ODD TAXI: Episode 2 FULL LENGTH Reaction!
Added 2025-07-18 13:00:03 +0000 UTC*INTERPERSONAL HEADPHONE WARNINGS*
Look, this episode may seem like a Walrus driving around listening to two comedians telling bad jokes...but what if I said it was a symbolic tie to the various interpersonal relationships developing on screen with this colorful cast of characters?!
Odakawa's job gets more tense as shady and suspicious characters surround him and the mystery is deepening with what we know and don't know about motivations and people's expectations of others!

I have actually been recommended Durarara!! It was on the polls a year or so ago, maybe it can come back in the future! Capitalism is a huge part of it, but there are so many animation studios (Ufotable, KyoAni) that do it RIGHT, still make money, but don’t do moves like that, so that’s just where I stand. It’s just a matter of integrity to me. I don’t think capitalism is an excuse, and if they’re using it as such, that’s lame. Just my opinion, of course. This series is WILD and it’s only going to get wilder from here! Thank you for the comment!!

2025-07-31 19:48:54 +0000 UTCI was wondering if you ever watched or was recommended Durarara!! before? Seeing you analyze relations between characters I think you may like Durarara!!, no joke. Reffering to talk about relasing anime with unfinished animation and the relasing better versions on blue ray - everything is ruled by capitalism. It's not only a tool to make more people buy blue rays but also people in charge wanting to relase "basic" version as fast as they can so they could start making money. Thats why with the budget and time they got animation studios don't even have enough time ti "polish" the animation as much as they could. Then they relase anime, got money from the relase, and then animation studio have a little bit more time to work on a series and "polished" version is relased on blue ray and they got even more money from buying "better" animated and updated blue ray version of the same anime. We love capitalism! yay! I didn't watch Odd Taxi before and I'm watching it with you now and I need to say I'm very intrigued with this series. Can't wait to see how the mystery is going to be resolved!

2025-07-21 17:01:33 +0000 UTCYou know a show’s mystery is good when we’re only two episodes in and I’m tempted to break out the cork board and red string :P The idea that everyone might not be animals and it’s just Odakawa seeing them that way hadn’t occurred to me! Shows like Beastars and Zootopia tend to bring up the species of different characters a lot, such as herbivore vs carnivore stuff, but that doesn’t really seem to come up in this show. Maybe that’s the reason why! That reminds me that I wondered about the name of the radio show when it first came up. I wondered if the show was actually run by a couple of humans, since the name was homosapiens, and that maybe humans lived alongside all these other sentient animal species. When I saw the hosts weren’t humans, it made me wonder if all these animal soecies are considered ‘homo sapiens’ to distinguish them from the animals that they eat. Kinda like how in Dungeon Meshi everyone is considered human, even if they are also elves or dwarves. But now I wonder if this is meant to be a subtle hint that your idea is right 🤔 Well, whatever the case, I’m gonna have a whole new lens to look through in future episodes now! Thanks for the fun theory!
