ODD TAXI was a strange but engaging anime about a walrus taxi driver who gets caught up in a murder mystery due to his passengers.
There’s quite a twist, and you might wonder how a movie could follow on or even be a prequel. As it happens, ODDTAXI: In the Woods is a compilation of the series which extends just a bit to tie up loose ends.
That’s the latest teaser. It’s a clever trailer, too, as it stars some key characters who explain the situations. At least, without any English subtitles, that’s what I’m told they’re doing and believe it. As Odd Taxi itself explores, it’s peculiar what people believe.
Odd TAXI: In the Woods hits theatres in Japan on April 1st. It’s due to stream on Crunchyroll later.
Crunchyroll, who had the show before the Funimation merger, describe the main series;
This town should look familiar, but suddenly, it’s not. The taxi driver Odokawa lives a very mundane life. He has no family, doesn’t really hang out with others, and he’s an oddball who is narrow-minded and doesn’t talk much. The only people he can call his friends are his doctor, Gouriki and his classmate from high school, Kakibana. All of his patrons seem to be slightly odd themselves. The college student who wants to be noticed online, Kabasawa. A nurse with secrets, Shirakawa. A comedy duo, the Homosapiens… All these mundane conversations somehow lead to a girl who’s gone missing.
