Odd Taxi anime takes place in an animal-centric world; it portrays human traits and nature more than most other anime. However, each character resembles a typical kind of person, their desires, and their fears.
In Episode 2, Odokawa, the middle-aged taxi driver who almost gave up on the thought of ever getting married, got asked out by the cute and charming Shirakawa-san.
However, things didn’t go as expected when Dobu, the most wanted criminal, suddenly entered his taxi with a revolver pointing at him. What does he want from an ordinary taxi driver?
Moreover, will he be able to meet Shirakawa in time? We bring you the latest episode updates for this anime.
1. Episode 3 Preview and Speculation
Episode 3 is titled “Borrowed Plumes and the Bodyguard.” In the preview, we see Odakawa and Dobu having a chat, with Dobo’s revolver still pointed at him.
I think the two are talking about the kidnapping that took place a few days ago. Odokawa must have got involved in it somehow or witnessed something that he shouldn’t have.
Don’t worry much about Odokawa’s date; the preview confirmed that he would get to meet Shirakawa in time. But can he make the most out of it? I guess we have to wait for the next episode to find it out

3. Episode 2 Recap
In Episode 2, Shirakawa hires Odokawa’s taxi for a ride back home. The fact that a nurse is resorting to a taxi confuses him a bit.
Soon, Shirakawa starts asking him a bunch of personal information. It kind of felt like an interview, but the conversation went smoothly, and they start to get to know each other.
Surprisingly, Shirakawa expresses her liking towards Odokawa and asks him out for dinner or lunch sometime. Odokawa reluctantly agrees to the date; he never expected to get asked out in his forties.
Meanwhile, at an idol singer Rui Nikaidou’s concert, fans are diligently taking her autographs and clicking pictures with her. Imai, a fan who followed the idol group from their first show, was the last one to meet her.
Although the idol group is slowly losing its popularity, Imai is that one constant visitor to all their concerts and never misses to buy their merchandise, even if he had to rely on lottery tickets for it.
Coincidentally, he boards into Odokawa’s taxi to reach home, and casually shares a lot of his personal details with him. For example, what he likes, his financial condition, and how he manages to keep up with the expenses.
After dropping Imai, he gets ‘homo sapiens,’ a popular duo of radio jockeys, as his next customers. He instantly recognizes them from their voice as he always listens to their program while driving.
The two soon get into a quarrel regarding quitting their profession as comedians. Odokawa feels relieved after dropping them at their desired location.
As he was about to set out for his dinner with Shirakawa, Dobu, a most-wanted criminal gets into his taxi with a revolver pointed at him.

Odd Taxi is an original Japanese anime series produced by OLM, Inc. and P.I.C.S.. The series aired in Japan on April 6, 2021.
Odokawa is a taxi driver who lives an ordinary life and as a slightly eccentric stranger who has no relatives nor any relations with other people, Odokawa’s hobby is listening to Rakugo on the radio before going to bed.
Although, he does have a conversion with his customers – Kabasawa, a college student who wants a buzz, Shirakawa, a nurse who’s hiding something, comedian group Homo Sapiens, who isn’t selling well, and the city hoodlum Dobu.
The conversations with these people, which should not have meant much, lead to a girl who disappeared.
