ADV FILMS GET NAUGHTY AGAIN WITH COSPLAY COMPLEX!

ASK YOURSELF: DO YOU HAVE A COSPLAY COMPLEX? ON 7TH MAY 2007

LONDON, UK, 13th MARCH 2007

ADV Films suggest you suit up and strip down for cracking comedy Cosplay Complex, in stores (and changing rooms!) all over the UK from 7th May 2007.  The three-episode anime OVA exposes (literally) the comedies and tragedies that befall a Japanese cosplay club.  Inspiring comparisons to the classic anime



 

satire Otaku No Video, Cosplay Complex hilariously parodies the art of cosplay, or dressing up as anime characters.  Peppered with fairies, quick but revealing costume changes, and a peeping tom, Cosplay Complex is loaded with always funny, always sexy, anime spoofs.

The Story:

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 fellow students are barely able to keep their club alive.  Feeble club membership and no adult sponsor 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!

Cosplay Complex (RRP £14.99) is a DVD-only release, including three episodes in English 5.1- and Japanese 2.0-language, with English subtitles. Extras include: clean opening and closing animations; original Japanese opening; annotated production sketches; Cosplay Identification 101; Cosplay “Cover-up” feature; and ADV Previews.
