I was once in an airport, going to a con, and I got to a security desk. The guy who was checking my backpack was about fourty, and looked bored as hell. So he looked into my bag, and it was all normal until he just stopped. He was looking into my bag as if there was a bomb inside. He reached in, in the most strange way possible, and pulled out my Death Note. 'What the hell is this?!' He said. Well I didn't know what to say! This had never happened to me before! 'It's my Death Note.' 'Your... Death Note.' He looked at me suspiciously, and then he actually called someone else over to look at my bag. 'This lady has a... 'Death Note' in her bag,' said the man. The other employee just looked at me, then the man, then back at the man. Then he suddenly burst out laughing. 'Don't worry, I won't tell L,' he said to me, 'You can let her through.'
I'm going to tell that to people when I see wet cement now. "Dude smash your face in that. It's wet for a limited time only". Since I'm also Asian, I have a better chance at convincing people to "buy into" shit
I ALWAYS get abandoned at cons, usually because my fandoms are different or my friends want to impress strangers rather than make sure each other are safe/enjoying the con. Any tips?
DevilsWatchOverUs idk man... I just go alone and usually end meeting some pretty chill people and hang with them but ya it's way easier to go by yourself. It saves you the stress of worrying about your friends and you can go to the booths/panels/or whatever that interests you
DevilsWatchOverUs i know this comment is a little old but I would bring pepper spray honestly and if someone is acting strange or harassing you try to find the con staff
DevilsWatchOverUs Erm, go alone then! Be your own cosplay, have fun, plus you don’t have that feeling that your friends are judging you. Also I recommend try to avoid them as much as possible during the con!
Could not agree more on that last topic. Take a full walk around the Dealers Hall before committing to a purchase. Also if you happen to see a figure you like and don't see it at any other booth, take a quick look on a few sites just to be sure your getting a fair price. I found one I wanted but I found the same one online at half the price so don't let the dealers trick you. I found a few that were overpriced than getting it from the site and thats including shipping. If your on a budget, take your time especially on the last day, not every dealer wants to bring everything back with them.
Yeah, almost everything at a convention is overpriced. I usually just go home with Artist Alley stuff (not dealers room stuff), and I'm happy with that. My favourite purchase last year was a Steven Universe themed coin purse. :)
At my last convention, i saw this amazing fluffy unicorn from Despicable me at 35€ (~40$), i was like "i need it!" so i bought it. 10 minutes after, i saw the exact same plush for 15€....
Gio Mod7 little tokyo ? Well, its very cute ! But... like its name its "little". Since i've also visited Tokyo, i wasn't "amazed" by little tokyo, but it is still a very cute place !
REMEMBER BAND AIDS FOR FEET IF YOU'RE WEARING HEELS Story time: I was cosplaying someone that had long as shit heels and long story short i ended up sitting in a hall being stiched up by a medic that watlked around
I remember the last time I went to a convention, someone asked me in my Izaya Orihara cosplay to take a photo /with/ me and it was lit. I was so happy, please ask to take photos. Also one time a Shizuo Heiwajima cosplayer asked to step on me. That was also really fun and creative. Do not be afraid to ask for that kind of stuff!!
hello! this is last year, i know but going alone in a convention is totally fine since 99% of the people there is hella nice, i mean not all of ze convention will have those people but you'll enjoy it just fine even if you're alone. I went last year and it was a blast. i was only 14 with my pocket money... I didn't bought anything..
I’m like nine and I have a BFF who loves anime even though she can’t because her sisters are (stupid rule ikr) and she’s probably go with me 👌 *but my family gotta pay the bills 🙄*
At my second convention I lost my phone and realised shortly after I got in line, keep in mind my cosplay was Kaneki Ken. In a panicked state I pulled of my mask and wig and frantically started searching my bag. It ended up on the staircase to the convention centre and a girl gave it back to me. It wasn’t until I was calm that I’d realised I was looking quite ridiculous. Embarrassed by my appearance, once I’d entered the con I ran to the nearest bathroom and put my wig and mask back on.
Aki packs her "camera" because she will get the merch in a flash *crazy eyes* If you didn't get it a camera flashes but a gun also flashes when it's being shot
I have a ticket for the anime convention in Cebu but I didn't go cuz I'm still 14 and how can I even go if I don't know what location in Cebu am I supposed to go Lol
OMG You made this just in time! I've been to only one convention before but I was totally lost. I didn't bring enough money I was hungry, shy, my feet hurt. I'm going to the same one but I'm prepared this time. Thanks Aki! ^ ^
Owen Mal Tanks bruh! I thought there were no conventions in my area eithet, but some came here! Just hang in there, or save some money and go to one far away :)
How old do you have to be to go to a con? Because, I'm only 13 and 1. My cosplays suck xD 2. I'm freaking short and idk what will happen if I try to talk to like, an 18 year old with a great cosplay xD
AkikoX There's no age limit to go to a con. I've been to Anime Expo when I was 9 and now I'm 14 and coming back to AX after a while. I was short at the time and I still am. Even though my cosplay sucked back in 2013 (I wasn't into anime at the time so I cosplayed a non-anime character) people still approached me to take photos of me. And don't be shy of 18 year olds with great cosplay. Like Aki said, there are other people who are experiencing the same as you (and me, but since I'm going back to AX, this time I'm a casual con-goer, if this is even a word). And don't think your cosplays suck though. I may have not seen your cosplays, but I bet it would be better than I can do in my power. I don't know if I even want to cosplay the next time I go to a con :-/ I'm pretty shy. I'm pretty much there to see cosplays and to buy merch lol
Depending on the con you can go you just have to have a family member sign a permission form. At least that's what the requirement is for Kumoricon in Portland.
Funny thing is i'm such a cheap son of a bitch that i went on a week (minus a few days) trip to DC and, excluding airfare and staying at a hotel, i spent a whole $20.
+Maxwell Chen lol I'm not so much cheap just like I find something I like and I wanna buy it but say it's like $50 so I'll search for the same thing but cheaper and then there's no other price but 50 or above but then I find another thing that costs even more then I wish I had my money lol I feel like everyone feels like that tho 😂😂
Another important tip: Stay hydrated ! I almost past out due to me getting overheated in my cosplay, luckily I got water into my system and slowly cooled myself down Also if you need to make sure to take breaks especially if your planing on being their for a long time. Food is also important make sure to keep yourself fed so you can enjoy the con and not be focused on being hungry
I know that it's been a while sense you posted this but I just wanted to let you know that you helped me out a great deal! I'm about to go to my 1st cosplay convention an was feeling a mix of excitement and fear. I got on RUclips and yours was the 1st thing I saw. I feel much more confident and want to thank you so much sweety! ^_^
Fun thing that happened to me at Czech con: So I was on the con in Overhaul cosplay, and there this old lady walked up to me and said: ‘’is there plague going on?’’ And I just burst out laughing while she looked scared asf lmfao
look, i'm not a pro like Aki is (i've been going for 6 years now and i only go to like 2-3 max due to lack of cash to fly around the world and back), but take a lesson or two from me: #1) always, ALWAYS!, brings snacks, food and drinks to cons. not saying you can't buy them at the con, it's just easier on your wallet/purse. and #2) just have fun. stop to relax, buy the stuff you can't buy normally and just meet people with the same interests as you. heck! take a moment to just do Karaoke. it's fun to be part of it or just sing! just...don't be a perv ok? no touching without permission or crap like that. grow up.
also, bring alot of tape. not ducktape, i mean Grade A construction tape of the same color or black. as someone who uses mainly cardboard props as a "cosplay", it's useful for everything! even when people need it.
good tips! idk if you know this, but lots of cities have smaller conventions that have cheaper and smaller cons that are nice to visit, so if you dont have to only go 2-3 times. look into them ;)
Ahaha, I paid £2.50 for a bottle of coke which is normally £1 and then found out that the venue itself had vending machines which had drinks for £1.50 XD (This was at Sunnycon 2016) :3
haven't you ever wanted to just meet up with a random person you don't know but are your age and go to a con with that person? i wish that I could do that but I can't go to cons either got no money
I'm going to otakon soon (anime convention) I'm doing pearl from Steven universe and I know it's not an anime character BUT IM FUCKING SCARED I MADE THE WEAPON AND EVERTHING IS DONE BUT HOLY SHIT IM SCARED Thanks mama aki
Ramencon in September 2017 & C2E2 in April 2017. 3 Cosplays: Abraham Ford, Yuri Plisetsky, and Mink. Bring it on -- I say as I silently pray I actually get my shit done on time.
I didn't get to see this video before I went, but when I saw the pictures part of your video, I was like, "THAT WAS ME!" So many people asked for a pic of me, and I was so flattered and happy. I had no clue that this was a thing!
*enters dealer room* Alright, I'm gonna check out everything before I make purchases and set a budget for myself. I'm going to make transactions wisely so I don't end up broke. 2 minutes later... *walks out of dealer room having spent $500 on chopsticks*
The packing to much is so true... I went to a con in Scotland(I live near London) and I was going for two days and I was cosplaying Sebastian And Ciel And I packed my cosplay and accessories and all my basic stuff....was crammed and shoved into a backpack 😂
im wanting to start costplaying and going to cons so ive been watching videos like this for a while and when i found your videos seeing how funny and such they were it made me alot less nervous.
AppleSauce Yeah but...that's your friends. This year, Code Geass is 10 years old and almost everyone I talk to is like 'code geass wtf is that??' //sigh
Actually code geass is a very popular anime that a lot of people talk about. You can go on anime amino if you want to talk to others about it. ALL HAIL LELOUCH!!!!

How old do you have to be to go to a con? Because, I'm only 13 and 1. My cosplays suck xD 2. I'm freaking short and idk what will happen if I try to talk to like, an 18 year old with a great cosplay xD
AkikoX There's no age limit to go to a con. I've been to Anime Expo when I was 9 and now I'm 14 and coming back to AX after a while. I was short at the time and I still am. Even though my cosplay sucked back in 2013 (I wasn't into anime at the time so I cosplayed a non-anime character) people still approached me to take photos of me.

Like Aki said, there are other people who are experiencing the same as you (and me, but since I'm going back to AX, this time I'm a casual con-goer, if this is even a word).

Oh my god I have the same problem, my cosplays aren’t that good currently, I am only 13 and so short everyone thinks I am 9 :/
13 and super short checkkkk 😢😔
Depending on the con you can go you just have to have a family member sign a permission form. At least that's what the requirement is for Kumoricon in Portland.
Most cons you'll even see toddlers in there in cosplay and I know that bc I went to one to see a really cute baby harley Quinn
im going to the anime expo in california jesus my wallet gon to die! :, (
I went to Comic con with $100 I left spending $120, considering I like anime better than reading comics, I'd lose my entire life savings at anime expo

Funny thing is i'm such a cheap son of a bitch that i went on a week (minus a few days) trip to DC and, excluding airfare and staying at a hotel, i spent a whole $20.

Also if you need to make sure to take breaks especially if your planing on being their for a long time.
Food is also important make sure to keep yourself fed so you can enjoy the con and not be focused on being hungry

Is shouting at a girl that cosplays as your favorite anime character okay for conventions? She was kinda across the room.

i normally just say “i’m a cosplayer, i dress up as characters for events” if i’m asked about things in my luggage
same but sometimes the person looks so scary I don't say anything
Fun fact: if you ever see me at a con as a cosplayer I’ll probably happy cry if you take a picture with me. I LOVE PICTURES
THE COPIC SKETCH MML
Fabio Di Cristofaro AHHH I WANT THEM,
mercy luv bot are you an artist?
This is very VERY helpful as I'm going to a con in June cosplaying ghoul kaneki.
Also, 2:29 that kaneki poster :3
July*
They changed the date...
Ramencon in September 2017 & C2E2 in April 2017.

Bring it on -- I say as I silently pray I actually get my shit done on time.

OMG! I'm going to Ramencon as well!
Cool! What are you going as?
Friday - Claude Faustus from Black Butler
Saturday- Shuu Tsukiyama from Tokyo Ghoul
Sunday- Umbreon from the Pokemon franchise.
I didn't get to see this video before I went, but when I saw the pictures part of your video, I was like, "THAT WAS ME!" So many people asked for a pic of me, and I was so flattered and happy. I had no clue that this was a thing!
At 1:08 EPIC MONOKUMA BACKPACK!! AAA
omg! This helped me because once I got a chance I'm going to the nearest convention and cosplay as someone from Attack On Titan
When you were showing the neko cosplay, I happened to notice the background. Is that Ciel in his dress?
There's also me in the photo
Haha as a seller I found that last one to be hilarious XD I hope I've never made anyone feel that way!
'not that type of roleplay' PLEASE-
Me: pauses video at 4:20 to talk to sister
Sister: walks behind me
Me: unpauses not knowing sister is behind me
Both of us: disturbed
Me: walking towards the convention center
Also me: “UwU”
Also also me: gets kicked out
"Possess you like Lelouch" love the reference.
"Dont be shy" gg for introvert anime otaku this event isnt for me...
I went to a convention in a unicorn onesie and a pink wig, most amazing lazy way to cosplay yes yes
*enters dealer room* Alright, I'm gonna check out everything before I make purchases and set a budget for myself. I'm going to make transactions wisely so I don't end up broke.
2 minutes later...
*walks out of dealer room having spent $500 on chopsticks*

Ive been to six cons and every time I go I watch this idk why
4:58 THE WAY THE WIG *FLEW* IM-
Ok so I'm so excited I'm going to comicon with my girlfriend
The packing to much is so true...
I went to a con in Scotland(I live near London) and I was going for two days and I was cosplaying Sebastian And Ciel And I packed my cosplay and accessories and all my basic stuff....was crammed and shoved into a backpack 😂
can i cosplay as mei and im a 10 yr old
If your 10 then unfortunately you may not be old enough to go to a con depending on which one you go to.
a good boi My thought exactly
it depends on the place your going to
Anime expo allows anybody at any age. If you are under 18, you must be accompanied by an adult
3 years later and you have a sangwoo pfp-
Aki, you are the funniest youtuber I know and watch - your exaggeration is lit! Please do more!
im wanting to start costplaying and going to cons so ive been watching videos like this for a while and when i found your videos seeing how funny and such they were it made me alot less nervous.
I love you
Awww I love you too
I love me too
I love death and myself also

--Shouldn't have smiled when she said Lelouch.
Senpai knows.
Senpai has seen Code Geass.
All hail.
//lays down
It's very late at night.
gdi
everyone
has
seen
Code
Geass
+5Geass nononono I'm not being rude it was just a comment because all my friends have seen it and always talk about it!!
AppleSauce
Yeah but...that's your friends.
This year, Code Geass is 10 years old and almost everyone I talk to is like 'code geass wtf is that??'
//sigh
+5Geass huh, really? all of my friends are super into anime and so they've all seen it and I see it online so I've heard about it so many time
Actually code geass is a very popular anime that a lot of people talk about. You can go on anime amino if you want to talk to others about it. ALL HAIL LELOUCH!!!!
ALSO!!! ALWAYS HAVE THAT ONE CONVENTION DAD!
Ty! Going to Phoenix 'Con 2022 and your lists (and others) are extremely helpful. 👍
I’m going to anime fest in August!! Can’t wait. I already know my mom is gonna be clueless because she doesn’t really get anime,, but I’m really shy,, and I’d be so overwhelmed. I wouldn’t know where to start
Lol she packed tons of tampons
Aki I have a question do you watch anime? Please answers this on the next dear aki.
she does
R u being serious
nope that is absolutely wrong. She actually watches Chinese cartoons and not "anime". STAY WOKE PPL
you're joking right?...RIGHT?
That's a very good question because honestly if she does you'd never think she's watched it since her channel is based on it.
Weird question: how do I pack a gigantic cardboard hammer about the size of a 9 year old?
@@schnitzelmoment I'm going in a car it's not that far away from where I live
I loved how Aki tried to pack a fake gun 😂
Cosplaying makes me happy because it’s fun to be someone else...
This video was so helpful! Anyone else going to smash in Sydney this year?
My convention was cancelled bc corona :(
where did she get a gun...?
Others: Camera = gun???
Me: OMG SHE HAS MONOKUMA BACKPACK-
Another tip: at the end of con days or times things tend to be cheaper, if there’s a cool item no body seems to have bought u should probs wait a bit
