''Cosplay Complex'' (こすぷれCOMPLEX) is a 2002 {{OVA}} series, focusing on the hijinks of the East Oizumi Academy's [[{{Cosplay}} cosplay]] club. The main character is Chako Hasegawa, a somewhat [[TheDitz ditzy]] girl who absolutely adores cosplaying, despite the fact that she isn't very good at it.
The rest of the club is a weird bunch, even as total cosplay [[{{Otaku}} otakus]] go: there's Reika Aoshima, a silver haired control freak; Maria Imai, a {{Meganekko}} {{Miko}}, her adorable younger sister Athena Imai, and Jenny Matel, an Italian transfer student. The only guy in the club is Gorō Yorozuyo, who is prone to extreme bouts of method acting that would give Creator/JackNicholson a run for his money. Luckily for the club, he ''is'' actually pretty darn good at what he does.

''Cosplay Complex'' is an {{OVA}}, focusing on the hijinks of the East Oizumi Academy's [[{{Cosplay}} cosplay]] club. The main character is Chako Hasegawa, a somewhat [[TheDitz ditzy]] girl with pink hair who absolutely adores cosplaying, despite the fact that she basically is not so very good at it (a [[RunningGag recurring joke]] is her tearing up her clothes when trying them on).
The rest of the club is a weird bunch, even as total cosplay [[{{Otaku}} otakus]] go. We have our silver haired control freak, a {{Meganekko}} {{Miko}}, the Miko's little sister who is actually way too young to even attend college and a blonde girl lusting after the aforementioned one. The only guy in the club is prone to extreme bouts of method acting that would give Jack Nicholson a run for his money, but he actually ''is'' pretty darn good at what he does.
The weirdest "members" though are Delmo, a miniature bunnygirl, and her friend [[MeaningfulName Ikebukuro]], an owl who can't speak but still somehow gets his message across. Delmo has the magical ability to change into all kinds of clothing, which saves Chako on more than one occasion, even though Delmo always has to be bribed with food (of which she consumes an awful lot).
Despite all the weirdness, the makers of the show display quite a bit of affection for the characters, coming very close to a declaration of love for cosplay and its performers. The number of [[ShoutOut shout-outs]] to other shows is truly staggering and it's a lot of fun to try to discover where all the costumes come from.

Sachiko is later shocked to see her in the audience of a cosplay contest but it is never explained who she is. If the producers never intended for there to be a sequel, this could be a CliffHangerCopout.

Lolicon and shotacon have been disambiguated. Links with too little context are being removed - "paedo" is not always a trope, examples where the tropeworthiness is unclear are being removed. Also, please do not use "loli" as a synonym for little girl; see Lolicon And Shotacon as to why not

The rest of the club is a weird bunch, even as total cosplay [[{{Otaku}} otakus]] go. We have our silver haired control freak, a {{Meganekko}} {{Miko}}, the Miko's little sister who is actually way too young to even attend college and a blonde girl [[{{Lolicon}} lusting after the aforementioned one]]. The only guy in the club is prone to extreme bouts of method acting that would give Jack Nicholson a run for his money, but he actually ''is'' pretty darn good at what he does.
