■The dialogue of "real" animals in the cities we usually live-"Odd Taxi"
"Odd Taxi" is the original anime written by Konomoto Kazuya, who became popular for also writing the dramas including "Setoutsumi" and "Black School Rule".
The protagonist is a tax driver with a seal-like appearance called Kotogawa. As a driver, he only picks up unique customers, including a university student who wants to become popular on the internet, a nurse who is trying to hide something, and a pair of comedians who cannot become popular enough. The conversation with those customers will bring you to the mystery of a lost girl.
Hanae Natsuki will play Kotogawa this time. He recently appeared in "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" as Kamado Tanjirou, and "Kaibutsu Jihen" as Tademaru Shiki, and he often plays energetic male characters. Contrary to that trend, he is going to play a 41-year old man, and he "was excited" and "felt as if it was a new challenge" for him.
Other than him, many wonderful experienced cast, including Kimura Ryouhei, Yamaguchi Kappei, Mimori Sukuzo, and Saitou Souma, are going to play various animals in the anime.
"Odd Taxi" is going to be broadcast from 2:00 AM of Apr. 5, 2021 on TV Tokyo and other channels.

The characters are a mixture of 15 flavors from Blue Seal and actual animals that exist in the real world, including "bears", "capybaras", "river otters", and "pandas", and are given the special name "icecrin".
Vanillan melts his own body with sweat, a reckless Chocon and other characters will be played by Kadawa Taeko, Origasa Tomiko, Senbongi Ayaka, and Obara Konomi, and narration will be done by Takahashi Shigeo from a comedian tag called Savanna.
