However, in its series catalog we can find several hidden gems who tiptoed through the audience and that, with the passage of time, they have achieved a part of the affection that they always deserved.

Odd Taxi is one of the most obvious examples. A mystery anime starring anthropomorphic animals that addresses adult themes close to the viewer.
