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
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.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

but isnt that just a categorisation like Crime, Drama, Comedy? Anf if not: how are other (non japanese) animated movies/series (justice league etc) treated?

The BBC don't sell advertising in the UK, the rest do. So, if I watch a movie 3/4 the way through before remembering I have seen it before, then that is all good to them and their advertisers, I have 'consumed' adverts, which is what TV is there for.
This project goes against the main goal of television which is to show as many repeats (and adverts) as possible. I cannot see Rupert Murdoch investing...
Very interesting idea - the technology behind this sounds pretty neat! After skimming through the website, I'm still not 100% clear on what all this can do though. It looks like a way to keep a central list of everything you watch from different sources. I use my Chromecast for Netflix a lot - does this support that? Or is it more for tracking watching downloaded movies / tv / anime?

In the UK the best channels for new content are the ones provided by the BBC. However, invariably, what is on is a repeat. As for the rest of the channels, then it is hard not to watch a repeat.

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…
Thank you for your feedback, we did not meean it that way (thought it was funny ;). Changed it to SPENT
