he doesn't do anything about Hoh holding Rachel hostage, even when Hoh is distracted, especially when Quant is really angry about it at first but then just decides to leave. The English dub (which is often missing the point slightly) even has Quant bring up the possibility of freezing Hoh before turning to leave without doing it. In the original, Hoh and Rachel are within the safe zone Quant can't enter because he's their opponent in the game, but that doesn't exist in the anime. Also, Quant leaves in order to deal with two other Regulars who have also taken their teammates hostage, which also doesn't happen in the anime because Quant beats those two up after the first time they betray a teammate.[[note]]Yeah, it's not a very good team, to say the least. This isn't even listing all the betrayals that happen.[[/note]]
** The first two are in episode 5 alone, where Battler shoots a bullet at the portrait [[spoiler:even though the gun he picked up is supposed to be unloaded]] and sees gold butterflies (while in the VN Beatrice appears in person) [[spoiler:which are supposed to indicate we are watching a fantasy scene. So the detective ''shouldn't'' see them, the only exception being the end of Episode 2, where Battler had surrendered]].
** Another one is in episode 10, where [[spoiler:Shannon's corpse is found with the stake in her forehead; while in the VN the fact that the stake is ''beside'' her corpse is an important clue that she committed suicide in Episode 2 and 4.]]
** Yet another is how [[spoiler:in the anime, Shannon and Kanon would appear together in front of other people, such as the cousins, in scenes that weren't fantasy. In the visual novel, the fact that Shannon and Kanon never appear together in front of the other members of the family outside fantasy scenes is meant to be foreshadowing for how they're actually one and the same]].
** And of course, the entire first half of the Episode 4 Tea Party is axed, along with several important bits of information.
* ''VisualNovel/VirtuesLastReward'' has a big plot twist ([[spoiler:Sigma, the main character, [[TomatoInTheMirror is actually Zero Sr., an old man, rather than a 22-year old college student]]]]) that was hidden right underneath the audience's noses [[spoiler:thanks to the first-person perspective acting like TheAllConcealingI, and Sigma's presumed appearance only being shown in a flashback]].

** Puck and Guts's relationship makes far less sense in the anime, due to the anime jumping pretty much directly from their first meeting in the Black Swordsman arc to the start of the Conviction arc. In the manga, they'd been traveling together for an indeterminate time (likely a few months) by the Conviction arc, and it was established that Puck has healing powers, which gave Guts incentive to keep the little bugger around, while Guts often showed PetTheDog moments that made it clear why Puck had some kind of loyalty to him. In the anime, they've known each other for less than a day, Guts has spent the entire time acting like a violent asshole and insulting Puck (he's technically responsible for Puck being freed, but that was only due to him beating up a bunch of guys in a bar [[AdaptationExplanationExtricationfor no clear reason]]), and Guts doesn't know that Puck can heal people. This makes it very baffling that Puck keeps following this guy around into dangerous territory, while Guts never makes good on his threats to swat the annoying bug.

In the anime, they've known each other for less than a day, Guts has spent the entire time acting like a violent asshole and insulting Puck (he's technically responsible for Puck being freed, but that was only due to him beating up a bunch of guys in a bar [[AdaptationExplanationExtricationfor [[AdaptationExplanationExtrication for no clear reason]]), and Guts doesn't know that Puck can heal people. This makes it very baffling that Puck keeps following this guy around into dangerous territory, while Guts never makes good on his threats to swat the annoying bug.

* ''Anime/Berserk2016'''s main plot kicks off with Guts being subdued and captured by the Holy Iron Chain Knights, who don't seem to inflict that much damage to him and are noted in-story to be mostly incompetent LordErrorProne types (with the exception of Azan, who puts up a pretty good fight but doesn't do much lasting damage). This is rather jarring, as the rest of the series depicts him as a demon-slaying OneManArmy with CharlesAtlasSuperpower who would treat the Knights as little more than a speedbump. The difference was that in the manga, Guts's encounter with them happened ''immediately after'' his fight with the powerful Apostle Rosine in the Lost Children arc, which was a knock-down drag-out brawl that involved him being ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice, getting set on fire, and eventually falling several stories, and to add insult to injury, when the fight was done, he got shot with a crossbow by a supporting player in the arc. So [[WorfHadTheFlu not only was he basically on his last legs]], but it meant that CombatPragmatist Serpico was able to disable him by targeting his wounds with a hunk of wood. The anime cut out the Lost Children arc entirely in favor of having Guts instead fight the Knights after his fight with a possessed tree; in both versions, the tree and its minions are treated as not much of a threat, and though it does injure Guts, it's nothing even resembling the beating he endured from Rosine. To anime viewers, it seems like Guts made an utterly embarrassing showing--especially since now Serpico's thrown hunk of wood is targeting a wound that ''isn't there.''

* ''VisualNovel/VirtuesLastReward'' has a big plot twist ([[spoiler:Sigma, the main character, [[TomatoInTheMirror is actually Zero Sr., an old man, rather than a 22-year old college student]]]]) that was hidden right underneath the audience's noses [[spoiler:thanks to the first-person perspective acting like TheAllConcealingI, and Sigma's presumed appearance only being shown in a flashback]]. An OVA was made to promote the game, which has [[spoiler:Sigma looking the way you're led to assume he looks]] since the method used to hide the spoiler cannot be used convincingly in anime.

This was changed from the original novel, where the scene takes place against the backdrop of appropriately severe early-March weather, and becomes a plot hole when the epilogue rolls around, taking place the day after Kokutou leaves the hospital, and Mifune City is in the throes of heavy snowfall again (which is actually foreshadowed by a weather report in the original novel). While not a major plot hole by any measure, it is obvious that the director of the adaptation has sacrificed internal consistency for the romantic spectacle in this case.
