Cosplay Complex

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, butit leaves you wanting more. Reccomended. Have a nice Chako-day.

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 bewrong, 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 ending theme reminds me of something Nobuo Uematsu would have composed for a happy go lucky show, but that's not a bad thing. The seiyuu all do a great job! I especially like whenever Delmo speaks, but that's probably because of my love for Gintama. Character is very basic here, nothing special, but it's there. I enjoyed this more than I expected, but for it to be something by Tatsuyuki Nagai, he has definitely come a long way in creating great shows. Sometime you can't judge a book by it's cover, or its first publish sometimes. Only time will tell when it comes to greatness. It is overall a show that can be fun to watch if you just want some light hearted fun, and like cosplay. Be aware that this show was set up for a sequel, so things at the end do not make sense, and they never will (Unless someone really wants to do another sequel.)

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.
