Thermae Romae Novae

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.

Love every bits of it. Very well done. Love the old school style of animation. Everyone need to watch it. Its such a little gem of hot spring. Japanese hot spring is always a little gift from the past. I would love to visit japan one day.

It's a fantastic show, filled with good wholesome humor. Goofy character devolpment It's really something different that stands out in the genre.

At the end of each episode we get a snippet of the manga artist visiting the hotsprings that inspired her to make this. It's truly fascinating. The artistic style of the show is good. It's worth watching if you're in the mood for something different and offbeat.

If you like both modern Japan and Ancient Rome then this little series is perfect for you. It's well made, entertaining and quite funny. There is an overall plot but it's more about bathhouses and bath culture, and the short documentaries at the end of each episode add to that feeling. Ancient Rome is portrayed beautifully in the anime part.

I definitely recommend it!

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.
