Thermae Romae Novae

I recommend watching this show. It is basically about a bathhouse architect, going forwards in time to different eras of Japan, fascinated by the bathhouse culture of the country and tries his best to replicate the culture back home.

Although the main character was kind of unaware that he actually went forwards in time in different eras of another far-off eastern country, his reactions about the technological advances in the places he ended up in was quite funny.

Really loving this art work and unique storyline. Big fan of hand drawn animation styles and anime. Reminds me a lot of jojo franschise. Bonus short scenes at the end of every episodes brings us to the journey for hot water springs around japan together with the friendly and talented author herself. Cant wait for her other projects in future. Highly recommended.

I loved seeing the architecture, urbanism, and societies in Ancient Rome and Japan. Seeing such beautiful cultures through this story was captivating, fun, and inspiring. I didn't like the first episode, but I loved the rest.

This show is really crazy. The comic builds up more as the episodes progress. The animation quality is okay. The writer Mari Yamazaki and specially the voice actor Tsuda Kenjiro deserve all the credit. The emotions TK expresses with his voiceovers are beyond outstanding. Given how dumb the concept is, i really admire how much effort both MY and TK have put in the show. I feel like the writer wants to tell her audience to think of all the therapeutic benefits of taking a nice bath. Her pilgrimage trips at the end of each episodes will definitely turn into popular tourist spots. I think people should give this show a try.

That's all. It is an anime that follows a formula every episode but I mean it's very good. The anime is about thermas, bath houses and you feel like you're entering one watching an episode, it's good, really good.
