| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well...that's a faster than usual OP, which means sinister things are happening this episode. Imai has finally got onboard Odokawa's taxi, and more than the Mystery Kiss poster at the back of his seat, his billion-dollar winning ticket (that Odokawa randomly picked the numbers for him in an earlier episode) has Imai treating the "fortune god" to Shinjuku (more specifically the Kabukichou red district to Imai's waiter job at a cabaret). As much as Odokawa fervently pushes back with his "thanks, but no thanks" gesture (since he has no likings), indeed things got dark with Tanaka's (the one with the skull mask) sudden assassination with Dobu's gun, to which Odokawa escaped in one piece with the help of Imai (and obtusely, Shibagaki with holding Tanaka off in the danger of getting shot). Well well, Shirakawa decides to pop up now (and I swear that Odokawa's house is hiding something), and the usual talk between the two ensues, but with a heavy heart because of the current circumstances. Honestly though, Shirakawa's a vile woman to be led by Dobu (whom she used to date), to be lent a huge sum of money and be repaid by stealing Doctor Goriki's medicine, and then taking advantage of the situation when Odokawa's name is mentioned, all to Dobu's benefits of being a criminal. Such an animal being used in the wackiest of ways possible, even with sweet words like a confession, Odokawa won't be taken in by such a play. As usual, Kabusawa would want dibs on anything that concerns Dobu, whether he is on the scene or not. And in this case, the former is only growing more of a felony against the real criminal. Ascertaining that someone (Tanaka) got a price on Odokawa's head, and since Dobu's gun is with him, joining forces is the only way to salvage what was lost: Dr. Goriki's resources and Shirakawa's debt-filled problems. For now, shutting this young hippo chap's mouth is the only way that both Odokawa and Dobu can conceal their identities and keep mum about this incident. https://twitter.com/kbsw_t/status/1318860580334153728 --> This is as close to his recordings. Kakhana getting a loan to put up his rich guy's facade to please Shiho, oh come on man. Of course, since Shibagaki is a public figure (of the Homosapiens), the coverage of the incident on the cabaret is extinguished fast, and as is with his reputation is the worse half of the comedic duo. Baba's more popular than Shibagaki, and the world doesn't heed to the weak losers. I find it fascinating that both Baba and Rui have similar goals, yet compliment one another nicely. A relationship blooming is the only result of these two. A pretty tense episode for all circumstances, though you can tell that one is losing the place than the other. |

| To think that guy really won a billion yen with the random numbers that Odokawa gave him. Dang it Odokawa, your luck must be on top at that point. Oh-oh.. that psycho guy is really out for blood. He ain't playing this time around. Luckily he didn't actually shot someone there. Shirakawa actually told Odokawa about her and Dobu and to my surprise, she confessed her feelings to Odokawa as well. Odokawa and Dobu have joined forces, it'll be interesting to see how this partnership goes. Both have different motives behind this. Felt bad for Shibagaki, Baba is now much more popular than him. Really loving it so far. |

| I feel like he's going to get in trouble for posting that he won the lottery on the Internet The tension went out, when Shibagaki talked to him like it was nothing, but when he fired, I remembered again that he was fucking crazy >You're starting with smth I didn't know. BRUHHH Very sad talk, Odokawa very cold with she, but it's understandable.... I already knew the videos were going to be a lot of trouble. Odokawa and Dobu with a deal, this is going to be very interesting As alway, really good episode (≧◡≦) |
| This episode was so good and interesting. now the animation director's live stream made sense as to why he was drawing Imai like that. I think that Kabawasa (?) is becoming a bit crazy and losing his mind. The new ED was really nice and it made me sad :( I can't wait for the next episode, based on the previews something bad is going to happen to Kakihana. |
  |
| Not a smart move to tell everyone that you won the lottery. That guy will regret it later. That first gunshot scared me. Decent episode again. Great dialogue as always. |

| I woder what happened to the OP this episode. |
 |
| Woah, wtf is going on with Kakihana at the end of the next episode preview? On a separate note, I believe this episode was the first one in which a character other than Odokawa mentioned the animal characteristics of another character... But that was just Rui calling Baba "horse-faced." If the translation is accurate, which it probably is, then I think she was just describing his facial features and not calling him a horse. And then there was also the way that Odokawa described being able to pick out people in a crowd. I've believed that Odokawa is the only one seeing others as animals since episode 2, but this episode definitely provides more evidence towards that theory. |
| Why did they cut the OP short, I thought there was something wrong with the episode. If this show was aired in America, the OP would be cut just like that. This episode was intense as the gunman came into the cabaret club looking for Odakawa. So Shirakawa was the one who stole the drugs from the clinic in exchange fro money to pay off her debts. Dobu offers to team up with Odakawa in an effort to get his gun and find the guy that was taking shit about him on the internet. Baba is starting to get more popular and is starting to get close with one of the members of Mystery Kiss. The producer is not going to like that as he warned Baba not to get close to the idols. I feel bad that Shibagaki since its clear to him that Baba doesn't need him. I hope he finds another partner for his comedy act. The new ED was great too. |

apokaliz500 said: Midorichandesu said: As for what Odokawa said at the end of his conversation with Dobu, the theory of only him seeing the rest as animals is getting stronger. As much as I dislike crazy fan theories and I dislike people being completely convinced about them after some vague scenes even more, I have to say: rather than making this theory stronger, it practically confirms it imo. Which I still don't like at all, this honestly feels like an extremely pointless plot point, not to mention the execution makes no sense - we get lots of scenes where Odokawa is not present, yet we still keep seeing everyone as animals. But so far this is the only thing in this show I don't like. We seeing animals even when Odokawa isn't around could just be to keep the mystery going but IMO how he can see people as the same animal even when only just having a glance or partially seeing them makes it more like a super power. |
| Odokawa have a good heart for the better or worse,to be angry and still help Shirakawa. Police response was slow, for the Halloween have time to search, talk to Shibagaki and flee. Im curious about Shibagaki next step,after what looked like the realization that the duo is no more. Next episode looking pretty good , with idols and Kakihana beat up. |
 |
| I don’t want to get off Mr Odd Taxi’s wild ride. |
| And he shakes hands with the 'devil.' Something very interesting will happen next episode, according to that preview. |
Midorichandesu said: It makes sense because each time they are describing someone they are not saying characteristics such as "A Cat" or "A Walrus" Even Shirakawa when talking about Odokawa calls him a "Grumpy Taxi Driver" When she could have been more Specific by calling him a Walrus. It seemed obviously in the beginning imo that these are actually real people but being seen as animals.When the first gunshot was fired, I seriously got scared. Seeing Tanaka there totally freaked me out. Shirakawa's situation is pitiful, but beyond that, it is really hard to sympathize with her. I was glad to see Odokawa walk away without getting swayed in the slightest. As for what Odokawa said at the end of his conversation with Dobu, the theory of only him seeing the rest as animals is getting stronger. Seeing Kakihana getting beaten the crap outta him, I'm pretty sure the next episode's gonna be wild. Personally the only thing I care about ATM is who the fuck is in Odokawa's house? is it the boss' friends daughter or someone else? Either way Odokawa wants to keep them hidden. |

| This episode i bring too much words. I hope its not bothered anyone. Lol. Shit getting serious pretty fast, eh? Odokawa almost be the death Walrus if only Imai not helping him out of those cursed place in time. Thats the connection between those two, so far, after helping Imai winning the lottery. Maybe something will up again. But its just done now. This episode, Shirakawa finally told everything to Odokawa, including her twisted relations with Dobu, the yakuza baboon. The alpaca sounded honest with her feeling there. Broken windows theory with the heart as an addition. Another good lesson coming from Odd taxi. The scene of them also mentioned that mystery part again. Odokawa decision made a sense. But, how the angle give the place a shot, and Shirakawa mentioning. The mystery about the part really curious me. The duo comedian screen time. They finally revealed the smaetass name and his body form. Idk what shit about this revelation. Maybe he will helped the poor old comedian out of his stress this episode have. Lets see... Kabasawa and his video again, and, damn, Odokawa made a deal with Dobu. Thats very unexpected, and kinda sad. However, for the sake of his closed relatives, including the alpaca, the odd taxi driver seems ready to accept all of the risks coming from those unexpected turn of table. Odokawa comment about having a skill to find people at crowd, well, you sure can do that, Mr Odokawa. Look at all of those different character animal. Then the last section about the duo comedian again. Its the young one and his busy youth daily lifes. Too bad he seems to very much forgetting the status of his duo comedian with the old man. Something not good coming from their relations. But, oh that chick idol is his girlfriend? Thats interesting! Now if only i can deciphered the meaning of her statement, calling Baba have a horse face, it will be fuckin hella good. But for now, thats it all for this week episode. Also, no ed song, which kinda make me a little sad about that, tho xd. |

I was mad the OP was shorten but things are getting dark. Odokawa just blocked Mahiro, Se went from cute and likable to a two face bitch. The "I love you" bit can kick rocks. This show is getting more and more interesting. What will happen next? This show has lots of moving parts. I can't wait for more. |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |
| woaahoh horse comedy guy is going Big big and he's dating the main girl from mystery kiss? damn life's going pretty nice for him |
| Wow, I didn't expect Odokawa to be so cold towards Shirakawa. Looks like Tanaka's gone rogue, firing the gun he found in that club. That pact Dobu and Odokawa made looks extremely interesting, and I'm very excited. What I'm really curious for is to see how things between Odokawa and Shirakawa transpire over the next few episodes. |
 |
| This whole "Dobu makes every crime" gives me Negan vibes from the Walking Dead |
 |
| I thought I was going crazy at first, they actually cut the OP short, probably to fit in more stuff, that's some good shit as much as I love the OP. Another fantastic episode! Didn't expect Tanaka to just bust in the cabaret club guns blazing sheesh. I thought Tanaka shot Shibagaki phew, Tanaka probably took back the tracker from Odokawa's car. Also Imai is pretty stupid for posting online that he won the lottery, he's playing a dangerous game, plus he's just flaunting his unclaimed lottery ticket like a dumbass, there's probably something that's going to happen to his lottery ticket. I feel bad for Shirakawa, but her actions has gotta have consequences, Odokawa still negotiated with Dobu for her freedom, but I am sure he's serious about not having anything to do with her again. I am really curious about the missing high school girl, is she really in the closet? Kabasawa got some balls, power of the internet. He's smart though, if Dobu does something to him, then it'll just make things worse for Dobu even if he has connections with the police, the people ain't gonna tolerate that. Odokawa and Dobu teaming is honestly pretty cool. Baba is gaining success now, leaving Shibagaki behind, well at least not yet, but it'll probably get there. I wonder if Rui is actually being genuine with Baba, I feel like she is, but I am not entirely sure. F's for Shibagaki though, but the new ED was great. Really looking forward to the next episode, while all of this is happening, Kakihana is screwing himself. |

| Yabe, everything is connecting slowly We could see what happened to Eiji on the PVs on youtube, there´s a lot of good info there Cant wait to next week |
My Candies 2024      My Old Candies:      |
| I wonder why they slightly changed the OP song... the smooth jazz solo at the end was my favorite part :/ |
 |
| Eiji probably in for a world of hurt by getting cash loans from shady people. The Odokawa and Dobu alliance was a surprise. I guess he does harbor some feelings for Shirakawa even after he was used by her. Baba's rise to fame is probably going to crash and burn while Shibagaki takes everything slowly. Will Dobu catch Tanaka and have his name cleared!? I absolutely love how everything is connected either directly or indirectly. |
| Damn ! This anime is definitely underrated. Hope more people checkout.Things getting really spicey now |
 |
| A really strong episode here, it feels like the show is finally beginning to build up to something big with most characters introduced and where they need to be. Can't state enough how impressed I am with how this series is constructed and directed. |
 |
| wait Shirakawa and Dobu used to date for 4 years? LOL |
| i feel so bad for the comedian dude :(((( |
| obscure anime for u idiots to watch right NOW 1.Odd Taxi WATCH THIS!!!!! 2.LINK CLICK super underrated!! (chinese, foto-time travelling, emotional stories dope music) 3.Mashiro no Oto if u like traditional jap banger music please support Cherry&virgin if u can!! |
yousteponit said: I wish I could go a little further into detail (and I might go back and rewatch these past 6 episodes to find more evidence to support my theory) but everyone has something the other wants. It could be small, yet significant. One thing that always sticks out to me is Tanaka's connection with erasers. Even though it's not a dodo, Odokawa is in possession of the eraser that basically "ruined" Tanaka's life. Remember when Shirakawa slipped the eraser of Donraku Shofutei into his shirt pocket? Now with the increased violence, I theorize that maybe Tanaka and Odokawa will end up in an altercation, the eraser will fall out, and that small object of desire will hopefully fix that conflict. Again, just a small theory. Another thing is although we don't know who's in his home, Odokawa has someone with him. All we can assume is that it could be the missing female that basically started this entire ordeal. From that assumption, he HAS another thing people are looking for. I have other things in mind, but I really want to make sure I have enough evidence to support these ideas. Please feel free to quote and add on anything else you have in mind! I want to know what others think about this themselves. tbh i think the show is trying to make us believe that Odokawa has the missing girl in his apartment, but I'm just kind of convinced he's got like a cat in his apartment that was injured and won't come out or something (like the cat in the op). since apparently everyone is actually human and only odokawa sees the others as animals, a pet cat existing wouldn't be that huge a deal |
| obscure anime for u idiots to watch right NOW 1.Odd Taxi WATCH THIS!!!!! 2.LINK CLICK super underrated!! (chinese, foto-time travelling, emotional stories dope music) 3.Mashiro no Oto if u like traditional jap banger music please support Cherry&virgin if u can!! |
| Gacha guy crashing the cabaret gave me a bit of chills there, even if I knew it was likely ultimately nothing would happen. I could feel that dangerous atmosphere. With some hints dropping it's seemingly more likely that the theory only Odokawa seems them as animals is true. There was the "horse face" bit at the end, with can be seen as either literal or figurative, and the bit about how Odakawa's good at finding people. I don't care for the theory much, but I'll save the why until we actually find out if it's true. I've seen others touch on some of my issues with it anyway. |

apokaliz500 said: There's no logical reason for us to see characters portrayed as animals in any scene that Odokawa is not in. We are not him, we don't have his mental condition and we cannot say we're seeing the world from the eyes of some other character which has their scene at the moment, because they are not supposed to have samer mental condition as Odokawa. If you want to go that way, there's no logical reason for us to see characters the same way as Odokawa at all then. The anime is not showing us scenes directly from his perspective, we're a third party looking in. It's because of that that there's no reason the anime can't extend Odokawa's condition to our viewpoint regardless of whether he's in the scene or not. |
| Was a decent episode, but felt like the weakest one so far. How did that Baba guy become so popular all of a sudden? Weren't the both of them struggling not long back? |
| I'm getting serious Satoshi Kon vibes out of this show. |
| Looks like Odokawa and Dobu are working together to find who the Halloween guy is. Also I felt so bad for Shibagaki because he knows that Baba is more popular than him and he cant do anything about it. |
 |
| Do you guys think Shirakawa's love for Odokawa is really genuine???!? lolz Odokawa going in for a dangerous ride by involving with bad entities! oh man! 5/5. |
 |
| shirakawa and odokawa kinda reminds me of catwoman and batman NGL and shit kakihana got some serious damage at the preview... poor guy |
i fucking hate manga (keeps reading manga discord | o_ganji |
