Speaking of odd taxi actually, I really love how it does the whole anthropomorphic animal world thing- everyone is familiar with similar stories, especially from childhood, where you're not really meant to question the fact that some animals are People while others are just Animals. You're not really meant to dwell on the fact that there's pets, the fact that people eat meat, and the fact that the society they live in doesn't really have special animal accommodations. Everything is the same as the human world, the animal part is aesthetic. There are darker subversions to this trope, like Beastars which brings these questions to the forefront, but that's NOT what odd taxi is. You're not meant to think about it, and take it at face value. The show is BANKING on the fact that you're used to overlooking these questions from previous media, in order to properly foreshadow its twist. You can pick up on it, but it can still absolutely surprise you in a way that makes TOTAL sense in retrospect.
