Lucius is nothing short of a genius, imagine being able to look at an invention that defies your logic and being able to recreate it instantly
imagine slaves blowing bubbles in bath tub😅
@@viraj_singh ok except that part, you got me there. But the fuckin toilet THE TOOOILET
@@sovereign9708 in the manga the toilet used pressure from narrowing pipes but still required a slave to pump the water.
@@blazefreak. Wait this is a manga???
@zamie it's not even an isekai it's traveling in time
as an actual architect, the notion that a wife argues that her architect husband is always working seems to be a 1800 year old problem.
Then you have to be extra careful with your wife and friend
Cheat on her in self defense before she can cheat on you then.
@@Dylan-lw1xc yeah make out with your best friend instead so your wife won't
You all are f'ed in the head, lol
Architect here. That's correct lol
I love the premise of Japanese movies. They're not afraid to break logic and embrace weirdness. It's what makes them so interesting
This is based off a manga. There is an anime as well on Netflix.
@@bcd32dok36can you tell me the name of that anime?
@@ArafutoUzumakiIt has the same name as the movie
And they also pick some japanese actors with Jomon face looks to play roman citizens.
@@darthpapa696yeah the Japanese actor looks very southern European
Funny possibility is that Lucius didn't end up copying someone else's ideas, he ended up copying his own because he was the first to invent them in his time, which went on to become the inspirations for modern architecture which he "copied off of", creating an endless loop.
Basically Luscious only observed the inventions he didn't know how they actually worked, but making the almost exact thing with lesser resources(compared to modern time) is the thing that makes him a genius. More or less the fascinating thing was that had it been some other normal people moreover from any other random civilization, they would have had probably termed the healing hot springs, the massager and the toilet as merely some magic, it was the unique thinking of luscious who actually considered them mechanical, and thus replicated the creation to some extent, and moreover the education he might have had got as a citizen of roman empire.
Ancient Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, Indians, Chinese and Japanese were truly ahead of their times with their inventions and ways.
Try this: Lucius travels to the future......gets killed. Therefore, no toilets get invented.
@@cs2816 Cause of death?
This is actually so tru
@@u3581 gets roadkilled by a random truck on the streets
You say he is a failed architect because of his ideas but there is no way a person who can not only copy but figure the mechanics of high advanced structures and inventions is anything less than a genius !
Sometimes, a genius would only shine after a little surge of inspiration. This might be the case for Lucius
he made slaves blow bubbles
You have to be smart to copy
Yeah 👍
Ya
I love how very few of the Romans look suspiciously Japanese where it depends on how important their roles are to the movie.
The actor for Lucius himself is Japanese.
Like the roman emperor looking japanese, for example?
Turns out the ''flat faced tribe'' were the aristocracy of the Roman Empire.
Well it’s the same thing as 80% of western films starring Caucasian people when they shouldn’t historically look like that
@@theseagullwithteeth116 100% of the casting for medieval and ancient movies is wrong since all actors are just too tall for people of the time period.
I've watched the animated version of this series. It's absolutely stunning, especially since the voice actors did superb jobs.
i thoroughly enjoyed it. and there's a mini-segment at the end of every episode featuring japanese bathhouse culture.
That's its called?
@@WB-se6nz "thermae romae novae"
@@chrismill5303 that's season 2 I believe
Latrinae
I love how they depict the old emperor as a bad-ish guy but in reality Hadrian or Hadrianus was one of the greatest and well respected Roman emperors of all time
He wasn't appreciated as such during his lifetime tho
He was alright in the anime.
That's Machiavelli's nonsense. He was mediocre.
They found the most Roman looking Japanese actors out there, and I say "well done."
Wanted to point this out!
I think it's both this and his height that helps make him stand out. Lucius was also pretty tall in the manga to help emphasize how out of place he is in modern day Japan, so they went for the tallest actor they could find (the actor is around 6'2')
his ancestors are probably the Ainu
I think you mean "the most Roman looking from among the flat-faced tribe". 🤣
The first minute I watched this vid, I genuinely thought that it's Roman (Italian/western) movie, but when Lucius travelled to Japan, I instantly recognized this actor (forgot his name but very familiar with his face because I've watched many dorama of his)... like damn, his look totally nailed being a Roman. Now I notice that major characters in Roma are actually Japanese, but the make up and their facial features really help it.
I read this manga ages ago, i did not know it had a film.
I recommend it, it is really cool to see the similarities and differences between Japanese and ancient Rome bath culture.
It has an anime series now too, and didn't know it had a movie from 2012
Oohhh really what's the name of the anime. I wanna watch it also did this video talk about EVERYTHING in the anime/manga
@@greenislovley5641n I can't remember that well since I read it quite a few years ago, but I remember that the Manga had more arcs and detail to them, the female leads character was different and the ending was different as well. The film seemed pretty faithful in the general direction tho.
@@CharcoalNeko I personally can't help but lean more towards Mami as a love interest because she had a bigger character arc in the movie. Plus, Aya Ueto is friggin' adorable.
When you think about it, it makes sense since they have similar geographic features (in this case active volcanoes = hot springs = bath culture)
I watched this film on a flight to Malaysia some years ago. It's a Japanese film and is very funny. The comments regarding the Flat Faced tribe are not racist, the script is written in Japanese by Japanese script writers for Japanese people.
Is the flat face referring to Mongolians?
He is a very famous actor in Japan.
Imagine a famous Japanese actor observing Japanese culture in amazement.
so, it is very funny for Japanese people.
Man this protagonist character is really lucky, he can just travel to a different century and explore new thing then going back to his old century and invent things that are from the furure
It's like The fires of Pompeii David Tennant episode of Doctor Who. And the bad guy in that was also called Lucius.
a true architect can time travel.
future
@@aixo232 furure.... lol
By the I can't really change my name cuz... I don't even know sad 😕
I’m just gonna say that whoever made this story line was very creative we often overlook how hard it is to create an original story and honestly this just blew me away
It's a really cool woman obsessed with bathhouse culture.
It's based on a Manga with the same name. The manga itself is really engrossing.
only the japanese would get obsessed over bath house culture and features of toilets...the most messed up of all asians
It is pretty hard to get pot in Japan so probs to the writer 💕
Agreed. Hollywood just remakes movies over and over and over with each subsequent remake shittier than than the last.
"Lest darkness fall" is one of my favorite time travel books. Archeologist is struck by lightning and that's all the explanation given for why he's suddenly in 100 A.D. Rome. He invents brandy (!) a big money maker, teaches modern numbers and digital values for *double entry bookkeeping*, other stuff, eventually manages a resparking of the Roman Republic.
What makes it doubly interesting is that it was written just before WW II, when it seemed darkness was indeed falling over the world again.
535 AD not 100 AD
"I really wish i didnt have to keep narrating that term"🤣😍🤣🤣
Didn't know there's a film version of this. *A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!*
He took a bath a bit too long that he started to hallucinate 😂😂
Love how both Romans and Japanese people value good bath
Fun fact there was an anime adaption that came out a few months after this.
And then the new anime adaptation which came out recently
@@Scotladdie what's the name of it??
@@daisyle125 2012 anime adaptation name: Thermae Romae
2014 live action movie: Thermae Romae 2 (credit to jofx for this one I didn’t even know a second movie existed!)
2022 anime adaptation name: Thermae Romae Novae
they both also like enslaving neighbouring countries and torturing and killing the innocent
There is Thermae Romae II after I did search and a flash animation
Fun fact: in what is portrayed as Lucius’s Roman age, his name was probably pronounced something like “Lukius”. The softer C was a modification that occurred during early Middle Ages, and it still lives in Ecclesiastical Latin (and Italian).
there is no 'sh' sound in latin is there? im learning latin so i dont know much
@@aszneemabrotha7347 in Classical Latin (around 2000 years ago), C was most probably always pronounced as K. Its sound changed during medieval times to CH when C is before E and I, but then in old French it became a sort of SH. English pronunciation actually comes from old French, as a lot of other things.
His name is Luke then
@@fifthcolumn388 U ironically, there is a RUclipsr named Luke Ranieri, who speaks excellent Latin and delves into the details of this language. He often starts with "Ego sum Lucius Ranieri..."
I always argue with the swiss Germans, as a swiss Italian person, about latin pronunciation😅. Thank you for the information
''there are several ways, leading back to Rome'' love that one :)
Your videos are literally making me interested in new tv shows/movies.
Makes you wonder if really impressive inventors in the past are time travelers like him

What makes rome special is their concrete
Like seriously there are beautiful monuments all over the world but what makes rome special is they formulated "Roman concrete" when the rest of the world was using lime mortar
always important to remember that the pleasant climate in Rome during the era is a major reason it never spread. When Rome spread across more northern and western parts of Europe into much damper temperate climates such as Germanic territories and the British Isles they brought the concrete with them and it required constant upkeep with materials that had to be transported from Rome. This is a major reason why when Rome abandoned Britain, the villas and cities quickly fell to disrepair as the climate was not appropriate for such materials, we had neolithic monuments in England better preserved after thousands of years of exposure than the very hearts of Roman cities like Canterbury. Underfloor heating and large open ornate villas seems great when you have a massive empire and all its wealth and supply lines to maintain and staff the upkeep but once thats cut off such buildings fall to ruins within a generation and the ones that remain are torn down and replaced by less cold and costly buildings. Despite seeming far more simple, Anglo-Saxon huts faired much better in winter and during cold wet months and could be kept warm and repaired using only plentiful local materials. Following Norman rule after 1066 saw the construction of forts and castles make of flint and limestone, local materials suitable for the climate, rather than trying to imitate the withered remains of Roman fortifications across Europe.
A good more modern example is how during the height of the British Empire, rich colonial citizens exported hard wood and stone from Britain to arid desert colonies to make colonial buildings in the style of Victorian architecture, whilst technologically better than local cultures - the local style of building was far more suited to the climate and when the British Empire receded the colonial buildings became irreparable and fell to ruins.
@@_s_9920 I hate history, but sometimes reading things like this spark an interest in me.
@@_s_9920 Thank you for the history lesson. That was fascinating! Now, when someone says, "The buildings in Rome were so beautiful..." I can nod in agreement and then say, "Yes, they were but, did you know..." lol
@@pinheadlarry2506 why hate history? seriously man, have you ever heard of the old saying " Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it"?
@@ronnieman87 I guess I kinda phrased that wrong. I don’t necessarily hate history, I just find it boring at times. Occasionally though some topics of history will interest me.
Good review. I especially laughed at the way they make bubbles for the hot tub tub! You have a perfect voice for this type of narration; pleasant, engaging and entertaining - not distracting nor calling more nor less attention to you than is needed to fulfill your goal for the videos.
Not many people realize that it's voice generated by software.
@@honor9lite1337
The channel description says it’s an actual narrator though?
@@honor9lite1337 Wow! They have improved it! What brand do you use, if you wouldn't mind telling me. You never know when there might be a use for such a thing.
@@honor9lite1337 nah bro its his voice
@@honor9lite1337 the narrator is a real person he even shows his face in some videos but i forgot what videos
The man who plays Lucius is a Japanese actor (East Asian) that somehow looks his part as an ancient Roman (Southern European). He probably doesn't have the typical Japanese look, not to mention he's also pretty tall Japanese. But then Romans back then were short.
There is a small minority group called Ainu, they almost look 1to1 euroupean, they have a different culture and noted for being able to grow long thick beards. It assumed they were the original natives of the island.
the actor maybe is ainu.
@@Fourtytwo4242 He has no Ainu blood and is completely unrelated. Also, many foreigners misunderstand that the Ainu people are a completely different tribe from the Japanese people. The Japanese people are the result of interbreeding between Jomon people and Yayoi people, and people with stronger Jomon blood look like this. The Ainu people are an ethnic group created by interbreeding between Japanese people, who have strong Jomon blood, and Northern Okhotsk people.
@@user-xh5vz4ty8g Yep. People also classify two types of Jomon. Northern Jomon (Ainu) and Southern Jomon (Okinawans).
@@user-xh5vz4ty8g It just that Majority of Japanese mainlanders have more Yayoi blood than Jomon.
youre amazing! today is much harder to find any movies like this! good channel, thanks! ❤
Unironically one of the best Manga i have read in a long time.
It's short, sweet, pretty historically accurate as far as i could tell, and creative.

Can u tell me the name of the manga?

i love these "people from the past travel to the future" movies. please do more of them!
Are you directly talking to the movie industry?
@@cdemr it seems like he rather have a youtube video explain a similar movie instead of searching for one and actually watch it
Thank you. Just like many, I wouldn’t have known to watch this movie. Artists share different getting creative processes and sometimes it becomes too mechanical and we plateau. Best way to become open minded again is studying other artist’s processes and their specific resulting artwork, to remind us in abstract of what being open felt like and how we juice it to the last drop before moving on to the next project in an adopted behavioral pattern. This movie captured his artistic cycle and the motives behind its inspiration and re inspirations a few times and did them all very well. As well as the summery here that didn’t edit those feelings out summarizing probably 95% of the movie in a very meaningful and efficient time.
Finally! Been wanting someone anybody to creat a movie/story where someone from the past comes to the present. Just for the curiosity of our modern days.
I don't think many understand the quirkiness of Japanese movies.I love their movie so much bcoz these people "think outside the box" and anything is possible.
Then you're definitely a geek or nerd.
Metal gear rising revengance one of the best examples
It has batshit insane story
@@hello-gx6oi STANDING HERE I REALIZZZZZZE
copied comment
Fun fact, the actor who plays Lucius is actually Japanese. His name is Hiroshi Abe.
No shit. Its easy to tell.
An unironic crush of mine, my dude aged like fine wine
Another fun fact: That is the same dude who yelled Godzilla's name in Godzilla 2000
The emperor (and some other characters) also looks like he is played by a Japanese man.
Could've fooled me i thought he was probably from Southern Europe but is facial features kinda make sense since the average Japanese person have anywhere from 10-30% Jomon-Ainu dna and if you look up what Ainu or what the Jomon looked you'd see that they closely resembled Europeans despite being more related to Tibetans than to modern Europeans
It's very obvious...I was looking for a comment who would point out why a Roman looks very Japanese lol
"Don't know whether the movie was too good or you explained it amazingly"
Lucius-san is clearly japanese himself. This makes the whole charade 2 times as funny!
The scenes in Rome look so good OMG, the sets and the architecture look amazing.
It was filmed in Cinecittà, Rome. Most of the films set in Ancient Rome are filmed there.
Also, the notion that emperors Hadrian, Antonius and a big part of the Roman elite of that time were quite evidently Japanese makes it look even more amazing...
As a man Living in Modern day America, I too am intrigued by the Japanese Architecture depicted in this show.
you've never seen bathhouse before?
Yaa
Bro The Bathhouses are So Good Every Country Should Have It!
that "Roman" architect looks Japanese or it's only me?
I just want bidets to be an accepted part of the Americans house. So much cleaner and healthier. Less toilet paper. But I guess there is more water.
I watched it almost as if it was a movie recap, wow! Good job.
this is incredible!
Nevermind back in time, he traveled half way across the world in seconds!
Wazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzup
Technically he had 2000 years to travel that far
Not necessarily, the earth rotates around the axis and around the sun.
So while you may in your current place now, after some time there will be a completely different country occupying the same space. After some more time, the place you are in will return the place it was originally.
So you can travel to different places while remaining in the same space, but at a different time.
@@maniesh That actually makes sense, though during the years that Earth rotates on it's axis and revolves around the sun, it is in another point of the galaxy, so Lucius might also be floating in spaces if that were the case XD
He fell through the center of the earth and then back out again
Saw ths movie a while back, it was batshit crazy and weird in the best way possible, almost as much as the manga it was based on
Also, to anyone who's curious: The reason Lucius came back to Rome every time is because of his tears. He cried in the bathhouse after tasting the milk, accidentally sprayed his eyes in Mami's house and shed a few tears because of the bidet's, um... function. Mami returned to her time due to crying tears of joy and the older men getting ash in their eyes.
Woah, that is interesting. Adam should have mentioned this in the recap
bat shit
I fucking knew this was from a manga. It just sounds too crazy for someone not from japan to come up with it 😂
Hey! could you please tell me the name of the movie?
@@kevinsolomon6742 It’s at the bottom of the video(Thermae Romae)
Y'know whenever it's a character from a past time period coming to the future. It's always the modern US. Pretty refreshing and interesting it's modern Japan.
This takes "All roads lead to Rome" to a whole other level
9:22 that is the best special effect that I ever see (using a toilet)!
The Netflix anime doesn't go this much into making Lucius a tragic hero. But regardless, the plot of this story is golden. Brought me a couple of tears for how they made the story flow in this live action. Great story!
Oh...
I'd say Netflix surprisingly did a better job. I can't believe Netflix of all people did a good job, but they definitely did.
Damn, that's an awesome story. I love every thing about this.
Lucius, my man ! That's one hell of a commute!
5:20 And I always asked myself how these bubbles are made 😅
Lucius is the most Japanese looking Roman I've ever seen
My first ever Japanese movie. Honestly hits different compared to all others I’ve watched. Movies that involve time travel don’t end well most of the times but not this one, for this I’m forever grateful. I remember crushing on Hiroshi Abe so hard afterwards. Till this day he’s my second favorite Japanese actor after Satoh Takeru.
Omg crushing on Hiroshi Abe, same here 😂
This is way I love these kind of movies they are bound to reality❤

I swear..this channel has made me take notice of some GREAT movies that I would have never even thought twice about watching before. This one is by far one of my favorites.
Thanks so much for tNice tutorials video, it helped so much!
Damn, that was fun, thanks!
This is also currently an anime of this on Netflix, and at the end of every episode the author speaks a little about her research and interests about this!
What’s the name of the anime that please
It's called Thermae Romae Novae and it's much better than this movie. It also isn't the original. The original is from 2012 and is what this movie is based on.
In ancient Rome Lucius looks Italian but when he gets sucked into Japan you suddenly realize he is actually a Japanese actor (Hiroshi Abe).
Who also plays a drama about an architect. Now the link between the two stories are cannon for me.
I think it’s because he has a Roman nose that makes him look Italian. They also gave him a Roman style haircut.
@@rachelcookie321 or he probably has Italian ancestry in real life despite looking more japanese than Italian
@@99mrpogi I highly doubt it. Being mixed race is very uncommon in Japan and if a celebrity is, then the public tends to know. And I saw nothing online about him being anything but Japanese. The chances that he’s just Japanese that looks a little Italian is much higher.
There are many Japanese who look like him, even though they are native Japanese. First of all, the roots of the Japanese people can be divided into the Jomon and the Yayoi, the Yayoi being a people with Asian features and the Jomon having a high nose, a thick beard and tanned skin. The modern Japanese are mostly have Yayoi features, but there are also Jomon Japanese like Hiroshi Abe. Actually my Japanese friend has Japanese parents but looks like an Arab.
What a great movie! thanks for the recap. I wouldn't have known such a movie gem exists if it weren't for this recap. I love time travel movies, sci-fi, comedy and roman period movies! I would have enjoyed this movie watching it full-length!
Excusing the FLAT FACE REMARKS....this was fun! I like the cross between Japanese and Roman architecture design!
Let’ think for a second that Lucius saw technology 2 millennia beyond his time and was able to recreate it perfectly
bro, they had slaves blowing bubbles. Whats hard about that?
@@Brismo7 try blowing them then

@@MyrdinAnnoth 3 actually, with the netflix being the 3rd (imo the best) one. Thermae Novae 1 came out 2012, 2 in 2014
How are Romans and Japanese even related lol? Such a stupid plot.
Imagine when Lucius sees the modern military equipment.....
Lucius: "the Roman legions could do with some of this" :)
Let's hope he's only interested into bathing…
This looks freaking awesome.
man, seeing this movie is so interesting. the architecture and overall design and look of japan shown in this film is truly unusual but looks nice
Humans are fundamentally the same back then as they now, so it’s not TOO crazy of an idea that he was able to comprehend the mechanisms (Albeit at first glance). Granted this guy belongs to the upper echelons of human intelligence and creativity. We’ve only seen handful in history, probably many more who were never able to realise their true potential due to circumstance like Lucius would have(n’t)
bruh its just a fiction movie, no need to go full english teacher
why not?@@user-ow3kh6sm9h
Remember, people's modern perception of history is very distorted. For example, few people know that Roman's had water pumps, and the Greeks even had basic steam machines and even analog computers (yes really. Look up antihythera mechanism).
It's really not that difficult for this guy to create basic water features.
A lot of people have the idea that humanity was in a perpetual bronze age and then suddenly, in the 18th century, we became modern
"Although Mami doesnt understand his spoken language, she does understand the language of cold hard cash"
Damn, this really says alot about the materialistic nature of many people
Edit: Due to various people stealing comments, I will be editing this
I already watched this recap video but it was so good I wanna watch it again I find it better then the movie tbh
I’m not gonna lie I want to watch this now!
What I love about this film is it probably best illustrates exactly how someone could react if they traveled from the past to our time
Have you seen Les Visiteurs?
Honestly yeah, and it also shows that people from the past weren’t dumb. They were just limited by the technology they had at hand.
@@iterationfackshet1990 They had to be very creative with limited technology. Full plate armour had few rally interesting concepts. Thickness of steel varied because in some places you don't need as much protection, there were hinges and hooks in helmets because often they had movable visor, vikings had spear where you could pull out pin and use blade as a short sword
So this is where the Netflix anime is based off then. Interesting to see and learn.
They're both from a manga.
9:23 Lol! That's when I confirmed they wrote this movie while blazed.
I didn’t know they made a live action version of this. I am going to have to find the full version
imagine being able to reverse engineer technology and architecture thats some 2000 years more advanced then yours simply by getting a superficial look at it and being able to recreate the taste of food items using processes and ingredients that wont be known to humanity for some 2000 years, and that after mearly having a taste of it once...
that dude is a legendary super genious.
He is mostly getting ideas, since he doesn't seem to dig in too deeply on the inner workings. He is still a genius to be able to replicate with his limited technology.
Rome really, really loved sweet food. They used fruit and honey for it.
The "replicating food" one is a bit easier to believe. I used to have a really talented grandma from the province that when we'd take her to expensive restaurants, she'd be able to recreate their dishes at home using cheaper and easier to acquire ingredients. Sometimes they didnt taste 100% the same, and sometimes they tasted even better!
So I have no doubt that someone as creative and skilled as Lucius would be able to use his ingenuity to do stuff like that
@@AntonioCardenasT Yeah, just getting an idea for something and then trying to work it out with the materials on has isn't *that* crazy, honestly. After all, something most people don't realize is that what makes us more advanced than our ancestors isn't that our intellect has improved. It really hasn't. What we are taught has improved because our collective knowledge has improved.
Similarly, there's no telling how many Newtons, Da Vincis, or Einsteins spent their lives toiling in a field or mine instead of putting their genius to real use.
@@AdriannYu he recreated a fricking modern toilet
Well lucius was a superhero himself
He stood in the water without exhaling air

This would make a great movie.
I remember watching this on TV when it aired after its theatrical run in Japan. I loved it, and wished I hadn’t slept on the movie and had gone to see it in the theatre. They made a sequel to the movie, which was also really good.

No, the anime came first. You're watching a remake. The anime came out in 2012, with a second part in 2014 and it's based on a manga from 2008.
@@Nonyah123 Thank you for setting the record straight.
He is a genius. I would just spend the rest of my life trying to process what I just saw.
Watched it. It was fun as hell
I watched the anime series of Therma Romae and it was a hoot. The live action film is so much different, I do need to watch the whole thing (but you spared me the trouble of finding the full film)
Finally. I'm interested in how japanese see and perceive Romans and ancient times of the west. A film I will have to check out. Seems very interesting.
Glad this manga is getting coverage
10:22 I love how some of the people in Rome had modern glasses.
Those are the tribe members that came back w them
And asian/black people
"She does understand the language of cold, hard cash" = my favorite line in this one! Thanks!
I really liked this series !
Wow!!! These are movies I've never even heard of but they seem to have far more promise of being really good compared to the crap from Hollywood these days. I've gotta look these up now. These time-travel movies have always seemed like to me to be a great premise for a movie: What would happen if someone from today travelled to hundreds of years ago and able to use even a bit of modern knowledge to change life in the past? or someone in the past coming to the future? This is great stuff! Thanks for sharing!!!
This is so zany and ridiculous that I can't help but love the incredible originality 😂 Also, bidets don't live up to the hype -- they're beyond the hype. They're underrated. They're the best. Everyone who's made fun of the USA about this was right all along.
There is also a manga and an anime version
@@stanisawzokiewski3308 Word, that's cool, yeah some of the comments seemed to imply that but I forgot! I should check it out, been kinda wanting to get into manga a little bit at a time eventually just for the heck of it
I think that you are loose with the modern japonese grafittery
@@gonzalomoyasuarez7497 I can't understand your comment. Would you please clarify what you're saying?
@@stanisawzokiewski3308 only the japanese would get obsessed over bath house culture and features of toilets...the most messed up of all asians...I know whereof I speak...I've spent over 25 years living in south east asia
There's actually an anime about this, its called romae thermae novae. Its on netflix.
I hear the wheel is going a round
Had no idea they made a live action of this, i watched the anime on netflix randomly and glad I did. Its such a random and simple yet just such a nice watch.
I like the anime more, thank you for the video!
I saw the anime about a week ago. I never thought it came as a movie first.
