I went to my first con last year and cosplayed as a character but I didn't expect people to actually ask for a picture so I wasn't prepared for it and just looked super awkward. lol
Check the rules and guidelines of a con before you go! At the first con I went to, nearly everyone had to drop off their bag, because of restrictions of the convention centre. Any bag that could fit a manga was forbidden due to tripping hazard. This is pretty unconventional for a con, but still. It's always smart to check the rules before you go, so you don't get any surprises. Especially do this when you want to bring cosplay weaponry.
@@SarahSunbeemz yeah. The con I just went to had very strict rules as well, due to a terror attack a week prior. See through bags only and no weapon props. So always check the rules, and another time before you go, to see if they haven't changed 😅
I have never been to a convention before and I can’t wait to go to one ,I have spent the last five years experimenting with makeup and cosplaying without wigs and props , however recently I have gotten over that step and I’m in the process of not only writing a manga but also bringing the main character to life with a cosplay of her , I’m super excited to finish it and to debut her for the first time at a con
I went to my first ever convention and it was surprise surprise, anime Matsuri, I went in Ibuki Minds and I didn't expect to get any questions asked, I ended up spending over 2 hours in the same place taking pictures, giving out tips and signing a few pieces of paper, I guess my cosplay was really good 😰
Lol me watching dis to mentally and emotionally prepare myself since imma cosplay at our local convention for da first time 😂 also ur energy in the vid and editing is awesome 💖 Edit: I didnt expect 2 ppl to know my character and ask for a pic , I was awkward but the joy coming from my eyes yo 😭🤚 thank u for dis !
Omggggg i went to a con once and everyone was so rude because i was literally 12 at the time, and teens HATE 12 year olds lolol. But now im 18 and im really planning on going to the next local con now :""")))))
I'm 12 and wanna go to one that's when I will be 13 but I'm scared that people will be mean and I was never to one and idk if my parents will go with me and I am not allowed without them and honestly I wish I could go there alone because it's gonna be so awkward when my dad and mom aren't that much anime fans and most likely they will be embarrassing me
When I lived in New York, my wife and I did "Star Trek" conventions, usually run by "CreationCon." I do "Rhode Island Comic-Con," and they have a strict rule of NO outside food being allowed into the Convention! I've also been to a "magic convention" in CT, no cosplay.
I’ve only ever been to AX since I’m local to LA but boy do I miss going to cons. Missing 2 years in a row really makes me sad. But watching these videos is really getting me into that con spirit again. Here’s to hoping they have it in person next year and things get better :)
I was listening to this video while planning a Rue from Princess Tutu cosplay on a different tab and I come back to the vid just in time to see Princess Tutu cosplayers at 8:07 XDD
Ty I’ve never been to one and I’m going to one in my city on the 17th of August but my stepmom wants to go to so this is helpful Me and her are cosplaying as sailor moon characters
ok i havent even made a full minute into the video but i saw i "cosplay isnt consent" sign and that made me very happy now, you may continue your comment scrolling have a good day
I really want to go to a con, it’s my dream! Same with my sister, but my sister keeps being bad so my Mom probably won’t let us go! I’m hoping it gets better though!
a tip from me dont back out if things get akwerd cause even if it is hard to get used to screming nezuko chan with a zenitsu costume while flying trough the air might be akwerd but when u do it its hella fun and invite friends
I went to my first con when I was 18 and boy i regret not going there earlier. I finally had the chance to meet the other nerdy people who never existed in the various schools i went to XD
thanks so much!!! i've gone to cons a bunch but needed a good reminder for what to do as i'm going to one the day after tomorrow!! you help hugely, especially for con noobs i'm sure!!! 👍👍💜
in my country anime conventions generally ban eatables and drinks. This includes water. Therefore forcing you to buy food at stalls and naturally it’s overpriced 😊
I plan on going to colossalcon 2022 in September with my family which this would be my very first convention We are going as Deku, Mina, Eri, & Uraraka from Mha and Tanjirou, Nezuko from demon Slayer not sure if the cosplays I just listed will be the final decision though
@@SarahSunbeemz you are very much right soon after I posted that comment I got everything for the cosplay and I hope to go to the local convention this june/July!😊❤
Do you have to be a specific character because i wanna do a steampunk inspired outfit but im nervous to? (also tips for 13 yr old cosplayers would be nice) -
Hiii this video is a lot of help but I have a question or two, me and my best friend will be going to our first convention together this year and the questions are.. Does the age matter? and....Are we a loud to go by ourselves? Me and my best friend are both 13 and we sorta plan on going on our own just getting a lift and so we will also be cosplaying as Froppy and Uraraka from My Hero Academia.
@@idelinecortez6227 when I went by myself the didnt say anything to me I'm 14 now and they have not stopped me ti enter but at the rave they carded me so if anything I would say bring a school id
well i love to go in those kind of place but unfortunately we dont have those kinds of thing nearby my place and if somehow i manage to save enough money to go japan i will surly visit those place coz i heard that world best cosplay is in Japan and that was informative video but i would like to know one thing can u sell stuffs i mean u participate in cosplays so do u guys setup own shops there and i can imagine how u or anyone get exited from those cool cosplay stuffs and like a kid start sparkling over those action figures etc
I've been going to conventions for 10 years now Everything in this video is correct If you want pictures from the Convention photoshoots most time t They posted them on discord or Facebook page
Shame i didn't get to enjoy conventions til after Covid came into the world, now im guaranteed to get sick afterwards and thus more pressure to have a wonderful time.

That's insane! But definitely a good point to check the rules!

I've been going to cons for about seven years and cosplaying for about four and watching guides makes me nostalgic for cons. I really miss them.
They'll be back!! Just think how fun it will be when they are back haha that's what I'm trying to do.

I really want to go to a con, it’s my dream! Same with my sister, but my sister keeps being bad so my Mom probably won’t let us go! I’m hoping it gets better though!

Going to one tmrw
....I’m scared to go. I have never cosplayed before. My BFF said she she would go with me. I wanna cosplay as Runa. Is 12 too young to start?
I'd say it's perfectly fine to start as long as you and your parents are ok with it! It's just like halloween
@@SarahSunbeemz ok! Tysm! I talked to my mom and she said she would take us!! I’m getting my cosplay tonight
@@dinonuggie186 oh my gosh congrats! Have fun 💓
im going to one today

I would double check your conventions policy in regards to age limits but you will probably be fine.
@@SarahSunbeemz oh my god I didnt think you'd answer back assuming this video is from a long time a long but thank you!
@@idelinecortez6227 depends tbh I went to my first one when I was 7 and 13 by myself so it's a hit or miss
@@Zay.Flicks hmm but did the security or who's ever there tell you anything?
@@idelinecortez6227 when I went by myself the didnt say anything to me I'm 14 now and they have not stopped me ti enter but at the rave they carded me so if anything I would say bring a school id
I'm going to my first anime con in November and I'm going as Madara
ive always wanted to make a new friend at a con, but how do you approach a stranger?
i’m finally going to my first con after covid and my whole family wants to go does any one have advice
heh I don't have to worry about events because no one comes to australia (help it's lonely here)
im hopefully going to my first con with some friends later this year in london. i hope i dont die
I'm in like middle school and am really tall,plan to cosplay and fear I might be seen as older what should I do? ;-;
where do these conventions take place i rlly want to go
They are everywhere! Just Google your town or area and add anime convention to the end and you'll find some
@@SarahSunbeemz Thanks for the help! I thought you wont reply bc this vid is from 1 year ago
well i love to go in those kind of place but unfortunately we dont have those kinds of thing nearby my place and if somehow i manage to save enough money to go japan i will surly visit those place coz i heard that world best cosplay is in Japan and that was informative video but i would like to know one thing can u sell stuffs i mean u participate in cosplays so do u guys setup own shops there and i can imagine how u or anyone get exited from those cool cosplay stuffs and like a kid start sparkling over those action figures etc
Do ppl dress up as d.c comic super hero characters in a anime con?
Step 1: get on ur formal U.S. WW2 Marine uniform and start bayonet charging the cosplayers
How can you check the rules? Because im going to my first con and its gonna be new england anime con 2021
7:41 yes, please don't bow to me or anything like that. its obvious that i'm a minor and its just very uncomfortable and awkward
I legit learned things!
I've been going to conventions for 10 years now Everything in this video is correct If you want pictures from the Convention photoshoots most time t They posted them on discord or Facebook page

The American one is way kinder then anime rev lol
Sorry I meant anime rev talks about people personal shit which is none of there business lol
That’s why anime Canada sucks
I have never gone to a convention, and if I ever don't, I will threaten God to send me back to earth to go to a convention
