----------------------------------------
A series of short stories about Italian accidentally goes to various places of modern Japan to improve by bathing: Milk, Onsen Egg, Sake. lol~~ (looks like there are 2 ep.s of short anime because they each got separate OP and ED, or does it just consider 2 parts in 1 ep. because of the preview at the end?)

OP is short and ED is interesting. ... wait, it's getting live-action movie, too?

*Since I'm not sure if it's 2 part ep. or 2 eps. aired in one day, my post consists of contents from first 2 eps.

It may have crappy animation and overused classical music, but it's still damn good.

The animation is actually somewhat charming. Reminds me of shit on [AS].

This reminded me of when I was watching Antique Bakery. I dislike this low-budget stuff, but I will accept it, as I am quite fond of the ancient Romans. Lucius getting drained reminded me of Kyou Kara Maoh, lolol.

Antique Bakery uses shitty flash animation? Well scratch that off my list.

I think WhyNot is correct.

Or at least change the duration to 22~ minutes and keep 3 episodes.

Second part/episode (whatever)

Hah, lolfest

-When he was riding his horse in the beggining and he said HAH! that just cracked me for some reason.
-He wore the bath robe like a toga lol
-When he came back and the old man was like, "Oh I found myself a wife and had a baby" and the baby looks twenty years older than the mom...

I fell in love with it right away.

A not too serious anime about baths and history with a tinge of time travel?

A rare gem in today's anime lineup.

[Read some of the manga too, they skip some scenes but most of it is in there.]

I guess I should commend everyone here from not only tolerating, but appreciating the rather stiff and low budget animation. I was hoping for slightly better reaction, or at least some glorious reaction faces, as the manga is rumored to have.

Just when I thought I saw enough crazy anime, to be not shocked like this anymore.
Feels like it's straight outta a Wario Ware Game. Dunno yet, if I should like it or not.

The soundtracks friggin awesome, though.

It was interesting to say the least. The backgrounds are quite nice and the flash animation fits the respective content. The OP and the ED were surprisingly neat produced as well.
