Animerater

English | 中文

A CLI tool for comparing animations and calculating Elo ratings, with results persisted to a SQLite database.

Data Sources

You can use either of the following data sources, or mix them:

1. XML Format

• Export your anime list from myanimelist.net
• Rename to animelist.xml and move to the project root directory

2. CSV Format

• Organize your anime list in CSV format
• The anime name column must be named series_title

Usage

# Start rating process
make animerate

# Clean database files
make clean

# Sync ratings to Obsidian (optional)
make update-ob

Feature Description

Rating Process

• Continuously selects two animations from the pool for pairwise comparison
• Choose your preferred animation by entering its number

Obsidian Integration (Optional)

• Each animation corresponds to a separate note page, with Elo rating as a note property
• Add environment variable OB_ANIME_PATH in shell to specify the note directory path
• Use make update-ob to sync Elo ratings to Obsidian note properties

Additional Notes

Data Persistence

• Once animation data is stored in SQLite, original source files are no longer needed
• When adding new animations, simply provide new source files - the tool will automatically identify and add new entries

Elo Rating Accuracy

• Elo rating accuracy is directly related to the number of comparisons
• Newly added animations have fewer comparisons, making their ratings less reliable
  • System setting: Selection probability is inversely proportional to comparison count
  • Animations with fewer comparisons have higher probability of being selected for new comparisons
