It's good! I like anime a lot, and also use it for flashcard training in Anki. So I view an average of 100 short clips/day, ranging from the very popular to the fairly obscure. It got most still frames I tried it out on, and did OK with deliberate fakes (eg stills from ordinary movies, where it found fairly close approximations to the source image). Missed a few submissions completely, if I was picking for very obscure/forgotten anime, but also succeeded with some that I didn't expect.

Minor bug: name and description don't update properly if you upload successive clips/images.

Alright fixed it. For some reason the state of one of my component wasn't updating but it's fixed now
Might work even better as a browser extension.
Thanks for the suggestion. I might have a logic about how the extension should work.

Sorry, I’m not sure I understand this sentence; what do you mean when you “use it for Flashcard training” ?

Anki is a flashcard system that makes use of spaced repetition to help one learn a topic.

I came across a project/service that used Japanese anime screenshots to teach the language, and incorporated it with Anki cards. Not sure if absoluteunit1 meant that project by what he said.

Ah I see; initially I didn’t understand what you were using Anki for in relation to anime. It’s to learn Japanese; got it
