Anime Convention Survival Guide

[RedbloodVampiress]

THIS WAS A GREAT VIDEO! :D

Now I'm excited and PUMPED for AB 2012! THANK YOU!!!

Btw, You have an Amazing Voice! <3 

[otakugirl111]

i really need this i was thinking of going this year

[kcsonicfirestar1]

lol im hoping to cosplay Hidan soon :D i cant wait >:D but i also have to cosplay sebastian......and Axel holy jashin thats alot to cosplay i guess one for each day?

[kiki5055]

Rule on body spray: Axe is not a substitute for a shower. I will tell you guys, there is nothing more off putting than the smell of rank b.o. marinated with a buttload of collogne. BUT there is nothing that makes me want to hug a random guy at a con more than that freshly showered with a light spritz of nice cologne smell <3 So if you wanna get on cute girls' good sides. Take showers. and less is more with body sprays.

[AdrenalineRevolver97]

Medication. :3 You're lovely for mentioning that. Especially when tons of people are slathered in perfume and colonge. They can kill meeee. ;w;

[Lingyaokitty]

HAHAHA XDD

I'm laughing a lot, thanks xDDDD

[g2fingers]

OK! Who was the ONE douche bag who disliked this vid?! cuz u know who u r, and i got one thing to say to u: SCREW U!

[dandarknight001]

can 10 years old people go to the anime convention

[kcsonicfirestar1]

@dandarknight001 yeah just you cant go to the Yaoi or Yuri rooms trust me its safe to go. i went to A-kon 23 that was my first con and i was EXTREAMLY unprepared listen to this all that he is saying is true! oh yeah and you cant go to Hentai fest just trust me on this one O30

[cynder199]

can't wait til im old nuff to go to a con by myself

[AnimeNovice2010]

i wouldnt do the body spray, some (like me) r really sensitive to aromas

[Saiyuki0306]

Thanks for the vid. ^__^

[DarknessDragoonRose]

Lmfao this shit is hilarious, thanks alot dude! :D

[Animefan071ify]

I`ve always wanted to go to a con out of Nashville good tips :D

[Krimsonice]

@Animefan071ify Ok, this is a short funny story, me and 4 friends and a bus. All I can say its use the restroom at home and eat a breakfast so large that it will hold you for 6 hours......LOL, or you can fly if you have the cash, but I strongly suggest A-Kon, because I have met people from all over american and some from other countries. Dare I say it. A-Kon is the biggest Anime Con in America. I haven't seen any others that pack in over 10,000 people on opening day.

[missdeathknight13579]

@Krimsonice Akon is in Dalllas right? Im hoin there for the first time this year with my friend! :D

[Krimsonice]

@Animefan071ify Just a side tip, get your tickets and rooms now!!

[Animefan071ify]

@Krimsonice okay i`m alredy going to mtac my thrid time

[ChefdeEpique]

The last three survival guides for cons had naruto references... Wtf!?!?!

[badbobby92]

u forgot about water, they always run out, keep a fue refreshments just in cast.

[Krimsonice]

@badbobby92 They never really run out of water at the cons I've gone too, but good point for the lines. Most of the hotels I have been to keep a refill station about every 100 ft. and most have fountains, and if all else fails sinks can refill those Ramune bottles........^_^! GOOD point though.

[chaobreeder16]

I really like your emphasis on hygiene, people could learn from this

[d1n0saur44]

I love this video so much, but he sounded kinnda weeaboish... ^_^

[UniVersAlOtakU]

haha great vid man :D i agree with everything you said. its important especially when you are staying at a con for days and cosplaying all day.

[usagiXrookia]

LOL "You too ladies, Y'all can bring up some funk too!" And he is so right, all this stuff is important, especially if you are in cosplay. The deoderant, if you don't have it, you will regret it. This guy knows what he is talking about! Please take showers everynight /day!!! The thing about food is a really good point too. Try to eat normal meals if you can, but always have something to snack on you. You will get hungry, and its hard to go out and eat when you are busy doing so much as it is!

[kirakira006]

Haha (1 like for u mate!)

[kirakira006]

I like your snowflake blankie, this is very hygienic!

[CosplayAnonymae]

you should totally come to san japan!

- Narami and Rena

[MysticalUnicorn3]

Thank you for uploading this! I am going to an Anime con soon and this really helped me plan out early ^_^

By the way, go Cowboys!!

[Warriorsrule2]

Nice Bag! GO COWBOYS!

[Krimsonice]

@Warriorsrule2 COWBOYS!!!! Dang Right

[Warriorsrule2]

@Krimsonice I feel so mortified though, they lost to the Giants last night . . .

[Krimsonice]

@Warriorsrule2 That's Right..........YeeeHaww!

[jessthecoolkitty]

COWWWWWWBOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYS! I agree with you, man.

[akaimurasaki1]

NARUTONESS OMG HAHAHA

[mewkhai]

Lol you really know how 2 make convention tips fun XD

[Krimsonice]

@LovelyRoxas13 The short answer everything. The long answer. First take a super deep breath. Now don't be affraid to tell people this is your first con, and let them know your into anime off the bat. Your a virgin so go at this slowly. We don't want you blowing all your money on the first day, Like someone we know(ME ^_^). Pace yourself. Saturday dealer rooms are the best they bring out all the good stuff, so try to get there early. Sundays dealers get desperate best time to buy videos.

[Hikakemi]

I loves you ; o ;

[psygobro]

ur kinda awesome dude! xD and SO right!

[Rahhhsajp19]

[origindirewolf]

[Krimsonice]

@lucytragedy1240 Awww that hurts my feelings you THINK you LOve me.....LOL

[allisnoforevluv]

[Krimsonice]

@allisnoforevluv No you may not! :)

[GrimReaper12833]

Lol imma cry over the Condoms and Toilet Paper thing x3 he's like "make sure you bring atleast one" im thinking how the ***** is toilet paper gonna help that situation lol.

[GrimReaper12833]

Lol should have listen better my bad Lmao

[Krimsonice]

@GrimReaper12833 No matter what you think? Your hand does not make a good cleaning agent......LOL

[Krimsonice]

@xGamingGirlx I'm glade I could be of service madam!

[GRRR4WR]

I went to an anime convention, and we went past the gamer room, and this terrible smell just started wafting out of there Dx Also, the elevators there WERE CRAZY. The went down and up so fast it felt like it was one of those crazy thrill rides that drop you. o.o;; It was scary!

[Krimsonice]

@GRRR4WR I know, but even with the crazy smells, death-race elevators, and the countless random comments......These are our people, and we must bathe them.......LOL. I hope you had a good time despite the smell and long long long long long long long long long long lines.

[sakurasfavfan]

Little kid going to aime-co for the first time: mommy, what's condoms?

Mom: Bob!! Get ur a** in here and listen to what ur son is saying!!

[Krimsonice]

[Ichigomay1991]

[LaDeathMachine]

[ArbynChiefFAN001]

[Krimsonice]

@ArbynChiefFAN001 Well fell free to ask I will help as much as I can........And thanks for listening to my Lovely voice......LOL

[XxDreamsxAnimesxX]

You made me laugh hard dude :) Thanks for the information I am sure I'll need it! Hygiene is a must, thanks for making sure of that xD

[LordMurcielago]

[Krimsonice]

@LordMurcielago I love that song, makes me feel all happy inside!

[JadeLZ123]

THANK YOU ! im going to my first con in febuary and i was freaking out i didn't know what to expect and plus im 12 i would be crushed by the wise people of con so thanks alot ...again O.o



[LaDeathMachine]

dude, ive watched this over and over and over again! this is a great help! thanks, man! :D

[TheAntiVentus]

THEY DON'T JUST HAVE YAOI-CONS THEY HAVE HENTAI-CONS...So that's why you have to be over 18.... O_O

[BurgerKing201]

Dude, you are probably the most awesome pre-anime convention guy!

[Krimsonice]

@BurgerKing201 Thank you, I try......^_^!

[potatoyumyum89]

This is sooo helpful i'm going to a convention in July and I'm excited and nervous at the same time! Btw: I'm bringing pocky :3

[Krimsonice]

@potatoyumyum89 You will survive just fine.......because all you need is pocky, be sure to barter.....LOL

[potatoyumyum89]

That's the same deoderant I have..... freaky

[Krimsonice]

@potatoyumyum89 Hey it works......and it's cheap.......$_$

[SuperEpiclyRandom]

I find it funny how the condoms say "large size", lol. Btw, what should girls bring if they go to a hentai panel?? lol

[Krimsonice]

@SuperEpiclyRandom Please bring a since of understanding and fun. Some girls bring well.....Nothing........Just kidding, but seriously, it's an adult event for people who love adult events, so bring whatever it is you need to bring to keep yourself safe and still have fun......Was that vague enough?

[Krimsonice]

@SuperEpiclyRandom Birthcontrol pill O_o.......Just kidding

[AnimeAspieFanatic]

Thank you for enforcing the HYGIENE issue!! That is a MUST! I don't mind giving fellow Otaku hugs (I'm going to my 3rd convention in about 2 weeks) but have some common courtesy for the rest of your kind and at least pop some deodorant on!!!

[Krimsonice]

@AnimeAspieFanatic Anytime! I'm a fan of clean

[glenburg89]

Lol, very great and practical information.

I'll be going to an upcoming convention next Friday!

[cindi86rai]

XD this was funny and helpful!

[Krimsonice]

@cindi86rai I`m happy that i could help. I love the cindi86rai name?lol

[AlliedHeather]

omggg TOILET PAPER my group at Kollisioncon ran out on the third day

Pillpopping ohhh i love pill popping (jkjk)

Great video *shows to virgins*

[Krimsonice]

@AlliedHeather Awesome



[TheQueerGiraffe]

T typed this comment at 1:42 AM, a day before my first con. o_O

[Krimsonice]

@TheQueerGiraffe Did you have fun? ^_^

[TheQueerGiraffe]

@Krimsonice Heck yeah! But I understand what you meant about people with bad hygiene. o_e

[Pacmanghost]

Honestly, I'm really not an anime fan. However, I'm a HUGE fan of anime conventions, so I go to them all the time.

[cutiepotlipsorange]

LOL you are very clean! The ending was funny!

[Krimsonice]

@cutiepotlipsorange Thanks I try to clean my personality at least once a day.......Thanks for the comment

[TheMangaFanatic]

Hey man thanks for the video, I'm goin to my first con this saturday! I'm gonna cosplay as Sora from kingdom hearts 2. This video was really helpful! thanks!

[Krimsonice]

@TheMangaFanatic I am happy I could help...........That is brave, I there are many Sora. Remember small details are the way to beat your opponents.

[guineagirl6]

nice vid :D your really funny

[Krimsonice]

@guineagirl6 Thank you so much sorry for the late response work has been kicking my booty.

[sjch1994]

Hahah, you are really funny. And thanks for all the tips, they're really helpful!

[Krimsonice]

@sjch1994 I'm happy I could help

[aRavensTear]

Are you going to A-Kon 22...im going with my friends....p.s. you remind me of KillerBee from naruto you should cosplay him....

[Krimsonice]

@aRavensTear Thanks that is awesome, I never thought about cosplaying as him..........NICE ^_^. I am trying to figure out how to get out of work to go. They don't really like to let me out.........LOL, But I will let you know personally, thanks for the view.

[aRavensTear]

@Krimsonice KillerBee also isnt a very expencive character to cosplay......your boss should go to an anime convention so he nows how awesome it is and a person NEEDS to be excused....LOL.....this was so funny when i watched it i couldnt stop laughing.....yay and your welcome ^_^....

[Krimsonice]

The Best Kon would have to be A-Kon 21, for reasons I am not a loud to say on here, but it was the best, and the worst one had to be Atsui Kon, because it ran out of money on it's second day in houston, and the Kon officials started to beg for money and I would have to say that was lame.

[58serenity]

@Krimsonice  kool wat r some of the best room i should vist?

[Krimsonice]

@58serenity You really want to check out the voice acting panel, not only will you learn some cool things about voice acting, you may even land a job. Another great room to visit is the Yuri rooms (if your into that sort of thing), but it's a good way to pick up tips to get glumped. I'm on not sure which convention your going to, but all have this room, the Atarashii(new) Anime room the best place to see stuff that your friends won't get to see for weeks, months, years, or ever....LOL.

[58serenity]

@Krimsonice kool wat r some of the best room i should vist?

y do i need to bring $1 bills

[Krimsonice]

@58serenity $1 are good because a lot of the dealers run out of change fast, when I said $1 I just meant very small bills, but $1 are ideal because a lot of things at the conventions are pretty cheap except the anime-related items. Here's a good rule to follow "20 is pleanty to arm myself, 10 and below will keep me on the go." It just means if you plan on buying a weapon or something to wear $20's are your friend, but if you are going to buy candy, food, or trinkets $10's are good.

[58serenity]

what was the best and wrost anime convention have u been 2?

[58serenity]

out of all the convention help u and one other person have helped me sooooooo much thx :D

[Krimsonice]

@58serenity No problem ^_^

[58serenity]

kool

wat do u think sasuke or kakashi?

i'm a bit on the heavy size though:(

[58serenity]

thxs :D

if i dress up as sasuke or kakashi (with sign) will i get glomped?

even though im a girl:l

[Krimsonice]

@58serenity Are you kidding? Girls Glomp Girls all the time.......... :D

[58serenity]

great vid. :D

do u have any ideas of how to get glomped? i want to so bad.

[Krimsonice]

@58serenity Let's see so many ways.....1. Be asian, and you will spend all your time getting glomped. 2. Dress as a furry...Definate glomp material. 3.Where a sign that says glomp me, but I warn you there are some heavy-hitters at the Kon and I am not responsible for spinal damage.......^_^!...4. Medicinal help, but I don't recommend or endorse it. 5. Just go to Hentai fest, Glomp central. 6. This is a super Tip, buy a girl pocky........and let the Glomping begin...........Hope this helps

[thewhitefang16]

i saw like ten vids about this and they all said to bring like ten thousand things ok help i cant bring like all that stuff so please tell me the best things to take and btw best vid i saw xD

[Krimsonice]

@thewhitefang16 Here are the best things: I didn't mention. 1. cellphone or walkie talkie if you are in a group 2. spray deoderant if you will be wearing a costumes 3. about $100 in ones, or $300 if you buy weapons like me atm will be empty 4.camera 5. backpack to put your stuff in to keep your hands free and to carry meds if you need them. These are the best things to be prepared. MOST IMPORTANT BRING AN OPEN MIND TO FUN!!!

[thewhitefang16]

@Krimsonice thanks also just asking in april will be my first con so i know you need a ticket but is it a good idea to buy it when im there

[Krimsonice]

@thewhitefang16 Dear God No, buy online the lines are horrible. If you buy it there you will be in line for about an hour of your convention time. What kon are you going to too? Are you going to akon?

[thewhitefang16]

@Krimsonice no castle point anime con in hoboken new jersey

[Vozzost]

[Krimsonice]

@misstresssasori Thank you I hope to make more videos to help you and anyone else out. I'll let you in on a secret i'm working on short cuts to help navigate the Kon faster.

[tedpolk9391]

wish you could refer people videos on spot, I smelled same bad odors around A-Kon here and there

[Krimsonice]

@tedpolk9391 Yes I tried to prevent it, but I guess like all things important they get pushed aside.

[zninja141]

hes right about the deodorant. after half a day being shirtless ninja, and the other half being a slave neko, then the rave i was surprised that the only part of my body that didnt reek was my pits

[Krimsonice]

@zninja141 I think I saw you after the rave all the girls were trying to guess who you were, you had a green shirt for a ninja mask........LOL

[iheartneji13]

Hahahaha, you sir are amazing.

A-kon this year was really awesome :)

I hope you had fun :D

[Krimsonice]

@iheartneji13 I had a blast, I may have a picture of you I took pictures of everyone

[coreyk26675]
