Renai Circulation - Distributed Edition
Yes, it's still that dataset. No, we haven't had a sudden change of heart about content warnings. The data's just been split across 20 orgs because someone thought uploading multi-terabyte files in one go was a brilliant idea. Spoiler: it wasn't.
How is it made? (Historical Context)
Original 2023 scrape from archive.org, processed from unwieldy WARC files into slightly-less-unwieldy JSON and images. The methodology hasn't changed—the distribution strategy has evolved out of necessity.
Where's the data now?
The dataset has been redistributed across 20 organizations for practical access:
- Megami-Renai-Circulation-00/Megami-Circulation-Pt-00
- Megami-Renai-Circulation-01/Megami-Circulation-Pt-01
- ...through...
- Megami-Renai-Circulation-20/Megami-Circulation-Pt-20
Each contains a roughly equal partition of the full dataset. Check the main branch in each repository. Yes, it's inconvenient. No, we're not merging it back.
NFAA?
Absolutely. This is Japanese-audience content from a Japanese website. If you're surprised by what's inside, that's a you problem, not a dataset problem. We've done the courtesy of warning you; what you do with that information is your business.

TL;DR: Research and archiving? Fine. Causing trouble, chasing clout, or being a public nuisance? No Don't.
For the HF Staff
Our apologies for the "dozens of TBs of generated anime" situation—now multiplied by 20. At least it's organized?
