Great Selection Taxi is currently streaming on major platforms, and it delivers exactly the kind of comedy that earns a loyal following. Across 1 season, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. 13 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Yutaka Takenouchi is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. There is no real reason to keep putting it off.

There is a reason Great Selection Taxi keeps coming up in conversation. The jokes in Great Selection Taxi land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Edawakare is the driver of Sentaxi, a marvellous vehicle which is able to take a passenger back to his or her “life’s turning point”. His cool appearance is at odds with his talkative, meddlesome, sweet-toothed character. He gives advice to passengers who are flustered after failing in their life’s choice. Between them, Yutaka Takenouchi and Bakarhythm carry the comedy without ever forcing it. It was aired in 2014. The timing in Great Selection Taxi is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Great Selection Taxi respects your intelligence. Fans of Taxi will recognise the sensibility here immediately. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Yutaka Takenouchi anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
