Hello! This is Chermaine and I will be talking about why people cosplay and why you should cosplay.
(MOST or ALL of these are my personal opinions so feel free to comment on how you feel about it below)
There are various reasons as to why people choose to cosplay.
1. The love for a character or a series
There has been an increase in the number of people who watch anime/read manga/play games, and some of these people are fans of these series. People like to express their love and cosplaying is one of the best ways to show it. (I mean, who would spend money and time to cosplay a character/series they don't like?) I personally cosplay characters that I love because I want to be like them, even if it's just on the surface~
2. Sense of accomplishment
We tend to feel accomplished after making costumes and props from scratch, especially the complex ones that require a lot of materials, time and effort. The higher the difficulty, the higher the sense of accomplishment. And of course, after all the effort put in into creating their masterpiece, they would definitely want to wear it and to show off what they have managed to do.
3.Community
Some cosplay communities can be pretty welcoming and fun to be in. We can find people with similar interests there and discuss with them about our favourite series or characters, and that can be really fun! Cosplaying as a group is extremely fun especially if all of you are cosplaying characters from the same series.
4. A break from reality
I'm sure many of us wished we lived in video games/anime/tv shows/movies. Living in Singapore tends to stressful and mundane, and cosplaying actually gives us a break from reality when we cosplay, and those breaks help us to readjust to life.
So why should I cosplay?
You should cosplay if you LOVE an anime character or series and are not afraid to show it or if you like crafting! Experience it yourself now ! :)
So why do you cosplay and what would you like to see me post next?

Tried cosplaying, the only down part was it that it was very expensive even though some parts were home made.
ReplyDeleteYep. That's true :< But I think we can try to be resourceful and try to get some materials for free :X Other than that, I think one way to make full use of your cosplay costumes is to use them multiple times and not just cos once and sell it away :) Or maybe even trade them with your friends so it would be less costly to cosplay :>
DeleteNot bad not bad. I like the pictures! They are so cute. However, I wish to see photos of you in cosplay!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I will post some photos in the next few posts :)
