[@justarandomweeb4833]

more people should watch oddtaxi, a lot of people don’t consider his an “actual anime” for some reason when it really is an amazing one

[@4ballssss]

Don't tell me it's because of the art and it's characters designed as animal's intentionally. Man, people still haven't learned to embrace other animes for it's unique and distinctive art.

[@carolinebergin4633]

I can’t help but wonder why that is. I have a dream to publish my own books and stories someday in the form of coloring books and graphic novels. But every time I try to start something I get doubts in my mind and when I do show them nobody understands them. What does it take I wonder to share something that goes unnoticed

[@ayo__ayo]

Lately I've found that shows with animal people seem to have the most relatable characters (this show, Aggretsuko, and Bojack Horseman)

[@misanthropiclusion]

The character design on this is so incredibly charming

[@carolinebergin4633]

I’m actually trying to practice my own humanoid animal designs myself ☺️

The conversation in this show feels so natural. The bar scene is my favorite because It genuinely feels like a normal conversation between friends

Anime of the year contender

[@鼻Sopp]

Millennium anime competitor*

[@Darklight65583]

After seeing all the episodes and now watching this first one again, I can't help but see it differently knowing what I know and really notice things and characters who I wouldn't have thought twice about! Love it!

[@MsCuriousinferno]

This whole anime is fantastic. I keep coming back to this video just to watch the opening scene with the idol song. It's such great foreshadowing for all the characters we meet and the parts they play in the story, even if you don't realize it on your first watch. On top of that, the combination of the music and the visual beats that go along with them is kind of mesmerizing. It really gives the feeling of "something's about to start" and the final part of the scene where the music shifts from what we the audience hear to how it sounds on Odokawa's radio is a fantastic transition from a prelude to the story proper.

[@davidedalterio4979]

5:33 - 5:41 These words hit me the very first time I heard them: they already introduce Odokawa as the simple and kind man he will act as, although he's also a bit too much blunt (5:43, 14:41) and never breaks his character as a middle-aged man unable to juggle well with young people's world (7:01 - 7:14). Most all of this characteristics relate to his backstory in one way or another, and it's also amazing to see how deeply he has developed in only 13 episodes.

[@nicolasgomez4052]

Oddtaxi? More like Godtaxi, this show is legit freaking amazing, the first ep. got me hooked all the way back in april with the Tarantino-like dialogue, the tight mystery kept me invested and the giga plot twist in the last ep could give Shyamalan a heart attack. If you haven't yet, you owe it to yourself to watch this modern classic. Also, Burusu Springstii.

[@eminiclam]

the twist of the last episode (foreshadowed MANY times across the series) alone makes it an 8/10 easily.

[@otanuki4288]

"I guessed on the vision tests", after seeing the last episode, I can imagine why.

[@LLHgames]

Every week I kept wondering why this anime never made the Top 10 lists. Yeah, maybe people prefer fan service over anthropomorphic characters, but this was my show of the season. I won't spoil anything, watch this and you'll know if you want to watch the rest.

[@benjamingardner3314]

For anyone put off by the aesthetic: endure it, this anime would not exist without it, it's integral to the mystery. Best writing of any anime this year, think Paranoia Agent, Tarantino, Innaritu, swirled into an mystery.

so, first time seeing this episode, but some details I noticed when rewatching this episode. 3:38. this alpaca is stealing the drugs later mentioned 21:23-21:46. Edit: so at 12:04 we see the silhouette of possibly the alpaca selling the stolen drugs to Dobu also, this is something I noticed the first time through, at 1:55 we hear about someone going missing in Nerima. later, at 2:38, the radio station receives mail from a Tokyo high school student, the exact same description of the missing student in Nerima. later, at 4:28, we have this exchange. Odokawa: where to? that blue hippo: Nerima
