Plex to MyAnimeList Sync

If you manage your Anime with Plex this will allow you to sync your libraries to MyAnimeList.net, recommend using Plex with the HAMA agent for best Anime name matches.

Unwatched Anime in Plex will not be synced so only those that have at least one watched episode, updates to MAL are only send with changes so need to worry about messing up watch history.

Currently planned for future releases:

• [x] CLI improvements (colors / status)
• [ ] Improve error handling
• [x] Improve matching by using more MAL info, year comparision is an option but was hit and miss during testing before
• [x] Multiple season support, right now sync is limited to season 1 and not sure if feasible with the way MAL lists them

Previous version was written in C# (.NET) but due to library issues switched to Python where there are some great ones to work with, this is the first version and rough around the edges so bugs may occur.
