Odd Taxi

It's definitely unique anime with captivating characters. You definitely would like it if you're into mystery like myself.

It's okay to skip openings in anime, but not this anime.

There were many unique anime this season, and this was for sure one of them. A seemingly simple anime where everyone were animals with many different stories. However, what made this anime one of the best show this season was how these stories all interconnected, despite how unrelated they seemed at first glance. There were an incredible amount of details in each episode that had significant meanings later.

Watching this anime weekly might be a mistake because you might forget the details, which I did. Because of this, I decided to rewatch the whole thing before the last episode, and I'm glad that I did. As I realized that these stories were related, I became increasingly invested and impatient to see how everything would resolve. It was a big mystery that slowly built up.

The characters were very interesting. There were three episodes that contained a monologue background story from each of the three characters. They were sad, shocking, and dangerously realistic. Our main character was the walrus taxi driver, but there were good stories to many other characters. Also, I had to mention my boy Yano, who was by far one of the dopest character. He rhymed when he talked, and every time he appeared, his lyrical conversation that sounded like rapping almost always followed a beat that was played. He stole every scene he was in.

As I was saying, the stories were linked together and detailed. However, it was so detailed that even the opening gave clues about the mysteries in the show. Also, it was great that many who watched this anime formed theories that mostly turned out to be true. One of them was regarding the animation of the story.

As for problems, I felt one particular story about two comedians didn't really relate to the other stories. Also, I had a problem with the last episode regarding what happened to our taxi driver after the major event.

The show was at heart a slice of life. It reflected some of the people living today. I believe that some watching will be able to relate to the characters.

One last thing I wanted to touch on was the last reveal in the ending episode. I honestly did not see that coming, and the final shot was quite haunting.

Overall, an excellent anime that managed to have such a tight script and amazing mysteries. It is very underrated, and should have more attention. 9.5/10.

I just can't express how good Odd Taxi is. It is something fresh and unique and probably deserves to be in a category of its own. Going into odd taxi, I underestimated the show because I felt like its animation style was childish but after watching all 13 episodes, this is one of the best anime of 2021. The whole show revolves around mystery but not in the way of a detective series type. I'm impressed by how odd taxi mimics humanity and potrays humans being humans best. Every little detail is important. As if that were not enough, the climax was full of one plot twist and another. After the ending, you can't help but want more. Over all an exceptional series.

Odd Taxi is such an unique story that it will hook you up instantly. The Characters are too good and will teach you something about life for sure. The storyline is too unique. The animation is so different and not your basic anime artwork. It's different and it doesn't even feel like an anime. A must watch to experience a great story and the ending. It's too good. Also the opening and ending songs are fire. Give it a go. You won't be disappointed.

Brilliant. Nothing more or less to say. If tarentino made an anime.
