The following are my personal thoughts and manner of answer the question above.Ï  Would go there dressed up as my favorite anime character. I'd pretty much find a musical instrument that I'm good at and walk around cosplayers (preferibly villains) trying to play their anime's opening or even the character's theme itself.~ |

| I am not good at crowded places lol. I would buy some merch and leave. |
 "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost." |
| Take mental images of the cosplayers |
| Get thrown out for sexually harassing the slutty cosplayers. |

| Oh I've been to a few and I normally end up buying a couple of manga volumes/graphic novels, art and merch as well as checking out panels if they've got any interesting ones. |
Take care of yourself |
| I have never been to an anime convention despite watching hundreds of of shows. I think I am afraid to see what other anime fans look like in real life. |

(not a lot of people can actually pull it off) I'd love to cosplay as a female version of Ryuk myself.~ (add huge black wings to the outfit and paint my face like his eehee) https://sketchtoy.com/68924479  |

| Having been to a couple I can safely say I'd leave immediately. |
 |
| I dunno, man. Been so long, I probably wouldn't understand wth is going on. I just learned what a BTS was yesterday (it has nothing to do with sex). |

| i just got back from salt lake comic con an hour ago actually. i like buying merch (unless it’s just resellers overpricing the fuck outta everything) and shit. i kinda like to cosplay too, but they’re always super simple, i was dressed ness from earthbound today. i’ve been a team rocket grunt in the past. conventions are a bit overwhelming but fun with some friends i guess |
 |
| I regularly go to the Japan Expo in Paris, and what I do is mostly walking around, looking around shops, maybe buy something interesting, then walk even more around, looking at cosplays of people. If I weren't in a relationship already though I would definitely hit on female cosplayers. |
its all about you either get compound interest in your bank account for future use or waste it on stupid anime shit |
| Photos for collection! And save it in Google Drive |

| I always buy a lot of merch and see my fave cosplayers (if there's an opportunity) |

It's I just don't do good in big social gatherings which I suppose that's what you could consider a convention and I have an anxiety about how I'd come off to fans of anything because generally you have to know enough things off top of your head or wind up coming off feeling like an outsider. Even online I am not good at discussing anime because I am terrible with names and my memory isn't the best. I have same problem with concerts and music festivals. Plus I have no friends to go with.... |

Even online I am not good at discussing anime because I am terrible with names and my memory isn't the best. I have same problem with concerts and music festivals. Plus I have no friends to go with.... Not everybody at conventions are extrovertive people, I think even the opposite is the case. I mean nobody forces you to speak to people and you still can enjoy the con. I mean I was already going alone to conventions cause my girlfriend is not into it and as long as you know what you are going for you can still have a lot of fun. And if you come into unforced smalltalk with people, that's cool too! Not everybody are anime gurus at conventions. Same goes with concerts and festivals. |
| Going dressed up as something is probably the most fun thing to do, apart from maybe having to pose for photos with a few weirdos. Looking around at all the vendors and buying some weeb merch is fun too. |
 |
| I spend a lot of time drinking and in the artist alley. |
| Where's the option for all off the above? lol Anime conventions, especially where I live in the southern United States.Are pretty laid back. I often see people sitting on the floor just chilling, or in some rare cases. Taking a nap lol |
 |
| If I ever went to one, I'd probably like to be a part of a show-themed cosplay group and cosplay as a character from different shows each day there. |
| I went to a few before. Panels with seiyuus and mangakas definitely was my favorite thing. Panels about old/obscure anime were also my thing, but they were most of the time crawling with nervous yet talkative people who seems desperate to be your friend. |
| Going to anime convention is mostly the time for me to catch up with my friend since we can be so busy at times. If not I will mostly just browse the merchandise or do photography. |
 |
| i've been to a few before, walking around the convention to see the cosplayers and kpoppers dancing, see the cosplay contest, and the most important, spend all my money in mangas and food |
  |
| I usually am just a con-goer and just take up a lot of photos and selfies. Like this cosplay for example... I mean man look at the details https://upcomingcons.com/galleries/101059/pictures/1667259 source: https://upcomingcons.com/pics Also this sounds just as badass... I saw a youtube video about this before "Walk around cosplayers with a musical instrument and attempt to play their anime's opening/themes with it.~" |

サディスティックな考え "JUST KILL ME." サディスティックマインド |
| Every time I go to a convention I usually just end up getting photos of some of the cosplayers and wander around looking at the booths but not buying anything. Maybe I'll find a cool stranger to talk to and maybe they'll be a cool stage show to watch but otherwise, I don't do much. The first convention I ever went to I actually ended up dancing madly in the stage area with five strangers in cosplay after the shows had ended and that was the best memory I have of going to conventions. Never met these guys again, but I hope they're doing alright. Hope they're living their best life. |
| Cons were worth it around I live until 2012-2013. They suck nowadays, since the anime part wasn´t the most important aspect, now. But in the 2000s, them were the coolest. Awesome cosplayers, variety of official merch, shows with real J-pop singers (I still can´t believe I got to see Wada Kouji singing the best Digimon songs! RIP, my dude.) and much, muuuch more. I loved to sing in karaoke contests, I even got 2nd place once. And overall, chill and play games with friends I used to meet there. Food also used to be cheaper, including Japanese snacks. |
| "Could you not talk with me? I'm busy breathing." |
| I go to a minimum of one convention per year, though when I can I try to hit another one. There's only one near me now, but when I lived in Texas my record was four in one year. These days I'll hit a couple panels and go to the concert if I'm interested, but a majority of my time if spent shopping in the dealer room and artist alley. Merch collecting is my biggest hobby outside of actually watching anime/reading manga, so this is the biggest draw of a convention for me. It's basically a huge, 3-day shopping trip. I keep extensive wish lists, including a Google Sheet to track what manga volumes I own and am missing, and have favorite booths that I line up for if necessary (used to be Good Smile, but they seem to have stopped coming to my con, so I generally favor the idol merch booth nowadays). Hunting for rare and unique merch is my greatest pleasure. I always go to the AMV contest as well. Although I sometimes wish it wasn't like...three hours (I'm pretty fatigued by the end), it's always enjoyable. I cosplay sometimes, but usually it feels like too much trouble. Wigs really hurt my head, and I'm usually too cold or too hot, and I always feel more stressed out when I'm cosplaying. When I do, I always just spend the third day in a sheep kigurumi since it's cozy and I can literally wear PJs underneath. I usually leave the con once the dealer room closes. I have two dogs, so I go home a little early so I can take care of them. My older dog is very sensitive to me being gone and will literally get sick for two weeks if I stay out too long. There are times I wish I could stay late at conventions, but I'm "old" and get tired easily, so it's probably for the best. My ritual on the last day is to watch the AMV contest awards, make one last round of the dealer room, and head to my local Kinokuniya where I spend any remaining money. Then I'll stop at a restaurant for food, head home, take pictures of my haul, and begin the unboxing process and put it all away. Sorry for the wall of text but conventions are amazing. Two more months until my local one fires up again, and I'm super psyched! |
