Oddtaxi Anime

IMDB - 8.4/10 HMTR - 90/100 Episodes - 13 Odd Taxi: A Masterpiece Not to Be Judged by Its Cover

If there ever was an anime that embodied the phrase "Don't judge a book by its cover," it would be Odd Taxi. At first glance, no one would guess that this show, featuring an anthropomorphic taxi driver, could unfold into a Tarantino-style mystery. To sell you on this without spoiling much, this is a story about various characters living their lives, dealing with their problems, and navigating whatever situations they encounter. These seemingly unrelated narratives build up to a great climax that is definitely worth the ride.

Released in 2021 and spanning just 13 episodes, Odd Taxi is a perfect evening binge for many, especially fans of mystery. After reading this, if you wonder why the characters are animals, I will simply say that some things are better left a secret—one that will reveal itself by the end of the anime.

This show is an incredible achievement in storytelling, blending an interesting world with fascinating characters and an ever-building intrigue that keeps you hooked episode after episode. Remarkably, not a single thread is left loose by the end. It might take a little while for this anime to click for you, but even if you have limited patience, I urge you to sacrifice some for this experience—you won’t regret it.
