Watch Thermae Romae Novae, appreciate onsen

The reason I put this in the Revice forum is because I feel like watching this anime will make you appreciate Japanese onsen and bathhouses in a way that Revice won't. The stuff with the Roman guy reacting to modern Japan is funny, but it also genuinely makes you appreciate the culture and aesthetic of these bathhouses. When I first found out about them, I thought they were weird and didn't want to bathe out in public, but onsen just sound so relaxing. In America, this anime can be found on Netflix

Fun Revice connection: The main character Lucius also voices Vail.

The one thing that should be mention that the end of the episode has a live action segment of the mangaka going to various onsens in Japan and talking about an aspect that was in the episode.

The end segments are super good and make me wish I was in Japan

I think the fact that he's voiced by Japanese Seto Kaiba is hilarious. It's like weirdly menacing even when he's not supposed to be
