Synopsis

Every cosplay club in Japan shares the same dream: to take first place at the Cosplay World Series. East Oizumi Academy's club is no different; led by Gorou Yorozuyo, the club's members spend every moment training and preparing for competitions. Still, even with ace cosplayer Chako Hasegawa and the shape-shifting powers of the fairy Delmo on their side, the club must work hard if they want to become the best in Japan.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
