Cos culture originally refers to cosplay, which means role-playing. Our current understanding of cosplay comes from Japan. In fact, it can be traced back to the United States. However, the impression of Japanese animation is global, so it also drives the Japanese cosplay style. For example, in the Spring Festival movie Detective Chinatown 3, I went to Akihabara. There was a scene where there was a wave of cosplay. Many passers-by cosplayed their favorite characters to express their love for the characters. In the past, cosplay belonged to a niche scope, but existed on a large scale in animation culture. Animation culture is a subculture, and its communication power and influence are within a fixed circle. Now the overall popularity of animation continues to rise, and more and more people have entered the cosplay circle. Just like there are many comic exhibitions nowadays, you can usually see cosplayers at comic exhibitions. You can also see cosplayers about games at e-sports carnivals. Cosplay has become a trend nowadays.
I think the real cos culture is to simply express one’s love for characters. For example, I particularly like Ken Kaneki, but he is just a two-dimensional character, but I can play him through costumes. Let me experience this kind of happiness through changes in my life. This kind of cosplay culture is easily accepted by others and is relatively sincere. Today's cosplay culture has undergone many changes. Many people cosplay just for the sake of cosplay. Some people don't even know who the character they cosplay is. It's just that this way is very eye-catching, so they do it like this. I think cos is unqualified.
The real cos culture has slowly come out of the circle. Guan Xiaotong also cosplayed the image of Ahri in the game League of Legends before. It can be seen that many people will start to embark on the road of cos. This is for It is beneficial for the popular development of COS, but it is declining in terms of spiritual core.
