The director, Baku Kinoshita, has officially gone the record to say that Satoshi Kon is a huge inspiration to him. While you can make many fantastic parallels with most of Kon's psychological thrillers, it would be remiss to not point out Paranoia Agent in particular. Both shows feature a central, violent mystery that heavily affects an ensemble cast that seems unconnected, but slowly threads together brilliantly throughout the course of the show. A few episodes of Odd Taxi even excel at capturing the intense psychological ruminations Kon was known for, causing some of the highest highs of the series.

Imagine, if you will, a Satoshi Kon mystery thriller with it's complex characters, psychological mindfuckery, and social commentary. Add moe animal characters, pitch black comedy, sophisticated dialog, twist ending and top production values. While pretty different on the surface, both shows are cut from the same cloth in terms of world, narrative style, and subject matters.
