My name is Rafaël De Jongh and I am a Belgian Web Developer & 3D artist.
My passion in life is to develop and design websites, to always search for a new challenge and keep the focus user centered.
I started developing websites from a young age, each time facing a new challenge to achieve something new and exciting.
Experimenting with lots of different code & programming languages made me learn a lot in all these years to what I know today.
Besides that I love my hobby which is Game Development where I am specialized in creating 2D Textures for 3D models.
My main goal in life is to become a Full Stack Web Developer and keep Game Development as my hobby.
Besides Game Modification I also love to watch Anime! I'm fairly new to anime as I've only started watching in 2012, although until now I've seen a range of different anime that I know what I love and how I rate my anime!
- Detective/Case Solving
- Science Fiction
- Supernatural
- Comedy/Random Humor
- Harem
- Slice of Life
- Drama
- Romance
For those who would like some of my peprsonal recommendations, you can find them in this handy pastebin list: http://pastebin.com/ihsUs3ns
That aside, I made my own set of rules when watching anime:
- To not drop any anime at all, even if it is completely horrible!
- Try to watch every special, ova or other related entree from the main series to properly finish the whole franchise!
- Try to comment on every episode and provide my thought with each episode, to then give a review if the series is really worth it!
- To give proper recommendations to anime that are actually alike, and not vaguely similar.
With that I also have a personal and quite specific rating system that measures the anime on the following points:
1. Story Development - How well does the story develop from the beginning to the end?
2. Character Development - How well do the characters develop within the story?
3. Episodic Pacing - Is the episode pacing decent? Does it keep the viewers attention?
4. Story Pacing - Does the pacing of the story/plot follow up with the development of the characters?
5. Art - Is the Art decent compared with other series created from the same year?
6. Animation - Is the animation properly executed and does it combine properly with the art/cgi?
7. Audio - How well is the voice cast, the audio effects and the soundtrack (OST)?
7.1 English Dubs - Does the English voice cast capture the atmosphere of the anime correctly like the Japanese cast does or is it even better than the Japanese cast (Questionable)?
8. Personal Experience - How did I experience it? Was the theme and story properly expressed to the viewer (me)? (Biased rating criteria)
Each anime serie that I start gets an average rating of 5/10, where I then evaluate per episode if it actually gets better or not, following the above 8 guidelines.
A score below 5/10 means it is pretty much drop worthy for me, but as it conflicts with one of my own set rules "To not drop anything" I therefore tend to speed up the anime or cross watch the anime with another series to prevent me from actually losing too much interest that I put it on a Permanent Hold (in a limbo state).
Anyway, I couldn’t help but notice that while looking at your profile, I saw that we sort of had the same tastes, as fast as anime is concerned. I was just trying to lurk on this site to see if there was some more conversations I can have with people that do explore different tastes of anime. :)
I`m just a stranger passing buy, but I wanted to say, that you have very beatiful anime list design. Also amount of your completed series is incredible. It`s really impressive.
Well, I found you any of your friends list and I see your profile. I added you as a friends. Anyway I added to everyone about a friends request any profiles and there is no invite yet. :)
Did you watch the Zootopia disney movie? It's like that (carnivore/herbivore divide, mafia, a governmental leader manipulation) but set in a boarding school focusing on a teen wolf. There's a murder at the school and it's the fallout from that and he gets wrapped up in this mess along with struggling with emotions with his first love. The characters are painted realistically (like some even have consensual sex...like damn you can't even get other anime for 2 characters to hold hands and Beastars has teens doing normal teen shit), it's a big nature vs. nurture situation from all angles.
Sorry, for the late reply. I fell asleep. I’m a college student from South Carolina going for a history degree and I liked what you watched and what you were into and thought Imcould shoot you a request. I also admire what you do and that this medium helped inspire you to go work in a field like web development.

I’ll be sure to come up with something to talk about soon. Hopefully it’s more than just anime related.
Sorry for replying late.
