    Anime conventions are like the wild west: unpredictable and full of twists and turns. Don't be caught unaware, so follow my handy-dandy guide. Everything you need to know from cosplay, guests, panels, and anything else you could think of.

    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
      @SarahSunbeemz  5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

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

    • @TheGalacticGrizzly
      @TheGalacticGrizzly 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @@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'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.

      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

    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

    • @SarahSunbeemz
      @SarahSunbeemz  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    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 😰
