I've seen it.
It was a funny series with partially very earthy
humor. When I watched it I described it to a
friend as a "requital with the whole cosplay
community" and he agreed with me. It's no
coincidence that even the title of the OVA is
ambiguous (because the word complex can either
mean "the whole" or the "psychological" complex).
The girls shown in the anime doing cosplay are -
let's say so - not the intelligent ones (or
better said: they are the really stupid ones ^^)
and seem to have no other thoughts than
cosplaying (should I say these girls all had
a "cosplay complex"? *fg*). The boys in the
series (aka the cosplay fans) aren't represented
better of course, because they only want to see
under the skirts of the - mostly permissive -
costumes of the girls.
I think if you're a "cosplayer" yourself
(especially a female one, but most cosplayers are
girls) you could find the series insulting. I
only know a few cosplaying girls but I'm sure at
least one of them would be upset with this
series.
I nevertheless aren't cosplaying and therefore I
liked the series because it was very much fun. |
