Such a fantastic, extremely underrated review. The writing is Breaking-Bad level great, the pacing is as tight as Queen's Gambit, the characters are as rich and quirky as Fargo, and the banter are Tarantino-esque. If this was a live-action show, I can see Scorcese helming the director's role. There criminal underbelly and mystery drives the plot and the darker vibe makes this more than just a cutesy anthramorphic animal show. And even that aspect raises questions with the main character, Odokawa the taxi driving walrus.
There's a lot more to this show than at first glance.
