The fact that in every moment in the show and every trailer he was included in, Yano was portrayed to be this mysterious, menacing figure, with his voice never shown and even with a fittingly mysterious voice actor...and after all of this buildup, his debut is him crashing into Odokawa with his scooter and then aggressively rapping at him telling him to apologize....this anime is absolutely legendary
@@Woodside235 if you are talking about the sus incident the word sus has been used way before among us memes such as in the world ends with you a Japanese game made by square enix.
Yeah wow! And I also think since the kanji for "ya" in his name means "arrow" so it might also be connected to him being a porcupine, which has spikes/needles.
He also says things like "Ore Mo Iya No" which means "I'm fed up" along with things like "Ore Ga Yano" which just means "I'm Yano". It's a play on words because they sound extremely similar when said fast in a rap. It's a triple layer meaning!
Yano's introduction is easily the funniest thing about oddtaxi, before this, the only place you really saw him was at the opening and when he actually appears in the anime he does this, with absolutely no warning
Yano’s the type of dude who cares about having a seven-step skin care routine that’s paraben free, but also uses two dollar noir-scented Gorilla Snot standing gel
If you didn't watch these before. I HIGHLY recommend Baccano! and Durarara, both have similar story structure and are set in the same universe with each other.
@@Animation1000 Hope you enjoy them! I recommend watching Baccano in Dubbed tho cause of the setting it takes place in and the Voice acting in it is really well done.
@@almightygod87 I always watch anime dubbed lol, what is so unfortunate is that when a brand new series emerges you gotta wait like 3-6 months on average for them to incorporate a dubbed version. I hope that Odd Taxi will get a dubbed version soon. Yeah, I'll start watching those anime soon, hopefully ill enjoy them! :)
I thought for sure Odokawa was about to get into a rap battle. If it had been Shirakawa (his favorite girl) he would have matched her word for word. Every conversation he has with her is a battle of heart and mind.
We have them. Cowboy Bebop, Great Pretender and ODD TAXI are part of a sub-category which anime based-off western culture belongs to. Actually, I don't know too much about it, but just look for the creator of Cowboy Bebop and you'll find a little bunch of Seinen series very different from most mainstream products. You could also just search for Seinen anime in general, like "Erased".
@@Spaghetto9699 I don't think it has lived up to the first episode yet. The first is episode is essentially perfect, but that means the rest of the episodes will be slight disappointments. I don't think it can get better from the 1st episode.
I recommend this anime to anyone. Clever and interesting, intellectually stimulating yet funny. Characters speak like normal humans, none of that anime-style squeeling. Lots of references etc.
This anime is pure love. I wish they had more cute animal animes like this but with serious tones. Instead we get beast stars...not my cup of tea. I prefer this style and type of story telling; makes the story that much more intense and emotional when you connect to the different cute animals. Kind of like aggretsuko. You tend to root for your favorite character too. The animals in this anime are so varied too, not just cute cat and bunny girls. Love the taxi driver and that he's a walrus. ♡♡♡

That guy is Yano?
@@lilacpilot3437 yeah he is yano. You see him beating kakiwana
Yes.
He's riding a scooter in the intro in a very care-free way
He's portrayed in the opening
Props to the subtitler making the extra effort to make the lines rhyme at the same time.
Who Crunchyroll doesn’t pay
@@venangoproductions Crunchyroll would rather spend money paying people to add memes into dubs.
@@Woodside235 if you are talking about the sus incident the word sus has been used way before among us memes such as in the world ends with you a Japanese game made by square enix.
@@cian025 I'm not talking about any specific incident. It happens often.
@@Woodside235 You mean subs right, Nagatoro wasn’t dubbed
7 episodes of waiting to meet this guy, I was expecting pretty much anything but this.
Way more terryfying than what I could imagine.
Killer Bee vibes, right?
@@gustavomarcondes3908 Killer bee is much more mellow. This guy on the other hand is brutal!
Didn't expect this at all, fell in love with the character immediately
Me too
Same here
I've never seen an anime character say so much but so little at the same time.
That's a custom in real life.
Watch Snafu’s Council President talk
Just watch any politician answering questions. talk a lot, yet say so little.
Watch Monogatari
He's such a cool looking character
i bet his name is "yano" because it's "ya know?!" in english and he says "ya know?!" indignantly at least a couple times
WOAAAHHH this makes absolutely senseeee
Masterful play on words lol
damn this is probably tru
Yeah wow! And I also think since the kanji for "ya" in his name means "arrow" so it might also be connected to him being a porcupine, which has spikes/needles.

the little "yeah" yano does as he scooters away is hilarious
I wasn't expecting for this character to talk in rap rhymes....... I thought he was going to have a soft/serious voice.
Honestly same, I was shocked. I just love the characters cause they remind of the cast from Durarara and the Toaru series alike.
Me: *sings in rap*
The opening made him looks like a serious teenager
@@dsouza773 Yeah instead he is a 27 rhyming man lol
Cause he has a lot of guns and he can shoot them good, he's a menace from society, a boy on the hood
Each episode has me craving for more I enjoy how everything is connected to the story
I want to say something

that transition from pedestrian to mobster though
He does say that violence is his business. Ah, sorry, I meant rap, not say :P
Yano’s the type of dude who cares about having a seven-step skin care routine that’s paraben free, but also uses two dollar noir-scented Gorilla Snot standing gel
so true
“LOVE ME TENDER” Yano is the best
What a hidden gem, why r decent animes so underrated. We need more shows like this fr.

Yano is great because he is at all times both the most entertaining and most dangerous character in any scene he's in.
The single dude applauding absolutely made my day.
I thought for sure Odokawa was about to get into a rap battle. If it had been Shirakawa (his favorite girl) he would have matched her word for word. Every conversation he has with her is a battle of heart and mind.
I love how realistic and down-to-earth the dialogue in this show is, unlike the over-the-top style of other anime
God in heaven I hope he never stops

The fact that Crunchyroll has a whole rap moments playlist with this in it
Lol I know he’s a villain but the fact that he’s always singing just makes him funny
Sounds like simply speaking in rhymes.
@@0deadx21 lol that’s what I mean
@@Whalev1 He was not singing.
@@0deadx21 he’s rapping hence the title. Rapping & singing are both talking rhythmically so they are simpler things even though they are not identical
The introduction of Yano it's amazing 😂
@@0deadx21 my bad
Yano is my spirit animal

Subs did a great job of trying to rhyme. Also the VA nailed it.
Meteor (the VA) is a pro-freestyler irl.
I read someplace that it’s his first voice acting role, and I think he absolutely killed it 🔥
Meteor is a legend

Animes similar to this is not a rare thing its just that they usually dont get much attention outside Japan.
@@davidedalterio4979 odd taxi, cowboy bebop and great pretender while all very very good animes have very different feel to them.
I like the think he has a speaker on him that produced the beat he raps to.
pretty sure he does cause the beat slowly gets quieter as he scooters away instead of abruptly dissapearing

This episode cemented it for me, easily anime of the season.
You ever bump into someone, then get barraged with bars?
I want to meet the real life equivalent of Yano someday, that would be just amazing...
@@kwabzycomposer as much as I love yano, I feel like meeting him is the last thing one would want
« Love me Tender » incredible 😂😭
Even without yakuza backup, Yano would still wreck people just by dropping bars
Yano is my favourite character in this show.
He is just such a funny character.
His voice actor needs a raise.
Best show of the season hands down
*Cough cough* To Your Eternity is looking mighty fine though buddy *Cough cough*
No it ain't

By the end of his rap I found myself swaying. Dude's a contagious vibe.
I appreciate that the sub titles are still proper rap lyrics
1:48 the one person who tried to start a slow clap and gave up
My man got bars for days
this series is a wonderful gift in a cruel world
I recommend this anime to anyone. Clever and interesting, intellectually stimulating yet funny. Characters speak like normal humans, none of that anime-style squeeling. Lots of references etc.
best rap i've ever seen in sub
We need a Yano spin-off!
Oh my gosh, YES.
I totally agree, that would be awesome.
Seeing a Yano spin-off would make my heart blossom.
Edit: See what I did there 😏
a Yano & Dobu early yakuza days would be fun to watch
the best part is when he says love me tender for no reason
Entirely to make a rhyme work, and to express his gratitude. Polite for the ruthless Mafia leader.
His rap is way more menacing once is confirmed he is Yano, Odokawa almost gets a bullet in the brain 😫
But his one rule… he’s capping
This anime is too slept on. Should be more popular
Even for him, that was strange

I just watched a porcupine rap to a walrus (i think he’s a porcupine?) . What a wonderful world we live in
I could watch this guy rap talk for day's
I really hope this gets a second season despite its lackluster ratings
I don't know how many times I have replayed this.
Top ten rappers eminem is affraid to diss
I was in Osaka on Halloween. It was pretty fun actually.
Love this anime! Totally underrated.
Finally crunchyroll giving Odd Taxi some love
"lova me tenda"
Don't forget "havu a haato"!😂
Odokawa should have just walked away once the rapping started.
por fin otro clip de oddtaxi esto dibuja una sonrisa en mi cara
Best moment of the season.
He do be spittig hot bars
This made me side with Dobu
now why the h*ck this isn't on the OST
My thoughts exactly.
Went to search for the backing track, can't find it.
His rap in Episode 8 is even better!
i love yano so much . hes good

This is what hooked me on this show. Friend showed me it lol
1:45
*Y e a h*
*L A V A M E T E N D A*
If everyone says you shouldn't ride a scooter in a crowd but you continue to ride your scooter through crowds maybe you're the problem.
I wish someone would bump into me and then start freestyle rapping.
No you don't. You'd be sitting there for like 15 minutes.
Odokawa, Dobu and Yano are 10/10
That scooter guy is how my back feels right now
I am in so much pain
God I love this anime. Yano is my favorite man
Best scene in the serie
That was some pretty sweet rap
The first time I saw it, I thought it was just Odakawa's bad dream
he is both enjoyable and utterly annoying at the same time :D
Love me tender 🔥
I need the instrumental for this!!!! 😩😩😩😩
i was nearly crying when he said people loose their minds on halloween
Odokawas voice actor is the same as tanjiro's, crazy
Yep people lose their minds during Halloween
So who had to pause it to see what he was saying
The rap rhythm sounds a bit like the song “Batman on drugs” lol
LoVe Me TeNdEr~
I love this rap
I was so confused think I missed on what he was saying few times
The best part is that odokawa could completly destroy yano at this but he choose not to 🤣

If there is going to be a live-action adaptation of ODDTAXI, then Lin-Manuel Miranda needs to fill his role.
Yo if Raymond from ACNH had a Japanese VA this is what he would sound like.
When you watch 8 mile once:
Oof is the song in the OST? It's really nice
top 10 rappers eminem was afraid to diss
He’s the killer bee of odd taxi😂
can't get this theme out of my head, what's the name? can't find it in the ost 🎵
damn he's spittin
