Never judge a book by its cover.
One day, I was listening to a bunch of random anime openings that Youtube recommended, and I heard the music for this anime. It was so catchy, I had to see what other people were saying about it in the comments. And there I saw, people praising this anime called, "OddTaxi."
Curious about its high praise, today, I decided to watch the show after a frustrating biochemistry exam. And I was not let down! This anime kept throwing surprises left and right. Primarily, I thought this would be an episodic series about the life of a regular taxi man with people as animals. BUT This show goes deeper and digs into the psychological of criminals, the lost, and mentally injured people. I don't know if it has been done before, but when it was revealed that all the animals were all an illusion depicted by the mind of the taxi, I felt abit sad. I too wished they were all animals, but only for a second.
Although I'm not in my 40's yet nor have I lived enough experiences, I could relate or atleast understand most of the characters' emotions. I always found it hard to interact with people to the point sometimes I wished they or I would disappear, I would want attention from alot of people like Kabakawa, and I went through a similar experience similar to Tanaka (well not to that extreme).
Although the animation isn't particularly spectacular, the story got me. I would highly recommend this to people!
