If you're looking for anime similar to Odd Taxi, you might like these titles.
Looking for a change, Mikado moves from the countryside to bustling Ikebukuro to attend the same high school as his best friend, Masaomi. Though navigating a new school and friendships can prove tough by itself, Mikado also finds an overwhelming number of new delights and dangers in the district he now calls home. From a friendly Russian sushi bar to the violent color gangs, to even an urban legend in the form of a black motorcycle rider, each resident of Ikebukuro is unique and frightening. But the town is smaller than it seems at first, and these strange events appear to be connected. Will the growing storm sweep up the transplanted country boy and his friends or will Mikado find himself at the center of a dramatic change for Tokyo?

Both shows feature ensemble casts in urban environments involving working people and mundane conversations that all connect to larger mysteries.
They are pretty similar. The fact that is some mistery thing in both ways, and that have colors
Both anime revolve around dialogue and little connections you probably can't see at first but eventually everything just clicks. Both have that urban mystery vibe and both keep you deeply invested in the plot and characters.
those are both very alike, I am sure if you liked one you will like the other as well, so if you're looking for similiar anime go for it
When I got to the latter half of Odd Taxi, I thought this had very similar vibes to another show - Durarara. Both shows have an ensemble cast whose stories eventually connect. Everyone in the show is written with distinct relationships and distinct motives, which push the story forward. There's also a mystery that plays in the background of both shows. Odd Taxi is more grounded, and Durarara is wild and bombastic. Both are great.
It's the 1930s, and Mafia groups fight for supremacy in American cities. Young Firo joins the secretive Camorra group; a meek street boy, Jacuzzi, finds himself the leader of a gang of thugs; an alchemist is producing a liquor of immortality, and a homunculus tries to retrieve it; and upbeat thieves Isaac and Miria head to New York after failing to strike gold in California. They ride the novel train, the Flying Pussyfoot, across the continent. However they find themselves embroiled in a ruckus caused by gangs, terrorists, serial killers, and others as multiple stories intertwine and unfold on this fateful ride. All are haunted and hunted by the legendary Rail Tracer...

Odd Taxi and Baccano! use the same kind of story telling. They present a mystery with a large cast, slowly revealing how each person and situation is connected. If you're a fan of this type of slow reveal you'll most likely enjoy both shows.
Both are filled with large casts of quirky characters who are all ultimately connected and tied together in some way - regardless of if they know it or not. Both weave together a narrative where all the elements click into place near the end and show a mass of connections between characters and plot elements. Plus, both have a somewhat noir feel to them.
Both excellent, atmospheric mysteries with large casts full of complicatred and likeable characters. For that matter, watch the Fargo TV show.

Both series follow a cast of adorable and simplistic looking anthropomorphic characters going though real world scenarios that would resonate with an older demographic.
Both focus on the different and interesting relationships that each of core characters have with each other. The dialogue with both series also feels really natural.
Just keep in mind the Aggretsuko is more comedy focused with serious moments, while Odd Taxi is more serious with small bits of comedy here and there.
If you like anthropomorphic animals accompanied by a more realistic setting with some drama, these would do.
Both of theses feel verry sinumare with thier attatude with the story and the overall animals insterd of people thing (/*^*)/
While the tone of these two shows differs (one being more humourous, while the other is more serious), they have a lot in common and I believe that if you liked Aggretsuko or Odd Taxi, you'd like the other as well. Both shows:

Both shows have anthropomorphic animals that are thrust into dark crime mysteries. Each show has a quiet and introverted main character who is spearheading the investigation, sometimes unwillingly. Despite investigation, both anime toy with the idea that our main protagonist is the culprit. Each show also makes great use of the supporting cast, as most characters remain in the story even beyond their focused episodes/scenes.

Similar in that several characters and plot lines are started, and by the end the mystery is unraveled and everything comes together and you can see the big picture.
Odd Taxi have a lot of exciting cliffhangers, just as ID invaded. It's all about mysteries that resolves at the end of the show, each episodes being a rollercoaster of emotions.

Odd Taxi is more grounded than Paranoia Agent, but there's plenty of uneasy atmosphere, social commentary and unexpected comedy in both. Not much else like these shows!
