Licence tiers in this release

Tier Works What it means
cc0_only 969 CC0-1.0; reuse freely
permission_required 11,330 AniList/Kitsu terms do not grant redistribution; written permission needed
unresolved 23,467 No permission basis identified; do not redistribute

Every anime row is assigned the strictest tier implied by its sources (unresolved > permission_required > cc0_only). The tier describes this dataset's provenance obligation, not the copyright status of the underlying work.

Quick start

from datasets import load_dataset

qa = load_dataset("muqeet-1138/anime-text-dataset", "qa", split="train")
anime = load_dataset("muqeet-1138/anime-text-dataset", "anime", split="train")

Formats: JSONL (canonical), Parquet, CSV for the anime table and SQLite in the full release. Splits are assigned per anime work (90/5/5, seed 42), so no record of a work leaks across train/validation/test.

Licensing

Original code, documentation, selection/arrangement and project-generated text are CC-BY-4.0 (Muhammad Muqeet). Metadata and retained upstream prose keep their own terms; see NOTICE, LICENSE_AUDIT.md, attribution.json, sources.jsonl and provenance.jsonl.

The full release retains upstream synopses, character biographies, episode summaries and tag definitions. They are excluded from the CC-BY-4.0 grant and remain subject to the named source's terms; every prose row carries prose_source and prose_license. Attribution is not permission. Gating is not a licence.
