“Anime Crop Datasets: Faces, Figures, & Hands § Danbooru2019 Portraits”, Gwern, Arfafax, Shawn Presser, Anonymous, Danbooru Community2020-05-10 (, , )⁠:

Description of 3 anime datasets for machine learning based on Danbooru: cropped anime faces, whole-single-character crops, and hand crops (with hand detection model).

Danbooru2019 Portraits is a dataset of n = 302,652 (16GB) 512px anime faces.

The faces were cropped from solo SFW Danbooru2019 images in a relatively broad ‘portrait’ style encompassing necklines/ears/hats/etc rather than tightly focused on the face, upscaled to 512px as necessary, and low-quality images deleted by manual review using ‘Discriminator ranking’.

It has been used for creating TWDNE.
