Add Media Type / Format Attribute to Anime #583

Closed ghost closed 6 months ago

MAL/Anilist/AniDB/Kitsu classify anime entries by type/format.

For example, Bakemonogatari is listed as media type / format TV:

https://myanimelist.net/anime/5081/ https://anilist.co/anime/5081/ https://anidb.net/anime/6327 https://kitsu.io/anime/bakemonogatari https://www.anime-planet.com/anime/bakemonogatari

There are some edge cases where two or more anime have the same title but different formats / media types. This information might also be useful for distinguishing / filtering anime.

From internal discussions, we agree with the guidelines on MAL for classifying anime by media type, so we can seed these values using their API and backfill any gaps manually.
