Ladies, I'd recommend bringing tampons, pads or panty liners JUST IN CASE it comes early or if you're already on it. I know it sucks to be at a convention and have your period but it is sooo unsanitary to try and use one tampon or pad for the day.

I would bring the makeup I would be using because for all you know you might start crying or it might start raining outside and your makeup gets ruined and it all is in the hotel room or at home so I would bring it in my bag for cosplay!

Also, bring a small kit of sewing supplies such as needles and thread, just in case your costume tears of breaks.

Nikōru-chan does this rule apply even if you didnt make your own cosplay (like you commissioned the outfit from someone else)?

I think it does cause even a cosplay you didn't make can have malfuntions.

This is a tip more for cosplayers but if your wearing a wig you should defiantly bring a wide tooth comb! It helps out a lot!

You have everything sorted out!! Our cons here are waaay smaller so half of this never crossed my mind but once I manage to go to a bigger one this will come in handy!

Hand sanitizer is a must!

Holy shit I literally bring no more than money, snacks and a lot of space to store stuff in xD Well the cons I go to are way smaller than Anime North as well

I brought tissues. Lots and lots of tissues. There's always that one anime or AMV that will make you cry buckets. Also: facial tissue serves for toilet paper if you find out too late that the stall you just used has run out of t.p.

I have a question is that usa-chan from ouran highschool host club in the background

At Comic Con they were giving free poster tubes with shoulder STRAPS on the for easy carrying around the convention so I would advise getting those tubes with a carry strap.

USA CHAN!

So excited for Anime North this year! It's my first con, so I'm watching every "How to, guide and what to bring to a con" video in existence :3

I know I'm literally 9 years late, but this video was SO SO helpful! I've never been to a con, but I'm super excited to change that. I love that you included all the things that you never really think about until you're hot, dehydrated and elbows deep in art on your 3rd day. So helpful for newbies like me! :D

Good times. I remember watching this the first time I went. Fourth time this year! Who are you cosplaying as?

Thank you so much! There is a convention next year and I know that I can rewatch this video!

What I took to my first convention (very helpful actually): Note: some cons have different rules for bags than others. My con had a bag check at the gate if you couldn’t just view inside so bring a tote bag vs a purse -Deodorant -Charger (taking pictures and video’s drains battery ) - Plastic Folder (you know your gonna buy that Bakugou print, don’t lie to me) - Lip balm/ Lip gloss( eating, drinking, and doing that nervous thing where you rub your lips together will wear off lip balm. Especially if the Ac is kicking or it’s cold out....well it’s summer as I write this but yknow) -Water!/Snacks! (Check your conventions rules for bringing in outside drinks/food first though) - Makeup wipes/ skin wipes (you’ll sweat which means things come off or your skin will get oily af. Not a fun feeling)

Omg this is amazing.I'm going to an anime con this weekend and this is going to help to much. Thx

which is a good pass to buy for a convention a daily pass or the special passes?

omg i love your room ♥♥♥

This is a great topic and video by the way.

I have this horrible habit of forgetting my convention badge at my house or in the hotel room. Once I was driving to a convention with my mom and I started freaking out because I forgot my convention badge but luckily my mom got a badge too so she gave me hers. Thx for the idea of putting my convention badge on my backpack XD that's really going to help in the future!

I’m going to my first con soon this was really helpful thank

This will help me I am trying to go to all the cons a can so thx curiouscloudy XD

If youre competing in a cosplay event you should bring all your materials for the competition, video, songs, voice overs, pictures, props, laptop if you need it. Also, I bring a list of everything I need for the convention TO the convention. Makes it easy to remember everything during the day when I need it and also when Im leaving for the day. And youre gonna wanna bring your makeup like someone said and your hair tools in case you need a touch up. Or even if you need a touch up for your costume armor or props, it might help to have some of that onhand, if its not too heavy or messy. Alot of poeple bring business cards to the cosplay but Im not willing to pay for business cards, I will just bring small print outs or small hand written pieces of paper with my contact info on it. Just print a few pieces of paper with your contact information appearing on each piece of paper repeatedly, cut them all out, or cut a sheet of paper into small pieces and write yor information on each piece.

what camera are you recording with and what one do you use for vlogging?

Thank you! This was very helpful!!

Thank you, Still helping me in 2017!

Thanks for the advice it's really gone help

(this is for the people who cosplay at cons) Bring a small cosplay repair kit! Not all cons have stations that you can repair your cosplay at. Trust me, it really helps to have that on you.

I'm gonna attend my first anime convention nxt week and this vid. totally helped me. Thx so much :D and WAITT!!!! Is that Usa-chan?!! O_O Are you a fan of Ouran Host Club??!! XD

I've only been to one con and while I got a pass for all three days, I was just so tired, so my mum is only getting me a one day pass this year for my birthday :). Also I would advise to bring a trolley if you can. I didn't take one last year, and I was stuck carrying around my bag, my lunch and the mech I got. (I didn't use a backpack :(...) Also thankfully the con is at a place I go to for the Sydney Royal Easter show so I know the lay-out. I also happend to take the train there, but it isn't that far from the con. Also thanks for some of the tips, I will also have more money this year so I get more Hetalia :D.

A sewing kit and small first aid kit is very handy, you never know when your cosplays (or you) are going to need repairing.

Could you record some panels of Anime North and uploaded it to your KZread channel, please? I would love to hear some of the news at the convention. I would be so grateful if you did.

omg thank you im going to anime convention this year and i wasnt sure p.s. i love your usa-chan from ouran plush ^~^

Thanks. Awesome info. ^_^

So what exsactly is a card

THINGS IN MY CONBAG: ID !!!! I AM clumsy so I have one of those cheap pocket first aid kits, a travel sewing kit for cosplay emergency (also duct-tape), basic make-up for cosplay basic travel meds: Pepto-Bismal (also DONT eat the pizza at the DT lol), Tylenyol, Votarren (topical muscle cream see above re: clumsy). A pocket umbrella or rain-poncho if it looks like rain (it looks like rain this year 2014)

whats the name of the song? It's sooo good? :P

Here's the thing with plastic bottles: You don't want to leave them in your car, esp. if it happens to be a hot day. The water won't be any good if you do.

what cameras do you use?

This really helped! Thank yew!

Well, hopefully you backpack doesn't contrast too much in color. But it doesn't really matter, honestly. If you're going with someone else and they won't be in the picture, kindly ask them to hold your bags. Or, like other people have said, put it under your gown near your feet.

For an anime convention do we have to wear a cosplay once we get there?

@88Shadowfrost

You don't have to have a cosplay, but if you're wearing a cosplay, you want to wear your cosplay TO the con. Putting on your cosplay at a con is living hell so put it on when you wake up, like regular clothes, go to the con/ walk proudly in the city with your cosplay on and arrive to the con with your stuff already on.

whenever I go to cons, I usu ally coaplay and I alway bring my cosplayers makeup and makeup wipes because you never know when you're going to touch up or something.

Depends on who you are, how much you're willing to spend, and what you want. Art prints range from $10-$20 (usually always $20) for one and maybe $30 for two from the same artist. It depends on the size and who the artist is sometimes. Whenever I go to cons I buy shit loads of prints so I spend well over a hundred dollars on just art. Then to top that off, normal merchandise isn't cheap either. Keychains can reach up to $10 and pins $3, figurines way over $20 usually and plushes about $15 and up. So cons are super expensive and if you're going to one, you should be ready to spend A LOT. And don't not bring any money if you're telling yourself you won't buy anything 'cause I can guarantee you'll find something unique there that you'll really want and then you'll be upset cause you didn't bring cash.

I really feel sorry for pale people or people who get sunburnt easily because I would always forget to put on sunscreen and I hate the feeling of sunscreen itself.. but woah, I've never even seen SPF 60! O-O ok I've never put sunscreen on in my entire life... I've never got sunburnt and I am kinda tanned but I don't really like it..
