Coming into the Spring 2021 anime season, Odd Taxi wasn't even on my radar. The only way I found out about this show was by finding a Spotify playlist including the OP, ED, and OST songs. Listening to the playlist, I was immediately hooked to the vibes of the music, and just had to watch the anime.
Watching the series from start to finish, I can definitively say Odd Taxi was the best anime of the season, while unfortunately being one of the most slept-on anime of Spring. A hidden diamond in the rough. It can be obviously said that the reason why this show isn't as high as it should be is because it stars anthropomorphic animals, or as some people would say, "it's a furry anime." That overgeneralization is disappointing to say the least, but to those who are still skeptical that this is a "furry" anime, I assure you the plot, music, characters, animation, and the satisfaction at the end will be entirely worth it.
I must say that, for Baku Kinoshita's anime directorial debut, he did an amazing job making this story come to life. I sincerely can't wait to see where he takes this story or future stories in the future.
As I also mentioned before, the music for this show was the aspect that reeled me in in the first place, so it must be said that the songs provided by Skirt and PUNPEE, the amazingly talented Suzuko Mimori, and many other talented artists made this show worth it from start to finish.
Overall, this was a very special anime to me, and I implore anyone who's interested in good story telling, art direction, or music to give this anime a watch, because it is definitely worth the time. 10/10.
