Noitamina

noitaminA's title screen, which appears at the beginning of every show (Fuji TV only).

Noitamina (ノイタミナ, stylized noitaminA, "Animation" written backwards) is a Fuji Television programming block, devoted to anime, originally broadcast each Thursday night from 24:45 to 25:15 (or 00:45 to 1:15 Friday morning). It was launched with the intention of expanding the target audience beyond the typical young male demographic.[1]

The timeslot was expanded from half an hour to a full hour in 2010, and airs Thursday nights from 24:45 to 25:45 (or 00:45 to 1:45 Friday morning) but returned to half an hour timeslot in 2015 due to 5 noitaminA-produced films to be shown in Japanese theaters in the same year.[2] So far the only non-anime series aired on noitaminA was the live-action adaptation of Moyasimon: Tales of Agriculture in 2010.[3]

On April 15, 2010, Fuji TV and Funimation announced an agreement that allows Funimation to simulcast series from the noitaminA block in North America within an hour of their airing in Japan.[4]

Notes

  1. ↑ All series before the change to an hour time-slot started at 24:45. Starting with The House of Five Leaves and The Tatami Galaxy, one show started at 24:45 and the second at 25:15. If there is a dash (—) and not a time, the show was part of the half-hour block and started at 24:45.
  2. ↑ Anohana was rebroadcast at noitaminA in 2013
  3. ↑ Psycho-Pass was rebroadcast at noitaminA in 2014. The series was re-edited into 11 one-hour episodes
  4. ↑ Katanagatari was a rerun which aired in both slots
  5. ↑ Last two episodes aired during the final week pushing its episode total to 13 that includes episode 0 that aired on its start date.
  6. ↑ Starting April 2015, noitaminA's timeslot will be reduced from an hour-long to half an hour. There will only be one anime shown per season in the block. The cause of the timeslot-reducing is because of 6 noitaminA-produced anime films to be shown in the same year. It is still unknown whether the timeslot will be reverted back to its hour-long run in 2016.
