Thermae Romae Novae

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.

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.

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.

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.

The idea is nice, the episodes are short and watchable, and Ms. Yamazaki's short documentaries at the end are very interesting.

It has a few flaws - not much happens in the episodes, and the formula quickly becomes repetitive. While there is an overall plot, there's just not much of it.

(And I guess, a cultural quibble: an ancient Roman would not overwork himself like a Tokyo salaryman - it would be undignified for a well-bred free man of means).

That said, it was fun to watch.
