"Most plans are critically flawed by their own logic. A failure at any step will ruin everything after it. That's just basic cause and effect. It's easy for a good plan to fall apart. Therefore, a plan that has no attachment to logic cannot be stopped."
Okay so I don't have Crunchyroll premium so I can't talk about the most recent episodes (and also had to avoid reading the last page or so) but I just wanted to chime in and say that the opening for this show loving slaps. Like, the smoothest goddamn thing I've heard all year. Give Skirt and Punpee some sort of award for that poo poo.

Also, while the dialog has some similarities to Tarantino, specifically Pulp Fiction (heavy use of outside references the audience is just expected to understand, weirdly civil conversations even in tense moments, etc.), I'd actually compare Oddtaxi more strongly to the Coen Brothers, but not quite as full-on comedic, if I had to make a comparison to western media. The way all these different characters connect, their motivations, and how it all somehow links to a single central event is reminiscent of Burn After Reading, in particular, and I have a feeling it will end in a similar fashion.
