From the "Odd Taxi in the Woods" movie, scene photos of some of the characters in "Odd Taxi" that have a particularly "bad vibe" have been released.

The film features many unique characters, including the main character, cab driver Odogawa, but some of them have an air of danger about them. The recently released new shots of the characters in the film are disturbing and mysterious, but the scene photos released this time create an even more dangerous atmosphere.

The character of Yano is a tricky one, with his elegant suit, black gloves, and tousled haircut, and he always speaks in rhyming rap style. The character.
The scene in which Yano, a gangster in a bad way, indignantly says something to someone is a new cut from the play that is being shown for the first time.
At first glance, he appears to be pleasant, but in fact he is a very intelligent and cold-hearted man. What on earth is Yano angry about and what is he saying? And what is Sekiguchi, his younger apprentice, thinking as he folds his arms and looks on?

Dobu, who is Yano's senior but is at odds with him, holds up a gun with a frozen expression on his face.
He is as strong as a professional fighter, so why on earth is he holding a gun? What in the world is at the end of that muzzle ......?

Sekiguchi, who is bigger and older than Yano but is his prefect's younger brother, is holding something like a baton and rushing forward with great vigor.
Sekiguchi is extremely strong in fights. Who is it that he attacks with such fighting spirit?

Yamamoto, manager of the idol group "Mystery Kisses," is making a phone call with a grim expression on his face.
What is hidden in that expression, which does not seem to be that of a manager of an idol group!

All of the scene photos give off a rather dangerous atmosphere!
Despite its cute appearance, "Odd Taxi" is a rather suspenseful story. In this movie version, 17 people involved in the case that the main character, Odogawa, was involved in testify about the incident.

Daisuke Hiraga, who served as the film's producer, commented on the "highlights" of the film version: "The film is structured in such a way that viewers can feel the excitement of peeking behind the scenes of a series of incidents. The accompaniment has also been mixed in 5.1ch for the movie, so that the audience can enjoy the powerful sound that only a theater can provide. I also hope you will pay attention to the continuation of the shocking end of the TV series. As always, the staff's sense of playfulness is everywhere, so please enjoy the film until the end of the end rolls.

Odd Taxi in the Woods: The Movie" recreates the animated TV series, but from a new perspective, depicting "Odd Taxi" in a new light.

How will the characters, with their suspicious and dangerous atmosphere, affect the story? And what will happen "after the shocking final episode" that the producer wants us to pay attention to?　We hope you will find out at the theater.
