Oyajicons rejoice! If you like your anime men to be a bit more on the mature side, maybe with a beard or a bit of scruffy stubble, then you’re not alone! Come join Vitamin H for this hour-long collection of the best ossans anime has to offer, including some you might not’ve met before.

While male homosexuality has been well-documented in Japan since samurai days, love between women, well, hasn’t. Yuri – lesbian manga and literature – has a relatively recent history in Japan, owing largely to Japan’s strict gender roles and conservative culture. Vitamin H documents the history of this genre, which most certainly extends past the blushing fanservice seen in today’s anime.​

For more than 50 years, we've been enchanted by the frilly pink badasses known as magical girls.

A panel about geikomi, yaoi's older, beefier brother. Written by and for gay Japanese men, these stories feature guys who're bold, brash, bodacious and decidedly burly. If you're looking for an LGBT History panel with a heaping helping of gratuitous male nudity, you're sure to love this panel!

America has been importing Those Weird Asian Cartoons for longer than most of us have been alive, and the journey from animation cel to your television or computer has been longer and more storied than you might think.

Join Vitamin H as we chart a course through the OVAs, TV shows, the games, and more.
