Everything You Need Know About Conventions - Tips for Your First Cosplay or Anime Con

my wig sometimes itches me im going to a convention soon can u make a tutorial of how to get ur wig from itching to non itching it would help me so much!

I’m putting together a Ranboo cosplay, I hope to go to Sakura Con this year and meet some other nerds like me- I’ve been to one con in my whole life and I didn’t cosplay there

Love your videos! I have a MHA panel with a bunch of friends in September and nervous even though it’s a fair bit away

The only convention I’ve ever been to is a Doctor Who convention. I was like 9? I got to hug an Ewok(idk why an Ewok and wookie were there) and see one of the doctor’s and a dalek!

I'm going to my first convention in May! I'm super excited after waiting years.

Thankyou so much for these tips! Im going to a comicon this weekend and i had no idea what to do. This helped so much!

Omg my mom said we can go to Comic con someday.

I don't understand people who don't ask for permission you get a better shot and a pose!

watching this to prep myself for the lip sync I agreed to participate in at my first con & i’m super nervous

I'm going to a con really soon and I have very bad anxiety but this helped a lot with what to do and how to ask for help thx

Im 13, Ive been asking to go, they are finally letting me today. Im so excited! Though the prop is the only thing I made myself, itll be fun.

Went to my first con a few weeks ago and had that same overwhelming feeling, I was shaking so bad my bestie had to hold my hand for a while haha. Im going to another con next month, hopefully more emotionally prepared!

Chelle : google search your location's convantions
Me already knowing that in Romania there aren't any conventions: :'(

there’s a con in my country which is going to start next month, and i really want to cosplay but also take photographs, since im kinda of a beginner photographer who wants to practice.. >_<

Thank you dear

I really want to go to a convention, but I don’t think I Can travel to far or leave state and i don’t know if I can save up enough money, and I don’t even know how to know when or where conventions are.
Also I’m currently working on my first costume!!! I’m making dragons wings and stuff

I'm going to Kumoricon tomorrow (Not a cosplayer)
I really wanted to learn proper etiquette. Thank you so much

im going to my first convention in a few months and i dont really know what to expect. one thing i want to know is what is a good amount of money to bring? i want to buy things there but how muchmoney should i bring?

I always ask if i can take a picture but sometimes i ask to NOT look at camera and to CONTINUE what they was doing because i want to take picture of how people have fun at con

Is NSFW content in these conventions always sectioned off so everyone knows where it's at and where not to go if you don't want to see NSFW stuff??? Or it's it just a risk someone has to take that they may be around NSFW content??? I have extremely anxiety around people and images that is NSFW so I get really worried about conventions for this reason because I always see sowmth8ng sexual when looking at convention stuff and it bothers me

I'm new to cosplay and don't know how to talk to anyone

Great video. Watching from London UK.❤

lol watching this in full cosplay less than a week before my second con haha

I'm glad you mentioned furry cons among all of that, cosplayers and furries are essentially the same thing. I do plan on going to both furry and cosplay cons in the future but right now I'm still new to both and young so yeah.

I don't know if you included this, but usually there is also a cosplay catwalk!

Me and my best friend have a con in literally ten days this helped a ton!

Thanks for the tips, im going to the comic con in july, super stoked for my first time. Also doing a little partying in san diego afterwards 🎉

Thank you for this video! I'm taking a friend to their first convention and I've been trying to find videos that can help them prepare for the experience. This is the most comprehensive video that I've found so far!

Thank you! This was so helpful cuz I’m gonna be going to Anime Boston next week, and this is helping me prepare so much! And I just can’t wait, thank you so much for the tips

I have been attending cons consistently since about 2018. And attended my first con back in 2015. And I understand all of these rules. But I remember my early days in cosplaying, and I didn't know these rules as I didn't realize that watching videos or had friends to tell me about what were general rules, suggestions or anything about how to survive a con. Here I have, years later with over 10 cons under my belt as well as over 30 cosplays under my belt. And have been wanting to share my take on what are general rules for cons

This week i have my first Anime convation, thanks for the tips . I'm so excited 😊😀

Im going to my first in may as toga and i am thinking of bringing one of those fake retractable knifes and i dont know if they are fine to bring can anyone tell me? Tysm

2 years late but me and my friend are going to our first con in about a month, and this was super helpful! :)

DEODORANT!!! best tip

question: how are the general admission tips different from the VIP/4 day ones

Im going to a convention next month,It'll be my first. gonna go as my girl rem re-zero so this was helpful! Thank you 😊

i cosplayed for the first time a week or so ago. i had a lot of fun but my mistake was choosing a genshin cosplay as my first one. i carried a 193 cm scythe and wore really tight pants where if i sat down there was a good chance of it ripping. i wore heels for the first time too and i wore them for 7 hours. i was hot and sweaty but i looked very cool. :)

I’ll be going to my first convention next month, thank you for the tips!🥹🫶

Me watching this knowing damn well I’m going to my 10th convention in like 2 weeks

In sweden panels are usually cosplayers answering audience questions in character

Other reasons cash is better than are sometime vendors remove taxes with cash payments, and it prevents sneaky vendors from charging in foreign currency. I'm in Canada, sometime vendors sell something, they charge the exact amount in cash, but will collect in US dollar instead of Canadian dollar by credit card or debit card, so you get overcharged.

I don’t have a head to put my wig on when I’m not using it so until it’s ready to be styled, I have it out of cardboard box standing up 😅 had to get creative

I'm sorta scared to get the cosplay I want, mainly because I might regret it and people won't know my character, I'm wanting to cosplay Nikolai gogol from bungo stray dogs

I’m going to comic con w/ my freind soon and needed this.

I’m in crutches for my first con sooooo I’m already limited 😂

For me its the best feeling when someone asks for a photo of my costume!

Thank you so much in this because I now know that I shouldn't just say hi ways everyone every time I'm at a convention
