Cosplay Complex is a weird, horny little love letter to cosplay as a hobby, though it never really explores it more holistically as a craft or art form, and while it can be pretty funny at times, a ton of the jokes fall flat, and some of the production quality is left seriously wanting. Beginning with the story, it's a zany, fast-paced tale about a school's cosplay club and its ultimate goal of competing in the cosplay world series, competing in smaller championships and contests and training to be better at what they do along the way. Of course, hijinks ensue. While this is a solid core for a nice little comedy about an important aspect of otaku culture, it doesn't really capitalize on it all that well. While some bits are genuinely funny, a lot of it just feels as though they're trying t…

I really think this anime was way ahead of its time or maybe I need to watch more 5/10.
For a three episode OVA this was fun.
For a 2004 anime. The animation is good its not a innovated but its pretty good. I don't see animation mistake or any inconsistency on its character. (7)
Its funny to be honest. There's some meta humor I liked while watching this and sometimes the characters are quirky. All jokes are cliches and reference. The execution of their jokes are decent to make me laugh. (6)
Sound design, it has less background music, Sound effect which is kinda stock sound effect nowadays but for its time its pretty decent, OP and ED are not that bad. (6)
I did enjoy this but the rewatchability for this is pretty low. But it is Very good after you watch it.
Personal Score: 8

How about to dive into a world of cosplay, pantsu shots & comedy? Even a little bit of love?
This is an anime of cosplay and what goes into it- yet, there's a little more to it than that. That is to say - this anime is not for everyone, after all - it a parody of the whole otaku sphere. The more you spent in the otaku world and know all of its phantoms, the funnier this will be. Otherwise the parody itself would fall flat since a lot of the comedy plots build on knowing the source material. The fairy in the show reminds me so much of Puck from Berserk, and well, a girl who feel craze from the only little girl in the show...etc.
The strong suit would be the characters as they are rather well written, and on top of that, I just adore the animation style of this era. There were some scenes…

Well what can I say about this, there are only three episodes and that's it nothing else & I thought was gonna be a whole series or something I thought the anime was pretty okay it had it's moments it was pretty good.
So what the fuck happened there is literally no information on this at all which is a shame the story is okay but It fit well with what was going on.
So if anyone has any updated information about it please let me know & If you haven't watched it yet but you like comedy's give this a chance it's not the best but it's good TV & if you want to buy the dvd It's at-least £3.00.

Cosplay Complex is an OVA series that was set up to have a sequel, but never got one. And that's okay, there wasn't very much you could do with it anyway, it already seemed like they were running out of ideas during just these 3 episodes, because all of them are about a contest, that's it.
The story of this series is about a high school Cosplay club, and they add some new members every now and then. There are some rivalries, a love interest, ecchi, and lots of cosplaying.
The art is pretty good, it's definitely not the standard, especially for an OVA, I could be wrong, but I don't even think it was the standard in 2002, unless anime has really come a long way in just 9 years, it's amazing.
It's not annoying and it definitely will not bore you.
The music is almost non existent, and the e…

I found this anime by accident today. There are only 3 episodes of this but they are a well packaged little bundle. I found this anime to be funny, light and easy to watch.There are parts of it that are genuinely funny and will make you laugh out loud. If you are looking for something to kill about 2 hours, this is a nice way to do it.

Cosplay complex is a three episode OVA about... well, cosplay...
Story: Cosplay Complex, in a nutshell, is about a cosplay club in a high school. (Can't really say anymore because one little thing can spoil 1/3 of the episode ==)
The story kinda highlights a few main events in a sport anime and doesn't really follow have a logical plot but since this anime is an individual OVA, it does not have to make sense.
Art: What can I say here? This is made in 2002, so you just have to lower your expectation a bit. For that time period, the animation is not too shabby. While it's not your kyo-ani style, it should satisfy your basic visual stanards.
Sound: There is not much good background music in Cosplay complex. The OP or the ED are nothing speical too. But if you happen to like Mahou Shoujo OP…

I´m not one of those otaku fan boys that go up in cosplay and stuff like that, but i LOVED cosplay complex. it had a decent story, a great set of characters and was, for me, hilariously funny. it was extremely well drawn and the scenes where Chako is dressed up in samurai are was incredibly and beautifully drawn. But it could be longer, the story ends rather sharply, with a cliffhanger that doesn´t really make sense.
But it is important to watch Cosplay complex as a story rather than a parody as it fails miserably at being one.
It is an great anime, but it leaves you wanting more. Reccomended.
Have a nice Chako-day.

This was...simply terrible. It fails even as a parody. I truly wish I had never seen it. The music was awful, the characters were flat, the animation was mediocre. Was this supposed to be a parody? If so, it wasn't even SLIGHTLY funny.
Save your brain cells and don't watch this.
