ODDTAXI (Season 1)

ODDTAXI (オッドタクシー, 2021) is a Japanese animated mystery series you can watch online on iFILM, produced by P.I.C.S. Odokawa is 41, a walrus, and keeps to himself. He drives a cab through Tokyo, says little, and listens to everything. Then several of his fares turn out to be tangled up in the disappearance of a teenage girl.

Each episode drops a new passenger into the back seat: a stand-up comic who owes the wrong people money, a doctor hiding something, a social-media hustler chasing viral fame, a shady cop. None of them seem connected. Odokawa, voiced by Natsuki Hanae, remembers every detail. The full cast brings the same level of quiet precision to characters who reveal themselves one sentence at a time.

Using animal characters is not a gimmick — it strips away the visual noise of human faces and makes the social dynamics land harder. ODDTAXI is a proper slow-burn mystery that pays off every thread it sets up. Watch all episodes online on iFILM.
