“When Roman architect Lucius is criticized for his “outdated” thermae designs, he retreats to the local bath to collect his thoughts. All Lucius wants is to recapture the Rome of earlier days, when one could enjoy a relaxing bath without the pressure of merchants and roughhousing patrons. Slipping deeper into the warm water, Lucius is suddenly caught in the suction and dragged through the drainage at the bottom of the bath! He emerges coughing and sputtering amid a group of strange-looking foreigners with the most peculiar bathhouse customs…over 1,500 years in the future in modern-day Japan! His contemporaries wanted him to modernize, and so, borrowing the customs of these mysterious bath-loving people, Lucius opens what quickly becomes the most popular new bathhouse in Rome-Thermae Romae!” (Yen Press)

Witness a proud Roman architect who gets transported into modern Japan, being (delightfully) bamboozled by the concept of bathhouses and bidets. Yes, we are talking about Mari Yamazaki's manga masterpiece, "Thermae Romae," which has been adapted into an animated Netflix series named "Thermae Romae Novae." Yes, this is a bath-time-travel comedy, which is exactly what the world needs right now, as the central protagonist embarks on a wondrous journey of discovery, all the while wrapped in confusion and amazement.

Netflix unveiled teaser art for a handful of upcoming anime projects during a morning panel at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival today. The streamer also discussed the anime feature expansion of hit Netflix series The Witcher, The Witcher: Nightmare Of The Wolf which showrunner and executive producer Lauren Schmidt-Hissrich said will be a prequel about “what it takes to become a witcher.”
The original fantasy series has been a big success for the streamer and centers on Henry Cavill as the grim Geralt of Rivia, the bane of supernatural beasties. The series story follows the intertwined destinies of three individuals in the vast world of The Continent, where humans, elves, witchers, gnomes, and monsters battle to survive and thrive, and where good and evil is not easily identified.
The film will focus on Geralt’s mentor Vesemir, how Geralt became a witcher and “how did he learn the things...

As streamers continue to carve out their niches for specialized content, Netflix has established a firm foothold in original anime production of both established and original IP. On Tuesday morning, the platform outlined a group of exciting upcoming titles, headlined by the hugely anticipated “The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf” animated spinoff, in a pre-recorded Studio Focus panel, streamed as part of the Annecy Film Festival.
In “The Witcher,” one of Netflix’s most popular original series to date, Henry Cavill plays Geralt of Rivera, the outcast monster hunter who is loathed by most he comes across and willing to do dangerous and unsavory work for pay, earning himself a guarded admiration from some he’s helped. But, before Geralt came Vesemir, a headstrong young witcher who relishes his job and the earthly benefits he reaps in doing what others can’t or won’t. Seemingly unshakable, Vesemir will face...

Japan's biggest film is a kooky, cross-cultural time-travel yarn. What does it say about the country's hugely influential cinema?
Viewed from nine time zones away, Japan's current No 1 film, Thermae Romae, seems to be yet another example of the scintillating oddities of the like only that country produces. Adapted from Mari Yamazaki's award-winning manga, it's about a browbeaten architect in ancient Rome who finds an unexpected source of ideas: his local steam bath conceals a time tunnel that leads to a modern-day Japanese bathhouse. He greets the scrawny patrons as "flat-faced slaves" – then the film sets out to ask what 21st-century society could ever do for this Roman. Well, fruit-flavoured milk and vibrating tummy toners, for starters.
The film looks great. And, propelled by the country's undying obsession with outsiders, it's gone like the clappers at the Japanese box office, having become the top-grossing release of the year so far.

Not surprisingly, I haven’t read the manga that director Hideki Takeuchi’s upcoming time-traveling adventure “Thermae Romae” is based on, but it sounds like something I would thoroughly enjoy. After all, it combines two seemingly unrelated items — in this case, time travel and bath houses — and smashes them together in a way that sounds both intriguing and mildly confusing. Either way, my curiosity has been piqued. Check out this synopsis: Based on a manga by Mari Yamazaki, the movie stars Hiroshi Abe as an ancient Roman bath house design engineer named Lucious who—while desperately seeking inspiration for a new idea—gains the ability to slip back and forth through time from the public bath in ancient Rome to a bath house in modern day Japan.

The official website for Hideki Takeuchi’s upcoming live-action adaptation of Thermae Romae has been updated with a trailer.
Based on a manga by Mari Yamazaki, the movie stars Hiroshi Abe as an ancient Roman bath house design engineer named Lucious who—while desperately seeking inspiration for a new idea—gains the ability to slip back and forth through time from the public bath in ancient Rome to a bath house in modern day Japan.
Through his encounters with the “flat-faced clan” (his unfortunate name for the Japanese people) he encounters, he discovers that they too share a love of baths and becomes so fascinated with their innovations that he decides to “invent” them in his own time. Meanwhile, he meets a young Japanese manga artist named Mami (Aya Ueto) and ends up taking her on a wild adventure through time.

Hiroshi Abe and Aya Ueto have been cast in the live-action adaption of Mari Yamazaki’s award-winning manga Thermae Romae.
The comedy revolves around an ancient Roman bath house architect named Lucius (Abe) who’s hard up for new ideas. In the search for inspiration, he time-travels to various baths in modern-day Japan.
Ueto will co-star as Mami, a cute Japanese woman and aspiring manga artist whom Lucius would refer to as part of the “flat-faced tribe”.
“I want to play the flat-faced tribe representative Mami with all my might so that I won’t lose,” Ueto proclaimed enthusiastically.
Hideki Takeuchi (Nodame Cantabile) is directing and Shogo Muto (Crows Zero) handled the screenplay.
Filming began in Rome on March 14 at a huge open-air set at Cinecittà film studio.
Live-action film adaptations of popular manga typically suffer some criticism, but the creator of the original work seems confident.
