Thermae Romae Novae

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.

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.

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.

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.
