TESTIMONIALS
Aicosu was a perfect host into the world of cosplay. Darling was knowledgeable, perfect on camera, and fun to work with on set. She made the world of cosplay easy to navigate for 4 extreme beginners and showed us just how amazingly welcoming, fun, and positive the world of cosplay can be.
Katie LeBlanc
TRY GUYS Show Producer, Buzzfeed
Aicosu are an amazing example of Cosplay Professionals. Hardworking, communicative, and a pleasure to work with. Darling and Sylar are the embodiment of Cosplay positivity.
Tim Wyckoff
Anime Expo Entertainment Manager
Aicosu is the real deal. For an upcoming series, we needed charismatic professional experts in the field of cosplay to act as on-air mentors for contestants. We could not have chosen a better team. Darling and Sylar are professional, fast on their feet, fantastic to work with, and oh so creative and talented that it's scary! We look forward to working with them for 200 episodes more!
