Odd Taxi seems like one of those furry anime again, but it’s nothing like that.
(Spoiler free review)

Story : 10/10
A taxi driver named Odokawa drives around the city late at night, and as you’d expect, he gets in contact with some pretty unusual people, to say the least. Eventually, he gets himself caught in a murder case. As this review is spoiler free, it’s very hard for me to keep talking. And I think you should go into this 13 episode show almost completely blind, just knowing it’s going to be good.

When I first looked at the trailer of this anime I ... thought by myself “is this an anime?”, that’s because it’s a totally original art style. It’s kind of a cutesy style, just looking at the characters makes me wanna hug them! They all looks so fluffy. The background is also really detailed and really drags you into the late night city atmosphere. The style really fits the story IMO. But overall, looking at it from a perspective of someone who doesn’t know anything about this show it’s nothing incredibly awesome.

Sound : 8/10
The opening is a ducking masterpiece. The song really fits the visuals of the show and it really gets you into the late night city atmosphere! The soundtracks of the show itself aren’t that memorable IMO, but they aren’t really ment to be I think. The soundtracks do bring you into the late night city atmosphere and i think that is its only goal. Overall it’s pretty damn good

Characters : 10/10
Every single character is completely unique and they all have their interesting personality traits. At first, a bunch of characters get introduced in the first few episodes. It seems like these characters don’t have any connections to each other but as the story progresses you find out that every character is connected in some way or another. I think these characters are all really memorable because they’re all a different animal species, most of the time, and because they all add something to the story overall.

Enjoyment : 9/10
I really enjoyed binging all the 13 episodes of odd taxi in a day or 2. Every episode just forces you to watch another one! It’s really addicting. Sometimes the story did seem to be a little all over the place, especially if you’re someone who doesn’t really pay attention to the anime and you just watch it while drawing or doing something else, but that didn’t ruin the experience for me at all.

Overall : 9/10

Let me just begin with a confession, I’ve rewatched this anime so many times that I lost count. It’s just… so fucking good.

Story : 10/10
Senku shows off the powers of the snicker, a chocolate candy bar crammed with peanuts, caramel and nougat then coated with milk chocolate. He feeds it to a man who is stuck in stone because of the petrification beam. The snicker breaks the stone and frees the man.

It’s just outstanding. Super detailed, you could even compare it to stuff like Berserk and JoJos. The Snicker is super detailed and just looking at it makes me drool ... like crazy. Gosh even by thinking about the snicker makes me so fucking hungry.

Sound : 10/10
The soundtrack is absolutely godlike and it surpasses any soundtrack made before. The only thing we can compare it to is the Boku no Pico soundtrack, both BNPs and the Dr Stone Snicker soundtrack really fit the animation and story, they’re both very emotional and both made me cry. But the dr stone snicker soundtrack just surpasses the one of Boku No Pico.
Also, the voice actors are absolutely astonishing. Especially the man stuck in stone, after he gets freed from the stone he moans loudly in happiness while eating the rest of the snicker bar.

Characters : 10/10
Senku ; amazing character with an amazing backstory, voice actor, character design, IQ and attitude. He invented the snicker bar, we must praise him.
The man stuck in stone ; super tragic character. He has an amazing voice character and has some very memorable lines. His character design is so memorable, I’ve never seen anything like it before.

Enjoyment : 10/10
I’ve never seen such an exiting, deep and most of all emotional anime in any anime, manga, movie, book or comic before. I’ll be rewatching this anime throughout my whole life until the day I die.

Overall : 10/10
I definitely recommend watching this anime, it’ll change your perspective on life.
