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.

Ok, sounds good! Anime I can imagine is tricky.
