History HotSpringsEpisode / AnimeAndManga

* Played with in ''Manga/SgtFrog'', where one of Momoka's [[ZanyScheme poorly thought-out plans]] to get closer with Fuyuki involves letting him win a set of four tickets to an ''onsen'', and hoping he takes her as a guest. Most of the action involves Momoka fighting with Natsumi's [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship friend/admirer]] Koyuki over the extra ticket, to the point where they don't actually get to the hot springs until the very end of the episode.

* ''Manga/GetBackers'' has two. One involves Ban and Ginji mistaking Kazuki for a girl at a distance and trying to peep on him, Juubei and Kazuki cranking up the HoYay, and EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys. The other involves Shido proving that his girlfriend Madoka has him whipped, Ban and Ginji being ''very'' intimidated by the size of Shido's... [[GagPenis um...]] and EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys. Again.

* ''Anime/{{Gravion}}'', naturally, has a Hot Springs Resort episode, and naturally (being ''Gravion''), it still ends with a Giant Robot battle.

* ''Manga/{{Working}}'': Subverted (or at least weirdly played). The hot spring episode does not feature any hot spring scene at all (or 1 if you count the foot spring).

-->'''[[SchoolgirlLesbians Sakuya]]:''' ''Aw, come on, Kanade-senpai.\\

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'':

** There's another at the end of the Sun Village arc. Interestingly this one is unisex with Lucy and Wendy embarassed (Erza doesn't really seem to care) until they notice the guys aren't checking them out at all. They point out that thanks to their usual wacky antics they've accidentally seen them naked so many times the novelty is gone, and they proceed to enjoy their bath together without any incident.

* ''Franchise/{{Anpanman}}'' has the character Onsen-kun, who actually ''makes'' hot springs. Every starring episode he gets will be a hot springs episode. The show is meant for a young audience, so no FanService is intended.

* Absolutely subverted in ''Anime/SK8TheInfinity''. Despite what Japanese media fans would expect from the beginning of the purported "onsen" episode, they instead spend its near-entirety [[spoiler:at [[BeachEpisode the beach]], ''then'' on the journey ''to'' the onsen, only to ''get chased by mysterious monster-looking assailants. There is at most a minute of focus of them at the onsen, and four out of six characters are NOT okay when they get there]].

* ''[[Videogame/{{Amagami}} AmagamiSS]]'':

* ''Manga/DailyLifeWithMonsterGirl'' has a hot springs chapter when the main characters go test out a new hot spring resort that's designed to cater to both humans and liminals before it opens (the house was undergoing some repairs at the time anyway). Due to how fan-service driven the series is to begin with, the chapter doesn't stand out in that regard.

** In ''Anime/DigimonXrosWars'', Akari, the lone girl in the party at the time, is alone on her side of the rocks. When she notices the villains of the week approaching, she peeks around the side to tell Taiki and Zenjirou. Zenjiro gets all freaked out and accuses her of peeping.

* ''{{Franchise/Anpanman}}'' has the character Onsen-kun, who actually ''makes'' hot springs. Every starring episode he gets will be a hot springs episode. The show is meant for a young audience, so no FanService is intended.
* Happens in one episode of ''Manga/{{ARIA}}'' with everyone wearing [[ModestyTowel Modesty Towels]], but with a variation: most of the scene are set in the closed-air hot spring.

* In ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia'', Japan has a small hot spring in his BigFancyHouse. Both in the manga and the anime, England gets to enjoy the warm water -- and befriend some spirits, like a ''kappa'' and a ''zashiki warashi''. [[TearJerker Who have to leave the house since Japan can't see them anymore]].
** In the manga... how does North Italy find out that Japan's a lightweight [[GagPenis in his pants]]? When they both take a bath in the same spring.
** Also, [[BathingBeauty Hungary and Taiwan]] bond over their love for hot springs via taking a trip to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Hévíz Lake Hévíz]], which is basically a huge Hungarian lake acting as such.

* ''Anime/{{El Cazador de la Bruja}}'' has the main characters visit a hot spring in the middle of a Mexican desert. Lampshaded by having the characters actually say that it's common in Japan, and then by having one woman go in without a swimsuit on the grounds that that's how they do it in Japan.

* ''LightNovel/HaiyoreNyarkoSan'' subverted this during the UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash-animated ''Remember my Love(craft)'' series, teasing a Hot Springs Episode in the NextEpisodePreview, then spending the entire running time with a shot of Nyarko's pet Shanta-while we just hear the female cast talking to one another. At one point Ato-ko says "[[LampshadeHanging I feel kind of bad about teasing the audience like this...]]"
** The trope was played straight with the OVA episode for ''Nyarko-san W'', the second TV season.

* In ''Manga/KatekyoHitmanReborn'' they play the cheap version in when Dino's pet turtle destroys their bath tub. (and most of the house)

* Early on, ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' involves quite a bit of action in the pool-sized bath, although not ''that'' kind of action. It dies down until a "Chapter 100% in the nude" appears as a break involving hot springs.
** One early chapter earns points for confining a hot bath to a steel drum barely big enough for one person. There were two in it.

** Yuuka decides to have the Maken-ki [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c004/18.html meet at a reserved spring,]] to welcome Takeru and Usui as their newest members and give them the chance [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c004/32.html to get acquainted.]]
** And while they're vacationing on Okino Island, the girls decide to bathe at an outdoor spring... [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c033/5.html without the guys.]] But the two of them escape and try to make in time [[OutdoorBathPeeping to see some some eye candy.]] It then becomes a test of their determination, as they try to get past [[TheGadfly Yuuka's]] [[http://www.mangatown.com/manga/maken_ki/c033/12.html traps,]] to reach the spring before the girls are finished bathing.

* ''Anime/HanaukyoMaidTai''. In the second half of episode 7 Taro and some of the maids go to a bathhouse (the first half was a BeachEpisode).

* In chapters 109-110 of ''Manga/KurokoNoBasuke'', all of the main characters, plus one of the main [[OpposingSportsTeam Opposing Sports Teams]], all go to an onsen. Naturally, Fanservice abounds.

** Also, [[BathingBeauty Hungary and Taiwan]] bond over their love for hot springs via taking a trip to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_H%C3%A9v%C3%ADz Lake Heviz]], which is basically a huge Hungarian lake acting as such.

* Happens in one episode of ''Manga/{{ARIA}}'' with everyone wearing ModestyTowel, but with a variation: most of the scene are set in the closed-air hot spring.

* The ''VisualNovel/ElevenEyes'' OVA becomes one at the end. Although they are wearing bathing suits and its mixed bathing.

* ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler'': {{Lampshade}}d and subverted in Ch. 117. [[spoiler: After the characters spent about 5 chapters trying to get to a special hot springs, the first thing Hayate and Maria do is to relax... in massage chairs. Another character even exclaims, "Why hasn't the bath scene appeared yet?!"]]
** The anime has at least two episodes centered around hot springs over its two seasons. The male main character isn't interested in peeking, unashamedly entering one of the springs when his (female) master has the effect of getting drunk. It seems the 'girls' are more likely to peek at each other in this story. And [[UsefulNotes/{{Bisexual}} Ayumu]] is the only one who does that much.

* ''LightNovel/RyuugajouNananaNoMaizoukin'' has a rare gender-swap of [[Administrivia/SeenItAMillionTimes what almost always transpires]] in hot spring episodes. Yuu gets excited by the [[InnocentInnuendo increasingly homoerotic]] conversations going on in the ''men's'' section, and she eventually pokes a hole in the wall to peek at them. She doesn't get to see much of her beloved Isshin, though, so she [[UnprovokedPervertPayback jabs Juugo in the eye for no reason.]]

* ''Manga/HanaYoriDango'' has a couple of episodes that take place at an onsen, where [[spoiler: Tsukushi passes out in the onsen and has to be rescued by Rui]].

** The second episode of ''[[LightNovel/WashioSumiIsAHero Washio Sumi Chapter]]'' contains a scene where the girls are in a hot spring after training.

** The manga had three incidents involving hot springs. One in the G/S/C arc was used by Sabrina and, later, Red. This was not due to fanservice; they were both frostbitten by Lorelei in the previous arc and needed to recover.

* ''Anime/YukiYunaIsAHero'' had a hot springs segment in episode seven, which was mostly a beach episode.

* ''Anime/GingaDensetsuWeed'': Tesshin and his pack lead Weed and the soldiers to hot springs to recover from their wounds and enjoy themselves. While there, Jerome (who went missing the episode before) is revealed to be recovering from a bullet wound, and Tesshin gives Weed a [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments moving speech Gin told him to give to him]]. It's also where Weed learns to perfect the Zetzu Tenrou Battouga and uses it on a group of wild boars attacking the dogs.

* ''Manga/BlackClover'' has a four chapter/two episode mini-arc about this. Most of it is spent just ''getting'' to the hot spring, which is a reward for a training exercise that involves ''climbing a magically super-active volcano.'' [[DrillSergeantNasty Mereoleona]] apparently intended the mixed-gender group to all bathe together (to everyone else's discomfort) before [[DishingOutDirt Sol creates a wall]] to divide the pool in half. Also worth noting is that none of the guys are interested in peeking until Yami talks them into it, and seems more interested in watching ''them'' try than doing it himself. Yuno remains disinterested, though, while Asta refuses out of principle.
