What are your thoughts on Future of Cosplay In India?
Yes if we keep going on and keep our high standard when judging the cosplayers I’m sure India can be on top 3 soon. This makes me happy to see, as a cosplayer who’s has been around for 11 years in cosplay field. India is improving to be one of the best soon. Many of you may see our performance just now, we all can do better than that, for now we may look good to set a high standard for future cosplayers, I’m sure we can be on top of the world too. Our WCS event was awesome, it can be exciting and more hype if we can band together from current organizers to throughout north east region organizers. If Talented people can band together by hosting a huge cosplay event not by base only money, but by base hosting true fans who truly love cosplay and all its related categories, I’m sure we can built something like Japan did right now! Cosplay is fun who understand the cosplay element who truly love cosplay both perspective of being an organizer and a competitor. The future of cosplay in India is growing strong every year! Only if we can keep politics aside and keep promoting our champions who truly deserve the title, our cosplay community can grow bigger and bigger! It wont be long India can be the next mini Japan.
