I love this idea. I toyed with the idea in the past, but it is very difficult to execute so it just works - I think it will take years.

I will not be backing, but when it is on the market and supports Plex, XMBC and Netflix, I will happily become a customer.

They do have already posted a prototype software for PC for TV Shows and Anime. I tried to watch some of my tv show files and saw a popup that I'm watching that episode (detected correctly)

This is awful... "Automatically Mark as watched your TV" makes no sense to me, but I get what it's trying to do - automatically mark TV content as watched. But as far as I can tell, this doesn't work with a TV?

They totally lost me at "KNOW YOUR STATS - WASTED WATCHING TV SHOW". Excuse me, but when I'm watching a TV show, I'm not WASTING time. I enjoy my time when watching TV shows. There's a huge difference between watching TV and wasting time...

How is this different from https://trakt.tv/ ?

Also, considering people watch on all kinds of devices (w.g. iPhone in the commute, laptop in afternoon, TV in evening), it's not very clear on how it will actually manage to track what I watched across those devices.

trakt does not have Anime and was always more designed for the API, not so much usable website. We're trying to make the web site more user friendly. We also already have our own software for detecting TV shows and Anime (success detection rates are currently 90%, which trakt does not have), trying to make it work with the large Movie detection databases as well. And we will have an open API as well just as trakt.

Can someone please explain why there is a distinction between Anime and TV Shows? Its my understanding that Anime are either in a Movie Format (Standalone) or in a TV Format (Series).

Anime and TV shows are like series, but Anime is the style (Japanese most of the time) and Anime has Anime Movies and Anime TV Shows, Anime OVA, etc
