Synopsis

Eccentric and blunt, the walrus Hiroshi Odokawa lives a relatively normal life. He drives a taxi for a living, and there he meets several unique individuals: the jobless Taichi Kabasawa who is dead-set on going viral, the mysterious nurse Miho Shirakawa, the struggling comedic duo "Homo Sapiens," and Dobu, a well-known delinquent.

But Odokawa's simple way of life is about to be turned upside down. The case of a missing girl the police have been tracking leads back to him, and now both the yakuza and a duo of corrupt cops are on his tail.

7.25/10 ~ Amazing conclusion... but thats about it

Odd taxi was a bit of an odd show (pun intended), poorly animated which I think was a stylistic choice tbh, sound track was barely there, good English VA which is just standard in 2021, The choice of animals at first just seemed very odd, all the character relations and plot was glued together with convince. Honestly the first 4 or so episodes were pretty fucking boring and I turned if off, but I had several recommendations to stick through it because it had a glorious end. As I stuck through it, every 3-4 episodes gradually got better ...

Mixed Feelings
Was disappointed by this, wasn't super interested in many of the characters and backstories and the "twists" and reveals at the end were disppointing. Honestly this anime is overrated.

But it just didn't live up to my expectations. Maybe it was just a personal thing, sometimes an anime that other people like just doesn't land for me, and sometimes an anime other people dislike I end up loving ...

This is one of the most overrated anime I've ever seen.

It does start out good, with the set up to the overarching plot and drama and the establishment of characters that would contribute to this. However, as more characters are introduced and the story has increasingly less reason to focus on MC all the time, the anime runs into the all-too-common problem of, not being able to tie up any loose ends and half-assing it at the end by using said increasingly irrelevant MC to act as an anchor.

As always I will review this from a perspective of looking out for women's interests. The character ...
