A trailer for this month's new TV anime series Thermae Romae, airing in Japan from January 12. The Flash anime is created by studio DLE, based on a comedy manga by Mari Yamazaki. The story follows Lucius - an architect of public bath houses (thermae) in ancient Rome - who time-travels to various modern-day baths in Japan. Through manga and essay passages, Yamazaki explores the two cultures in the world "that have loved baths the most: the Japanese and the Romans!".
