Synopsis Lucius Modestus, an ancient Roman architect, finds himself job-hunting due to having trouble coming up with new ideas. As his demeanor and personality become dismal, his friends try taking him to a bathhouse for him to relax. Unable to unwind in the bustling and crowded bath, Lucius dips his head in the water. Down there, he finds a secret tunnel that transports him to a modern-day Japanese bathhouse, providing him the inspiration he needed to make a new creation. Loaded with what seems to be knowledge way ahead of his time, Lucius does his best to try and recreate his findings, usually inferior in quality due to his circumstances. However, the sheer ingenuity may be just enough to gain the attention of the citizens and regain his reputation as an architect.

| Honestly, I'm really only interested in Gokushufudou and Spriggan right now, but that may change later on. |
| Still can't believe Gokushufudou is getting an anime. Very hyped! More B: The Beginning is appreciated, and we finally get to see Godzilla PV. Tenkuu Shinpan is really unexpected though. Overall, can't wait to watch the ones im interested in, and atleast try to watch the ones im not familiar with. |
| I only knew about 'The Way of the Househusband' live action adaptation, but didn't know it's getting anime. HYPE Also curious about Tenkuu Shinpan. |
| Hmm, i will probably only watch Thermae Romae S2 out all of them. |
 Try reading Spy x Family Manga ^_^ U will love it, i promise... |
| WAY OF THE HOUSEHUSBAND OH MY GOOOOOOD I'm so hyped And they go the perfect VA for Tatsu as well. He was so good in the live action short. Also nice to see that B:The Beginning sequel wasn't cancelled. |
 |
| Screw those other shows we're getting new roman bath action hell yeah! |
| MEA·MENTVLA·INGENS·EST |
| Still hyped for Gokushufudou despite the questionable staff, Yasuke looks interesting too I've watch my fair share of Oda Nobunaga themed shows but never thought that he had an African retainer. |
 |
| A bunch of yuck and Gokushufudou. |
| :3 |
| Excited for Tenkuu Shinpan. I remember the first half of it being a nicely executed, tense thriller with decent amount of fanservice and yuri bait. Unfortunately, the latter half devolves into mediocre at best shounen stuff but hopefully the adaptation won't go that far. |
| AnimeThemes.moe <- the largest collection of anime Openings & Endings on the Web AnimeMusicQuiz.com <- guess an anime from your list by it's Opening/Ending music browser game |
| Talk about a loaded lineup! Netflix ain’t holding back, that’s for sure. Gokushufudou, Spriggan, Yasuke & Godzilla: SP should be interesting. And Wit Studio’s project might be worth looking forward to thanks just to the Studio as well. Hopefully, it won’t turn out to be a mess like Shisha no Teikoku though. Certainly made my day brighter, thank you Netflix Anime. |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni  |
| Some cool stuff announced here. Been looking forward to new B The Beginning season since then, happy to see some news about it. Also I was excited for that Wit's vampire show ever since it got announced because of Tetsuya Nishio working on it. Godzilla, that husband anime and the Roman one look like they should be interesting. Will definitely check them out. |
| Looking forward to B: The Beginning Succession and Gokushufudou. I might start watching Thermae Romae. |
| Resident Evil and Trese seems interesting too but even as a peenoise im not a fan of horror though |
Zaeen said: One episode in the week pleace Zero chances, netflix crowd is too spoiled. |
 |
| Wow that's a lot of titles. |
 |
| Nothing really got my attention. Maybe I will try Wit's original because the studio is quite good. |
| Nice to see Gokushufudou getting an anime. |
 |
| only tenkuu shinpan is interesting for me, hope it'll be a bit like hotd |
    |
| Only tenkuu shinpan, house husband, b the beginning and spriggan looks good others are meh. |
 |
| Never really expected Tenkuu Shinpan to get animated and while i like the manga the trailer really didn't hit, i'll jsut keep my expectations low... Curious to see whhat they'll do with B this season Anyway, thtt's a LOT of titles |
 "In the past few months since we met, I've shared many memories with Nagato. Though I've also shared memories with Haruhi, Asahina-san and Koizumi, I found that I've experienced more events with Nagato in particular. In fact, every situation seems to involve her. I might as well mention this, she's probably the only person to cause the bell within me to shake the most vigorously..." ~ Kyon, TMOSH |
| For once I can say for Netflix: Your selection for 2021 anime AIN'T SO BAD! 21 titles...that's like probably 4-5 shows per season (if counting on seasonal aggregate). That's a buttload of it. Of course, gonna skip those horrendous 3DCG anime (that Netflix STILL can't get it right), and look out for the more promising ones to come. |
 |
| Nothing new on kengan ashura, that's unfortunate |
| Cogito Ergo Sum |
| They’re releasing the Rohan OVA, nice! I’m probably going to watch it illegally by then though. Anyways cool, I’ve heard for a while now it was hard to find online so it’s good they addressed it. I wanted to watch Vampire in the Garden because it’s Wit, excited for that. There are a lot of CG anime but I’m hoping I can look past that and appreciate the story and artstyle as well. Ajin was CG’d but it had a great story, and I loved it. So I’m hoping these will convince me as well. Godzilla seems cool, will add that to my list. |
 |
| I found most of the synopsises really interesting. Thermae Romae Novae - feels like it will be relaxing kinda like Arte, never watched architect related anime. Tenkuu Shinpan - looks interesting, the teaser pv is mostly screams which is kinda annoying... Gokushufudou - looking forward to this since long ago. Vampire in the Garden - another one from Wit, gonna give it a watch. Godzilla: S.P - looks interesting, that blue haired guy looks like Gintoki. Eden - it's different, kinda gives off Wall e vibes... Yasuke - MAPPA again... Spriggan - looks interesting and I like the music. |
| Gokushufudou - YES!!! I'll be interested in seeing how they do this! |
| Be happy with what you have to be happy with |
| Oh no, I was actually pretty excited for Yasuke for a second there... “In a war-torn feudal Japan filled with mechs and magic“ It’ll also probably be only dubbed like Afro Samurai. Like, didn’t the actual dude himself speak fluent Japanese? Guess this won’t have a shred of historical accuracy. Still, it’s made by Mappa so it’s worth checking out. |
| Lots of titles, hope Netflix does a good job |
 |
| Netflix-san, that's a lot of anime to be do... are you sure about this? |
| Looking forward to seeing Yasuke, Kishibe Rohan wa Ugokanai, Spriggan, and Gokushufudou. |
 |
| Great Netflix ads, looking forward to seeing some. |
| Apaixonado por jogos e animes. |
| Does that mean that we are not getting a second season of Dorohedoro anytime soon? :( |
 |
| I like how people are saying that there's nothing interesting here, yet Gokushufudou is a thing. 😂 |
 |
| looking forward Gokushufudou but im pretty sure the romance tag is a mistake the manga is a sol/comedy |
 |
| I'll definitely watch The Way of the Househusband and I'll most likely watch Vampire in the Garden too~^^ |
   |
| Spriggan looks decent, also i'm curious about the Godzilla series but i'm guessing it's mainly CGI considering Orange is involved, also the staff all seem pretty unknown |
| Objectivity? In my anime scoring? Of course not... |
| Godzilla looks cool Where's the second half of Ghost in the shell SAC_2045 though? Or, a new season of Kakegurui? |
| funny how i started reading Gokushufudou yesterday and today i see this |
