Creator / noitaminA

A weekly late-night programming block on Japan's Fuji Television, devoted to anime series targeted at audiences lying outside of typical anime-watching demographics. Despite the time slot, series broadcast under the noitaminA flag generally attract a sizable viewership, and have developed a reputation for high quality. It was first launched on April 14, 2005, with an adaptation of Honey and Clover.

noitaminA currently airs a half-hour anime per season.^note A notable exception to this rule is Psycho-Pass, as its third season decided to switch up its format from half-hour to hour long episodes. As such the slot was temporarily expanded. From spring 2010 to fall 2014, the timeslot was expanded to an hour, consisting of two half-hour shows per season. The timeslot was reverted back to half-hour starting with the winter 2015 season onward, as noitaminA decided to focus more on producing theatrical anime. In 2019 alone, the block produced six theatrical films, so you can understand why it chose to cut its workload. In 2021, it once again temporarily expanded its timeslot to a hour to air The Promised Neverland Season 2 and 2.43 Seiin High School Boy's Volleyball Team before reverting back to its half-hour format later on in the year.

Its official Japanese website is here, with a somewhat less up-to-date English version available as well.

From 2016 to 2018, Fuji TV signed a deal with Amazon to exclusively stream and simulcast series from the noitaminA block through their Prime Video service on March 17, 2016, starting with Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, with The Promised Neverland being the first title since the deal to no longer be exclusive to Prime Video outside Japan.

The name is "Animation" backwards, in case you're wondering. By the way, unintentionally or not, "noita" sounds like "noite", the Portuguese word for "night".
