ABSTRACT

Anime is an influential medium with global popularity, combining visual aesthetics with narrative depth and offering potential applications in content analysis, style transfer, and emotion recognition within computer vision research. Despite its widespread appeal, publicly available anime character datasets remain scarce. To address this gap, we propose the Attack on Titan: Anime Image Dataset, derived from the popular series Attack on Titan, to support anime-focused computer vision research. The dataset comprises 4041 high-quality images divided into 14 classes, each representing a prominent character from the series. These images are manually collected through high-resolution screenshots, capturing a wide range of character poses, expressions, costumes, and backgrounds. The dataset is suitable for various computer vision tasks, including character recognition, emotion detection, style classification, and domain adaptation.
