CATDOLL: A cosplayer at the Tokyo University Campus Festival was suspected by a TV reporter to not be a Tokyo University student

With the development of the animation industry, more and more people are joining the animation team; more and more people are cosplaying their favorite characters; just two days ago, such a thing happened at the Tokyo University School Festival in Japan; a TV reporter suspected that the Coser at the school festival was not a Tokyo University student! What happened?

The University of Tokyo, Japan's top university, has two university festivals. One is the "May Festival" in mid-May, and the other is the "Komaba Festival" in November. On June 2, the "Hirunandesu!" TV program specially sneaked into this year's "May Festival" to find interesting things. When the program encountered students who were playing COSPLAY, it was suspected that they were not studying at the University of Tokyo, which caused great dissatisfaction among the COSERs! Who said that COSERs don't have high academic qualifications, or who said that people with high academic qualifications can't play COSPLAY?

The show sneaks into the May Festival!

The TV show "ヒルナンデス!" filming team sneaked into the May Festival held on May 16 and 17 this year to find interesting things. After all, students at the University of Tokyo not only study, but also practice what they learn! For example, this orange lover club uses various scientific methods to promote the beauty of oranges:

The Orange Club that believes in oranges!

The Orange Lovers Club makes various products

They even go to schools to promote oranges

As we walked, the photography team discovered another interesting rope skipping club. The gorgeous rope skipping styles fascinated everyone...

Have you ever seen people skipping rope backwards?

From the Orange Club to the Rope Skipping Club, the show didn't make any negative comments, but when they saw a group of COSERs standing in a row and dancing...

Joint dance of the COSPLAY Club

The subtitles actually put a question mark after "Todai students"!

Then he directly wrote "He doesn't look like a Tokyo University student"

This performance was organized by the Tokyo University's cosplay club "まるきゅうProject". The members are of course all students of the University of Tokyo, but the program interviewed several cosplayers with a skeptical attitude...

"Are you from the University of Tokyo?"

What do you mean "Is he a student from the University of Tokyo?" Not only is he a student from the University of Tokyo, but the research content he talked about was so incomprehensible that the photography team couldn't even understand him!

I am a fourth-year student researching "electrochemical supercapacitors"!

This one is a third-year medical student who is currently doing "anatomy internship"!

This graduate student...

It is to study the T-duality of superstring theory... (50,000 words omitted below)

As soon as the program aired the behavior of suspecting the COSERs were not students of the University of Tokyo just because they did COSPLAY, it immediately aroused the dissatisfaction and criticism from COSER netizens. After all, this statement is like "COSERs do not have high academic qualifications" or "People with high academic qualifications cannot play COSPLAY", which is certainly not pleasant for COSERs to hear!

fortunately……

COSPLAY is a joyful activity!

The interview ended with the concluding remark "COSPLAY is fun", which seemed to have appeased the dissatisfaction of the COSERS a little bit...
