    Synopsis:

    The series follows Kentarou Sanada, a former office worker struggling to regain stability after his company's collapse. Desperate for work, he mistakenly attends an idol audition, unexpectedly landing a place in Eternal Boys – a pioneering musical group composed entirely of men in their forties and fifties. The core concept centers on these individuals navigating the demanding world of idol performance, facing challenges related to ageism and competition within a youth-obsessed entertainment industry.

    Eternal Boys explore themes of second chances, self-discovery, and redefining success beyond conventional expectations. The anime delves into the camaraderie formed between these unlikely performers as they strive to prove their talent and resonate with an audience. It offers a grounded look at ambition and perseverance, blending humor with moments of earnest reflection on pursuing dreams later in life.
