2019: Week 18


Due to the comparable commercial successes of both Chin & Beard Suds Co and Your Name (Kimi No Na Wa) we've decided to pull together funding in order to produce a Chin & Beard Suds Co anime to raise our profile even further and hitting that otaku market.

 We're aiming to release a short series: Endless Legend of the Soap Heroes (Kono Sekken Wa Hidoi), and a follow up movie: Endless Legend of the Soap Heroes: The Legend's End (Kono Sekken Wa Hidoi: Atsui Gomi No Kaori) by the end of 2022.
However we haven't been able to decide on what genres to theme our anime around. We'd like you to help us make this decision by using a bunch of data scrapped from MyAnimeList.net to figure out the most popular genres. We also want to find prime examples of these genres to rip-off copy trace-over just straight up put our own watermark on use for inspiration.

A snippet of the input.

Requirements


  • Input the data.
  • Consider only TV shows and Movies - we aren't making some straight to video OVA here.
  • Ignore any anime without a rating or without any genres.
  • Ignore any anime with less than 10000 viewers (i.e. [Members]) - we expect to have way more than this.
  • For each genre and type combination (e.g. Action & TV, Romance & Movie) return the following information:
    • The average rating (to 2 decimal places).
    • The average viewership (to 0 decimal places).
    • The maximum rating.
    • A prime example of the genre and type combination (i.e. the anime with the max rating for the combo).

Output

  • One output file.
  • 76 rows (77 including the header).
  • 6 fields:
    • A snippet of the output.
    • [Genre]
    • [Type]
    • [Avg Rating]
    • [Max Rating]
    • [Avg Viewership]
    • [Prime Example]
As always, feel free to share your results and methods on Twitter using the #PreppinData hashtag and please don't forget to fill out the progress tracker!

------------------------- SPOILERS BELOW -------------------------

Hints

  • You'll need to split up the [Genre] field and then pivot the results to get the Genre & Type combinations.
  • On the [Members] field, trying clicking on the 3 dots and filtering on 'Range of Values' to set the viewership cutoff.
  • To get both average and max ratings you'll either need to duplicate the [Ratings] field or use two separate aggregation steps.

How to...Handle Free Text

Image
Free isn't always a good thing. In data, Free text is the example to state when proving that statements correct. However, lots of benefit can be gained from understanding data that has been entered in Free Text fields. What do we mean by Free Text? Free Text is the string based data that comes from allowing people to type answers in to systems and forms. The resulting data is normally stored within one column, with one answer per cell. As Free Text means the answer could be anything, this is what you get - absolutely anything. From expletives to slang, the words you will find in the data may be a challenge to interpret but the text is the closest way to collect the voice of your customer / employee. The Free Text field is likely to contain long, rambling sentences that can simply be analysed. If you count these fields, you are likely to have one of each entry each. Therefore, simply counting the entries will not provide anything meaningful to your analysis. The value is in
