Odd Taxi

I don't consider this weird at all. The "weirdest" thing about this is just the artstyle. Otherwise its basically a Film Noir / Detective like story except the Taxi Driver is the detective-protagonist who saw the crime (and has a perfect memory of his customer's faces). So as you go around the cast of characters and see where they want to go + their small talk with the Taxi Driver, you end up figuring out the mystery with the protagonist.

It does a very good job at making the city feel like a city, and making every taxi drive feel like its going somewhere. Obviously there's red herrings to throw you off of the core mystery. But everything felt appropriate and actually relatively mundane.

Like seriously: the "weirdest" character is a rapping Yakuza / gangster who puts too much effort into making things rhyme. Nothing else about this show is "weird". Its like, good (but dumb) cop, bad corrupt cop, unexpected Yakuza / gangsters, pop-idols, fanboys, dumbass (failing) Youtubers, Gachapon Whale, unpopular Radio comedian duo, dumbass friend who gets catfished and of course the titular character: the Taxi Driver.

If anything, I'm surprised at how incredibly mundane the whole situation is and yet how awesome the story was told. Its a murder mystery in a big city, but as it turns out this Taxi Driver is surprisingly at the center of it all as his list of customers happens to line up with the entire damn mystery.
