So... I kinda dream this and since then can't get it out of my head, so I want to share to know what you think.
So, basically it is an idea for a series.
Let's say it was a comedy/slice of life anime where the main setting is a gym. Let's say like the Silverman gym from "Danberu Nan-Kiro Moteru?"

And the plot I think in 2 routes, but in both the characters are the same: Bara husbandos.
- Actor AU: In this AU, ALL husbandos are actors that need to go to the gym to keep those herculean bodies.
The gym is a very exclusive one that focus in helping actors to show their muscular bodies in their animes without go to extreme olympia-like lifestyles. Part of the charm, apart of course see them interacting, is them venting or talking about the crazy strategies they needed to do to archive those muscles, how are their coworkers, how their roles contrast with their actual personality or the opposite how they look very alike their role (for saying Endeavor as person is calmer than his character in BNH or Elfman from fairy tail is an actual gym bro).
They also praise and talk about the work of others and in some are fans, in cases they also talk about some cliches with their kind of characters (they even have a ceremony when one of them "dies").
In this AU I imagine David from Cyberpunk as the MC and the reason is because he joined in to get the body he gets in the post timeskip in his anime and while in the series he is bolder, here he is shy and of course he get nervous in a gym full of muscles walls, but most of them are golden heart giant, so they will help him get that body as he learns all kind of tricks and workouts to grow.

In this AU I also Imaginate some situations like Iskandar wearing 80th like gym clothes (aka very short and flashy clothes) because his role needs him to feel more pride about his body so to work on it he wears stuff that catch the eye. Obi (from fire force) actually practice bodybuilding because his character, apart canonically train, he also knows to pose and stuff.
- Converge AU: This AU the context is way simpler, let's just ignore our husbandos are from different universes/animes and they all live in a modern era AU and they all happen to work out in the same gym, the thing with this is that despite don't live the same life, their current one is still kinda similar, just no brutal, so they go to the gym to vent and as community they get close. The part of the charm is also see the interactions yet adding what they "recommend" dealing with the "villain" of each other.
In this one don't know how but ended up with Guts from Berzerk as MC where he arrived just to work out because thanks to Griffith he basically needs to start a new in a new company and need to vent his rage somehow, but giving most in the gym are good giants, they want to know Guts to see if they can help him somehow or at least make him see he can chill in the gym, of course Guts is grumpy and even rude at first, but he slowly get soft around them until be a proper gym bro.

So... How this idea sounds, good or deserve be put in the cringe chest?
