Thermae Romae Novae
Channel: Netflix South Africa
TX Time: 10h00 (all episodes)
Genre: Anime
A proud bath architect in ancient Rome starts randomly surfacing in present-day Japan, where he's inspired by the many bathing innovations he finds.
The Roman Empire stood at the summit of the ancient world.
For the Romans who brought glory to their nation, thermae (baths) were an essential part of their lives.
Lucius follows in the footsteps of his father and grandfather to become a bathhouse designer.
However, when he is fired for his design ideas being deemed too stale, Lucius's future as a bathhouse designer is in doubt.
One day, he is sucked into a large drain at the public baths and ends up flowing down a rapid to... none other than a Japanese bathhouse.
Unaware that he has traveled through time, Lucius is moved by Japanese bathhouse culture, including the wall murals and fruit milk drinks.
He brings these items that enhance the bathing experience back to ancient Rome and becomes a popular bathhouse designer.
