NANIme?!

Inspiration

• Being a weeb and constantly forgetting names of animes
• The relevant xkcd fnder

What it does

NANIme?! lets the user input a brief description of an anime and generates a list of names of potential animes matching that description.

How I built it

Term frequency–inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) calculations over a database of synopses of animes provided by https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/.

Challenges I ran into

It was a bit difficult to retrieve data from anime sites.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Managed to actually get this project working. I've already used it once to find an anime that I forgot the name of (it was Kokoro Connect).

What I learned

What's next for NANIme?!

I plan to get it on a webserver, increase the size of the anime database, and add checking of synonyms/related words to increase the accuracy of predictions.
