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 be 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

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).
It's certainly not impossible, if you have the time on your hands and really enjoy the media format as I do. For watching anime now for over a decade now (I started in May of 2012) in the end the total time watched is only at 633.8 full days, so divide that by 3650 days for making it a decade (and easier calculation) is only like 0,18 days per day of the total 10 years.
I keep coming across your posts while looking for old school stuff. How can you have 4k+ watched titles and you're only now giving a chance to Kaiji? That's not cool, but I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks for all the birthday wishes everyone.
I've been rather busy as my life took an unexpected turn this past year and doesn't allow me to watch much anime as I used to.
Nearing the end year holidays I do find a bit more time so if anyone has any suggestions from the past 3 years that I should definitely watch, then by all means do share and I'll give it a go! Thanks in advance for your recommendations.
I hope everyone else's life is going a whole lot better than mine though, so keep it up everyone and thanks again for the wishes!

It was in my PTW for quite some time, and I actually got motivated to watch it after watching the last 24h new year batsu game by Downtown!
I would not say I would be new no, especially not after the amount of anime I've watched since 2012
