20 Things To Consider To Survive Anime Expo's

Well, if you are looking to fully enjoy the event whilst surviving it here are a few tips for you Rookie:

• Go with a friend

The more the Merrier! (Or bring a lot of money... -_- that always seems to boosts ones confidence for some weird reason)

• Save Up For the Event

Save up for the event and bring extra money after you are done budgeting because there are times when the cash runs low and you end up in situations that require money that you had never put in your budget.

• Book In Advance

Book the Hotel rooms in advance if you are attending the 3-7 day events, because if you book on the spot they charge a higher rate due to the fact that that is late booking.

• Dress To Impress

Put on something very very comfortable because you would be doing a lot of walking/traveling. Alot!

• Don't Carry Too Much Stuff

Don't carry too much stuff into the convention unless you have a reason to, you would be leaving with a lot of things you can't carry alone and your hotel might not be nearby.

• Cosplay

Cosplaying gets all the attention in the right ways XD (As always keep it comfortable.

• Know You Anime Character Lines

Know your Anime character lines. I can't stress this enough, if you don't know the lines of background story of your character you might end up looking bad, not that anybody would point it out though.

• Know the Songs

Know the most popular Anime songs (OPs and EDs) in case you plan to do karaoke.

• Plan Your Time

To get to meet the most popular guys/gals/things at the Anime conventions/expo and you'd have to mark their venues opening times in order to avoid stalling to half a day or hours in a queue.

• Remember Your Roots

Since it is an event organized like Anime fans like yourself and I (and fans from all walks of life). Don't be expecting classy 5 Star services. I say this so you know the effort put into these events, and though things are changing and bigger players are moving into the event, always keep in mind that this is a fan contributed even and Luxuries like Taxi pickups and drops, organized group outings etc... are not provided. That sort of thing you should organize on your own, or you could introduce the concept.

• 15 Minute Toilet Rule

Go to the toilets 15 minutes prior to feeling like doing a no.1 or no.2. Better yet do that before leaving your Hotel.

• Brush up on your Gaming Skills

If you are into Gaming and Competition then brush up on your "Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm" skills and if you win you might get some money.

• Bring Water

Bring water or something to drink with you.

• Queue In Advance For Food

Food stalls have long queues but are worth the wait in the end especially the curry, sushi or ramen stalls.

• Pack Your Own Food

Don't like waiting? Pack your own food in a "Bento" and attract positive attention (or you could eat a sandwich it always beats carrying a Bento).

• Get Ready To Act to Impress

Brush up on your acting or Camera skills. Someone is bound.

• Stock Up On Interesting Questions To Ask Anime Characters

Stock up interesting questions for the "ask your fav anime character a question". You only got 1 shot at this.

• Get Ready To Have a Hard Time Finding a Parking Lot

It is hard to find a parking spot if you can by car. So if you could afford it go to the event via a cab or the venues private shuttles. It will save you a lot of trouble.

• Ask First Photos Later

Ask before taking photo's or videos. Your fellow Otaku's would more than welcome a photo from you or with you.

• Plan Ahead On The Venues To Visit

List the events you are planing to go to and leave room for more. This way you will enjoy the events more knowing that you have dipped your feet in everything.

• Senpai Will Notice You - Really He Will

Senpai will notice you if you Cosplay as a Kouhai. He or she will be popping up once in awhile in different styles so keep that in mind ;). 0_0 No, seriously. KeepThat In Mind!

Senapi will notiec you!

Lastly, prepare to have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself. That is what is most important. And incase I missed any feel free to note it here for me.
