ODDTAXI

Odd Taxi is one of the best animes of the decade, the anime features a peculiar style of animal people (a bit similar to the approach used in other animes such as BNA or Beastars) which at first glance makes us forget the Stereotypes, but in reality they They are very present, and we become aware of this throughout the anime to a certain extent as we follow the development of the characters and get to know their stories, until the end of the story reveals everything about the protagonist. Odakawa is an incredible protagonist for the series, he was a peaceful man who just wanted to live his life in his corner until, suddenly, he finds himself in the situation of a crime that happened in his city and of which he is a suspect. . The work, in fact, tells the entire "documentary" of the crime very well, full of plot twists and mysteries that arise, most of which will end up being closed, some early, others only at the end of the story, but all well developed and masterfully closed.The characters are all very well developed, each with very unique characteristics and stories constructed to portray real-life situations, such as addiction to Gacha games with a lifetime's worth of money invested in order to achieve a goal which takes a moment of satisfaction to the character in question, described by him as the feeling of satisfaction that is only felt for an instant due to the release of dopamine from his brain, or a toxic relationship in which one of the parties develops Stockholm syndrome due to the abuser, among many other situations are very realistic and developed in a subtle way, giving realism and making the characters and their stories more humanized, despite their animalistic appearance.The animation is very pleasing to the eye, there isn't much to say, it's nothing fantastic, but everything in the anime is cute and well done, the colors are beautiful, the backgrounds work and fit with the style, the anime is very consistent in animation, despite not having much fluidity, it is not an anime that requires complex animation requirements, for what the anime proposes I think it is a very appropriate approach (highlighting the life that Staff managed to give to the city itself , always with pedestrians passing by on the street and other cars passing by whenever the frame is inside the Odokawa Taxi, with several stores in the background passing by in more commercial areas, it really makes it seem like the city has life, it gives the feeling that it is a place where events take place, I would say that it is another of the many strong points of this anime). Odd Taxi has become one of my favorite animes, I love the captivating story and its plot twists, I love the characters, the anime production did an excellent job.
