The Anime Chooser-Selector project is a Python-based tool designed to assist users in discovering new anime and manga recommendations based on their watched items and selected genres. It leverages the MyAnimeList API to retrieve details about anime and manga titles and employs a recommendation system using TF-IDF vectorization and cosine similarity to suggest relevant titles. Users can input their watched anime and manga, select preferred genres, and receive personalized recommendations tailored to their interests.
In the recent update (Version 2.0), several new features and improvements have been introduced to enhance the functionality and user experience of the Anime Chooser-Selector tool:
- Enhanced Recommendation System: The recommendation system has been improved to provide more accurate and relevant suggestions based on user input and preferences.
- Interactive User Interface: The script now features an interactive user interface with prompts and options for entering watched anime and manga, selecting favorite genres, and receiving recommendations.
- Continuous Recommendations: After receiving a recommendation, users now have the option to request additional suggestions without restarting the script.
- Improved Error Handling: Robust error handling has been implemented to gracefully handle cases where API requests fail or anime/manga details are not found.
- Simplified Input Process: The input process for entering watched items and selecting genres has been streamlined for a more intuitive user experience.
- Clearer Prompts and Messages: Prompts and messages displayed during script execution have been refined to provide clearer instructions and feedback to the user.
