Join Morgan Berry for a Question and Answer Session. Ask about everything you've ever wanted to know: How has the industry changed since you started? What's your favorite anime? What's it like being a triplet? Answers to these and other questions can be found when you join us for her Q&A Panel!

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.

Indiana Jones may have found some cool lost treasures, but he hasn’t found these! From buried Shogun gold and missing samurai swords to sunken ships and early hominid fossils, Japan has no shortage of incredible lost treasures. Who knows where these might be? After all, these belong in a museum!

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.​

Join Vitamin H as we explore the universe of magical girls, from the early inspirations in American TV to the modern, ultra-slick shows that captivate audiences throughout the world.
