 Pony Canyon opened an official website for an original television anime titled Odd Taxi on Friday, revealing the cast, staff, a teaser visual (pictured), and promo. The anime series is set to air in April 2021.Synopsis In a city which should be familiar, there is the feeling of something a little different. Odokawa is a taxi driver who lives an ordinary life, driving some quirky customers around. A slightly eccentric stranger who has no relatives nor any relations with other people, Odokawa's hobby is to listen to Rakugo on the radio before going to bed. For the time being, the only people he can consider as friends are his family doctor Gouriki, and his high school classmate Kakihana. Kabasawa, a college student who wants a buzz, Shirakawa, a nurse who's hiding something, comedian group Homo Sapiens, who isn't selling well, the city hoodlum Dobu, and the rookie idol group Mystery Kiss—the conversations with these people, which should not have meant much, lead to a girl who disappeared.

| weird trailer but looks interesting |
 |
| Looks interesting and fresh. Character designs a bit weird though, maybe not in a bad way. |
| This looks ODDly interesting huh. I'm gonna try this out, more like a seinen SoL with some mystery beneath it. Might be nice to try something like this, hope they don't make it bad though. |
 |
| This is somehow roping me in. Not sure what makes this appeal to me, but I'll keep an eye on this when this comes out. |
| Not sure if I'll watch this. |

anzu-no-uta said: Well that's a lot of cast members lol they also have 3 love live voice actresses in here 3? I only see 2. That Manatsu Murakami seems to be a different person from Ai's seiyuu. |
| Seems really intriguing, even tho I'm not sold on the visuals yet. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| It seems interesting and the music was good too but will it be full CGI? The teaser gave me Disney vibes... |

| At first, I was confused on why they called it “Odd Taxi” but after watching the trailer, I think I understand why. |
 |
| That pic just makes me think of Oldboy, damn. But that trailer makes me go whaaaat |
| reminds me of Great Pretender lmao. this will be fun to watch. |
| Just the right sort of slightly unnerving PV, this could actually be great. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |

That Manatsu Murakami seems to be a different person from Ai's seiyuu. I think they meant Riho Iida, Suzuko Mimori, and Moeka Koizumi. Moeka voices Shioriko in Love Live All Stars and the character haven't appeared in Nijigasaki anime. |

| This could be hit or miss but the synopsis sounds fine enough. Hopefully it'll be at least watchable |

I'm actually quite familiar with Moepii (and Nijigasaki in general), but I only recently learned about Rippi. She's the one I missed lol. |
