Ep. 1: The Matsuno Sextuplets Reimagine Themselves as Modern Idols Before a Decade of Inactivity

The Matsuno brothers doubt their Showa era humor will succeed in a new anime, so they reinvent themselves as handsome idols. They perform heroic feats like saving Earth from a meteor and charming Totoko to death, but their old bodies cannot sustain the pressure of modern stardom. The situation escalates as other characters appear in similar rebooted forms, leading to chaotic parodies and copyright issues. Unable to maintain this persona, the brothers abandon the project and spend the next ten years doing nothing. This period of inactivity concludes just as the actual anime series begins, marking the end of their failed attempt to modernize their image.
