some very sleuthy sibuna members have correctly pointed out that the school is called “amun academic boarding school”- i see your deep knowledge of the house of anubis lore and i raise you this heinous piece of trivia: the first time that name was ever mentioned or revealed was in a house of anubis trivia game on the teen nick website - meaning that not only was it never named in the show, but it was revealed as if it was some kind of bonus easter egg or mystery or something LMFAO 😭😭😭

As a House of Anubis absolute nerd, Victor's official title is "caretaker," he and Trudy both have rooms in the house, there are ghosts (season 2 victor's dad), Victor is only 96 (give or take a few years), Nina being the "chosen one" is basically the main plot and has to do with her birthday and birth time 07/07/95 at 7 AM which is why they thought it was joy who was born 07/07/95 at 7 PM which is "not the true 7th hour" while Nina's birth time is. It was prophesied that the next chosen one would be born the 7th hour of the 7th day of the 7th month just like Sarah was born on the 1st hour of the 1st day of the first month which is why the code was 11 01 01 19 15. 11 being her numerology number, and her birthday being 01/01/1915.

When Alfie made random sounds it wasn't alluding to a language barrier or that Nina was originally written as a foreigner. In a prior scene Alfie theorized that because Joy disappeared just as Nina arrived that she was actually an alien taking her place. No underlying motive, just really random and strange dialogue.

[@sairah3354]

person from england here! can confirm the house situation is a not-america thing. it's a dorm, not off campus housing, its owned by the school who assign the students to these dorms that are in a bunch of different houses instead of a giant dorm building (probs because it's such an old school so all these houses are on the property but too old/historic to knock down and build on). because all the kids are under 18, they're not allowed to live on their own without adult supervision so that's why victor and trudy are there. trudy is the house mother, she lives in the house and has her own room in the show, and is basically just there to look after the kids. victor is the "caretaker of the house" so he's p much in charge of everything that goes on in the house, doing all the admin stuff, fixing anything that goes wrong, enforcing rules (and detentions/groundings) and making the decisions (which is why he had the authority to fire trudy). he's still employed by the school so that's why he was at the show. tl:dr - anubis house is part of the school as a dorm house, victor and trudy are employed by the school but victor has seniority

[@emilykate0835]

as an American this always made complete sense to me as a kid and I fully understood it lol the only thing I thought was weird and knew was made up for tv was the fact that it was co-ed

[@Faerieskit]

Thanks for explaining this, it’s exactly what I came to the comments for lol. Does the caretaker traditionally live in the house as well?

[@sairah3354]

@Kirstiefae it depends on the school! since the house is pretty old I assume they need someone there the whole time, but a lot of newer boarding schools will just have a housemother per dorm that all report to one caretaker (at least in my experience, I can't speak for every boarding house lol)

[@someoneelse4579]

Very interesting to me as someone who did not go to school in England but attends university there. At uni we don’t have a housemother but the uni does provide people to clean our flats multiple times a week and considerably older adults do live on campus to watch over us and help us in case of issues.

For information. In the Dutch version Nienke (Nina in the English version) isn't an exchange student, she just Dutch and stats living in the house because her grandmother (with who she lived with) moves in to an elderly home and thus she gets put in a house for teens. In the Dutch version the house also isn't connected to the school.

[@patax144]

I haven't seen the dutch version as a whole, but I did watch the first episodes subtitled and it makes more sense, like the grandma moving to an Elderly home and there is where she meets Sarah, while visiting her grandma, instead of just getting a random scholarship to a boarding school across the globe and meeting Sarah outside the house, after she scaped an elderly home.

Hi there! German Nickelodeon made their own version of House of Anubis with a German cast and German setting. It was a very important part of my childhood. The only character name that they kept was Nina Martins. The plot is the same but eg Nina came to the house of Anubis bc her parents died and her granny send her there. The other kids that lived in the house had each reasons why they lived there. It was not a boarding school but rather a home for children that had to live near their school while their parents lived somewhere else. Netflix has the first season (although idk if it’s only here in Germany) If you liked House of Anubis you should definitely check out the German version!!!

The biggest mystery to me is why a British boarding school student had basketball practice instead of rugby or cricket

[@faeadams4966]

I will tell you as someone who’s lived in England my entire life, I’ve played cricket at school (PE) one time. I’ve played basketball countless times (although I suck at it) cricket is more of a posh/old people thing

[@thekitkatlizard8661]

Ig because the show is originally dutch-belgian but im dutch and tbh basketball is pretty obscure here too, we're more of the soccer-football and hockey I think

This was my favorite show as a kid and I still periodically watch it and that explains so much about me. This show made me passionate about egyptian mythology which has turned into a passion for egyptian architecture, since that's my major. In other words, House of Anubis has inspired my professional career, don't think about that too deeply

[@Wika-jt1rg]

Omg, for me this kind of "I don't know if I really watched it or did I make it all up" show is Wolfblood. I watched it as a child and recently my sister and I remembered about it and started to watch it again. It's so funny and iconic to watch this type of acting, especially because we watch it with Polish dubbing which is just the most cringe/funniest thing in the world. I also did watch few episodes of House of Anubis back then, not enough to know what the plot was really about, but I totally belive how nostalgic and funny it is to watch it now.

I became deeply obsessed with this show, to the point that as a Canadian I experienced "The Peppa Pig Effect" from House of Anubis. For years I spoke with an English accent, I couldn't shake it even if tried.

[@alyss6781]

I watched all three versions of HOA, the original dutch HHA, DHA (german remake) and HOA english remake. And I have to say all three of these shows have their own charm to it. As a kid I always watching HHA and thought it was the scariest thing in the world, but I became a fan anyway since I loved the drama in the show. I remember turning on nickelodeon and night and it turned into teennick, where they aired the english HOA, that was my first ever introduction to the english version. Yet I never got into it until years later when I decided to watch it as I was curious what changes they made. Let me tell you I was surprised by how much it differed from the dutch one in season 2. I expected it to be a full blown copy (Like DHA did) but it got their own storylines and the characters developed differently from their dutch counterparts. I quickly became a fan, and I honestly overlooked the bad acting and noticed it only years later, cause I think I was just so invested in the drama and the mystery of it all, it seemed so good. My favorite season has to be season 2 though, I think they really found a direction with their characters and with the way the story was progressing, it kept kids (and teens like me) on edge every episode. Alongside the several romance tropes like love triangles, enemies to lovers and slowburns, they really gave everyone something. (My fav still has to be the peddie ship though) I really liked how they also focused on side stories and gave characters who didn't have anything to do with the mystery still their screentime, and how they sometimes overlapped with the main story. This was also done in HHA and it just made me love the show even more cause it showed that they were also just teens with their (sometimes dumb) feuds and drama. It was kind of disappointing to see season 3, and I think a lot of people will agree with me on this, but the show wasn't the same anymore when Nina and Amber left. It was kind of filled by KT, but I never got the same vibe from watching s3 as I had from s1 and 2. Not saying S3 isn't good, cause rewatching it is genuinely enjoyable. But I think when you grow attached to characters, it's hard to see everything change so drastically and letting that go. Although I did enjoy the originality we got, as DHA and HHA were basically watching the same show but with different actors, this really became it's own show. I could say a LOT about hoa and their dutch/german counterparts, but I'll leave it here. I really liked your review and the topics you approached! Some things in this universe are very unrealistic and complicated, but hey, that's the joy of television. Gotta work with something right?

[@a-go-go19]

the only part of House of Anubis I remember is Alfie getting on the cover of a foot magazine because Amber said she'd only date a model (maybe even specified that they had to be in the cover of a magazine?)

[@tobennaokoli4450]

Hello - British person here. Anubis House is actually an on campus dorm (or just House as it called in England. Dorms are the individual rooms in the House). Anubis house belongs to the school and has dorm parents (Trudy and Victor) who help take care of the kids. Trudy is the Nanny and Victor is the Head of House (why he could fire Trudy).

I watched this dubbed in Spanish growing up and the editing/dramatic deliveries gave the show a very telenovela feel. Additionally, Nina was given a Peruvian/Ecuadorian (?) accent while the rest had Mexican/Central American accents so it felt borderline classist at times lmao. Also, wow, watching the line deliveries in their original language is...eye-opening.

[@mysteriouswhiterabbit9490]

I also grew up with Latin dub and I think that dubbing helped A LOT, the lines and tones were better expressed, I hardly even noticed the acting thanks to that. (I really don't remember much about Nina's accent because I think they changed her voice in season 2)
