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).
12 years I've been seeing you around this website, looking out for your forum posts. been wondering lately if you're still hanging around and I see you haven't been watching much lately. :( time truly gets to the best of us eventually.
Yeah, you are right. It's not impossible to reach 40k now that I have found the time to watch anime while working. I'm averaging 12-15 episodes during my work days. I may catch up to you in a few years if I continue this pace. I'm a late bloomer in anime, even though I've been watching longer than you. Hehe
Damn, dude, is it just me, or your watch list grew even more from the last time I visited? 433? I hope you'll find the time to clear that up someday.
I honestly wouldn't understand why I (or anyone else for that matter) would fake my watching list and then also bother to review every single anime on the community forums when I finished it... Did you even bother to verify your false accusations?
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.

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
