Holy cinema! This is a masterpiece.

I wasn't expecting the twist that Odokawa saw everyone as animals, but it was an insane reveal. The ending was a cliffhanger but I'm assuming he has some plan to catch the killer since I'm pretty sure he knows it's her.

Okay, darn, that was some ending there! Surely Odakawa-san knew about it and has a plan in motion, right? Sakura-san clearly won't hesitate and I dearly hope he won't be taking any chances with her...

What a twist revelation of Odokawa-san seeing everyone as animals. There was a mention of humans last episode and I found that strange but it finally adds up now. We don't often see Natsuki Hanae-san play these kinds of roles but he's good at these, and the persona of Odokawa-san was spot on too! Tragic backstory there and mad respect to him for taking the plunge into the ocean although if he paid a bit more attention, he would've noticed that Yano and his lackey had already stopped the chase sometime well in advance. I binged this in about 24 hours despite my packed schedule and no regrets, solid 9/10 from here.

Mystery was up there but the shining feature of the show was the non-linear storytelling with various parties involved and their perspectives in the mix too. I'm surprised Tanaka-san got away with everything though, I don't think Odokawa-san was dreaming of that plot line, was he? Shirakawa-san was a really cool character too and the first thing coming to his mouth being pretty was so touching, I wish they showed us something definitive to seal the deal.

I'll make sure to check the drama audios and, most importantly, the movie! I know most of it is recap but honestly, if it expands on this finale in a neat way, I'm fine with it.

Man what a fuckin daaaaark ending. I thought there would be a little more up and down in this series but it is pretty consistently miserable. And yet, somehow it doesn't feel like its overdone in that regard. It worked out okayish for the people that tried to do good and most of the worst misery landed on the bad guys. But man, I don't know why Wadagaki had to be a Dexter-level serial murderer in the making? That just seemed kinda over-the-top.

In general I'm honestly not sure what to say about this show. It was compelling enough that I could easily watch as many episodes in a day as I had time for. All the characters are good and interesting (although Yano is annoying as hell). The story was a little convenient at times and it goes to some strangely dark places but in the end I liked almost all of it. Its kind of hard to think of a specific reason for why I was so interested in seeing where it all went though. Its a comparatively low-stakes crime story involving a lot of very pathetic people and you can tell from a mile away that it isn't going to have a happy ending. What an oddtaxi series. Still, I can see this being a cult classic that I'll re-watch in the future.

Watched this a few months ago and while it was a pretty good show throughout I didn’t fully get the hype until last episode. I think this is a 10/10 but IDK, maybe once I watch more anime like this the rating will drop. It just hits different when an anime lands the ending like that.

Damn, I finally finished this thing. I had binged the 1st 9 episodes, then gone to bed back in January. It has been on hold since then. Saw this thread & watched the last 4. Man, best of the series. A solid crime thriller with a weird twist. I loved it. 9.75/10.
I put it off for years because the simplistic animal designs were initially off-putting to me. My mistake!

I enjoyed this crime thriller adventure, it's well written with a touch of mystery - there are small plotholes, but overall it's great and thus a solid 8/10

Brain condition aside, a ton of the cast genuinely look like the animals our dude saw them as lmao.

Shirakawa is an actual beast for managing to rescue Odokawa under those circumstances, and man is that final shot chilling.

Exceptional mystery all around.

So I guessed it right! Knew something wrong with her. They were portraying her way too innocent. It's an underrated anime for sure. I hope she doesn't pull a rope on him from behind but that I'll find out in the movie ig. Couldn't have guessed it was all an illusion. And that cat at the end coming out of the closet was so unexpected and funny. Alr, I'm onto the movie. She's crazy kinda reminds me of Perfect Blue. Hope Odokawa is alright. Masterpiece of an anime 10/10> 11:28 pm, August 8 2025

Odd Taxi was such an unexpected and strange experience: whenever a moment felt dragged out, it would always bring me back with a phenomenal twist. The writing was fantastic. It’s truly the epitome of odd.

Odokawa's death cliffhanger. Probably the only thing I didn't enjoy about the series, and they answered everything else, so I can't really complain.
