This is a free, representative 30% sample of the Large Anime Text Dataset: 10,729 anime works and 713,238 rows, drawn from the full 35,766-work release. Sampling is stratified by (license_tier, split) with seed 42, and every child row of a sampled work is kept, so the preview has the same tables, fields, split logic and licence mix as the full release.

Licence mix in this preview

The sample preserves the full release's obligations:

Tier Works What it means
cc0_only 291 CC0-1.0; reuse freely
permission_required 3,398 AniList/Kitsu terms do not grant redistribution; written permission needed
unresolved 7,040 No permission basis identified; do not redistribute

Splits: test 537, train 9,656, val 536 works. Only the cc0_only works are free of upstream obligations; the rest are included so the preview is representative, not because redistribution has been cleared.

Quick start

from datasets import load_dataset

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

Formats: JSONL (canonical), Parquet, CSV for the anime table. 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.
