At the start of noitaminA animes, there is a loading screen with lots of text
appearing onscreen.

![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/dDzNN.jpg)

Looking closer, I noticed mentions of Eden of the East , Monokoe and Tales of
Agriculture - so I reckon there are some Easter Eggs hidden in the rest of the
text also.

Unfortunately, all the images I have found are too low resolution to make out
what they say.

Can anyone reveal the super-secret messages that lie in noitaminA's loading
screen?

What does the small text say in the noitaminA intro?


Odd that you mention it, because it seems that Studio Rikka (of _Pale Cocoon_
and _Time of Eve_ fame) was released in the production. The particular UI is
done in the style of Time of Eve. No, this probably doesn't mean Time of EVE
II is confirmed.

It says, on the top left:

> noitaminA jingle movie - TYPE: Augemented Reality (ar) Version 1.10.03.23
> (b) 2010 made by Studio Rikka.

> No drive attached to Animation, The BIOS is not installed.

> Checking files system C: The type of the file system is Augmented Reality.
>

The bottom right says:

> (A, {{backwards R}} logo img) 拡張現実 (augmented reality) AUGUMENT REARTY

With thanks to user @Prix for linking this to me, and reddit user herrekorre

I think this section is fairly easy to read.

I'm sure it's missing stuff here and there, but this solves the mystery of the
small text. It's mainly synopses and similar small items of text related to
noitaminA.
