Thermae Romae(2012)

Thermae Romae is a comedy series following Lucius, a Roman bath architect who inexplicably time-travels from ancient Rome to modern-day Japan. Stranded in contemporary Tokyo, Lucius discovers Japanese bathhouses and becomes fascinated by their design, culture, and bathing rituals. He smuggles ideas back to Rome, where his innovations revolutionize the empire's public baths. The series playfully explores the unexpected parallels between two civilizations separated by millennia yet united by their devotion to bathing culture. As Lucius navigates language barriers, cultural confusion, and the clash between ancient Roman society and modern Japan, he finds inspiration in unexpected places. Thermae Romae blends fish-out-of-water comedy with genuine appreciation for both cultures, celebrating the universal human love of relaxation and communal bathing.
