Meet Chako and her friends from the Cosplay Association at East Oizuki Academy! They're the hottest new cosplay team in Japan...fresh from a winning streak of local battles, they're set to sweep the Cosplay World Series!
Yeah, right.
In reality, Chako and her friends are barely able to keep their club alive at all. Feeble club membership and a lack of sponsorship might be the end of their cosplay dreams before they can even start. But don't you dare underestimate this group of spunky girls! They'll survive a barrage of pervy newcomers, cosplay rivalries, costume disasters and dating mishaps in order to reach their ultimate goal of competing in the World Series. The clothing flies as the girls suit up (and strip down) for Cosplay Complex!

Where it came from
Cosplay Complex was released in 2002 as a two-episode original video animation (OVA) series produced by the animation studio OLM, Inc. and licensed for North American distribution by ADV Films. The series emerged during a period of significant growth for anime fandom in the West, intentionally focusing on the burgeoning subculture of cosplay. The narrative centers on a high school club dedicated to the hobby, capturing the specific enthusiasm and social dynamics of early 2000s anime conventions.
The character designs were created by artist Kenichi Yoshida, known for his work on series like Eureka Seven and Overman King Gainer. Yoshida leaned into a lighthearted, comedic aesthetic, emphasizing the playful nature of dressing up as fictional characters. While the series was noted for its meta-commentary on the anime community, it was generally received as a niche, gentle comedy that served more as a love letter to fan culture than a traditional narrative-heavy production.
