Wasting of time? No,it is valuable!

Because of that cosplay appears more and more frequently in people’s eyes, some people might questioned what is the value of cosplay?


So many people think that cosplay is a waste of time, on the contrary, cosplay is a valuable activity. Animation and game industry hope cosplay activities to promote the development of the industry. Thus, costume play developed as business promotion activities. Cosplay is not only a subsidiary cultural of animation and game culture, but also a cultural promotes the development of animation and game industry business promotional activities.

We have heard someone said: I love it, I experience it, after I experience it, I love it more. From this statement and cosplayers’ behavior, advertisers extract the value of advertising value of cosplay, namely, the feeling mode in advertising.

As if that were not enough, I know you all have your own idol, if your idol plays a role from a game which you never played before, are you curious about that? I am sure you want to try that game. Because of public figures join in cosplay, social media will pay more attention to those people and cosplay. That makes another value of cosplay, the propaganda value.

As you see, cosplay is a valuable activity, there are not only the value of economic world but also in our life.

We can learn so many things from cosplay. for me, I learned how to makeup in different styles, I learned how to use Photoshop and SAI, I learned how to make friends with the people all over the world(cosplay is a sociable activity), I learned how to take good pictures in different light, if I could tell you all of the value that cosplay have, I can speak whole day! And now, I'm still learning something from it!

Cosplay is awesome, I wish all of you can join us! We can create value, we can make cosplay better and better!

  2. I agree with Neo. Cosplay is at least valuable to bring more attention to the different cultural arts that it supports: Anime, video gaming, manga, and films to a smaller degree.
