Are you attending your first anime convention? It is time to make new friends, explore your interests, and immerse yourself in the world of anime and manga! Follow our guide to make the most out of your first convention. 

 

 

Plan Ahead

 

Proper planning is the key to a stress-free day! Do your research by checking out the convention's schedule, guest lineup, and panel offerings, then make a list of the activities and events you don't want to miss. This helps you in creating a schedule that maximises your enjoyment of the convention without feeling overwhelmed.

 

Dress to Impress (or Chill!)

 

Got a killer cosplay or an itabag decorated with your favourite character's merch? Awesome! But if cosplaying isn't your thing, no worries, just make sure to throw on some comfy clothes. Comfortable shoes are a must, as you'll likely be doing a fair amount of walking.

Pack Essentials

 

Pack water, snacks, and a portable charger (powerbank!) for your devices for a comfortable convention experience. A small backpack or tote bag will come in handy for carrying any merchandise or freebies you pick up along the way.

 

 

 

 

Prepare a Budget

 

Before you hit the convention floor, set a budget for yourself as it is easy to get caught up in the excitement and overspend. Having a clear budget will help you prioritise your spending and ensure you don't miss out on the items you truly want. it is all about striking a balance between indulging in your fandom and being financially responsible.

 

 

Respect Boundaries

 

While the anime community is friendly and inclusive, you must respect personal boundaries. Always ask for permission before taking someone's photo, and be mindful of personal space. Most conventions have designated areas for photoshoots, so take advantage of those spaces to capture the perfect shot.
