Odd Taxi (Japanese: オッドタクシー, Hepburn: Oddo Takushī ) (stylized as ODDTAXI ) is a Japanese anime television series produced by OLM and P.I.C.S. It was broadcast on TV Tokyo and AT-X from April to June 2021. Set in a world of anthropomorphic animals, it tells the story of walrus taxi driver Hiroshi Odokawa, who converses with his passengers and learns about various mysteries and oddities occurring in Tokyo. These conversations get him involved in the strange disappearance of a schoolgirl, and that leads to him being followed by both the police and the yakuza.
Prior to its release, a manga series from Shogakukan (via Big Comics) began publication in January 2021, and was serialized in its Superior Dalpana magazine until July 2022. An anime film, titled Odd Taxi: In the Woods, was released in Japan in April 2022.
