This is definitely one of the screens I ws looking for... couldn't find any good stuff online, so I build a very humble one myself. Since I am not using any fancy Ncurses to better control the chars positioning on screen, it was hard to bring the Japanese chars down, instead of up... in the end, I sensed the feeling was about the same, so I decided to release like this.
All opened for improvement suggestions, and patches, if you find any problems!
Planning to release 0.1.1 soon, with this screen included!
Enjoy!
Here is the help info for this one (that's all I could come up with, lol):
Update (2012-04-15):
Received message from Twitter @Metztli_IT, asking about fonts to display Japanese characters. Nice one! I just tested with clean installation machines, without any problems, using the Monospace font by default. Let me know if anyone is facing font problems.

Screen: matrix Description: displays a matrix movie alike screensaver Usage: termsaver matrix [options] Options: -g, --granularity an integer value to define how dirt should the screen be. Default value is [10]. Use something like [1] for clean style, or a [100] for total dirt. -d, --delay Defines the speed (in seconds) of the character movement. Default value is [0.09] (in seconds). -k, --kana-only Displays only Japanese characters (excludes alpha numeric). -z, --zenkaku Displays full-width (fattish) Japanese characters. By default it displays half-width characters. -h, --help Displays this help message Examples: $ termsaver matrix -g 100 This will print out random characters in maximum dirt (using almost the entire screen space). Try [1] for very clean results. $ termsaver matrix -g 5 -d 0.001 -k This will give a cleaner print than the default, much faster with only Japanese characters. -- See more information about this project at: http://termsaver.info Report bugs to authors at: http://github.com/brunobraga/termsaver
