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.
At the present time I am studying in college to get my professional bachelor degree in Cross Media Development,
besides that I mostly spend my time on a known game modding community called Gamebanana.
Currently I am searching for a job in the Web Developing sector, but would love a position in the Game Developing sector as well.
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).
We sure do, I've been going through your recommendation list and most of my favourites are listed there. Except for that: Hibike Euphonium not under favourite music anime?! No mention of Btooom! under favourite action anime?! No KonoSuba under fave comedy?!
Tsk tsk ;)
Thanks for the list man.
What I do is I simply don't include any of those specific anime and manga in my list. (And trust me I've seen a few hundred of them. It would be too much work to include them in my list anyway and you never remember most of them anyway.)
The only exception is a manga called Nozoki Ana that I included in my list. It's said to have a very good and towards the end even depressing story. And it has over hundred chapters. Not your typical eromanga I'd say. Oh, right, you can take that as a recommendation for Nozoki Ana.
Ha! I've forgotten to tell you how I even found you today. I finished Galaxy Railways Season 1 today and saw you on top in the episode 26 discussion (Your signature pic is so recognizable man I remembered instantly) Btw what you said there, I highly agree with that.
Oh, pardon me. I thought because you finished so many manga that you would also enjoy reading them (EDIT: wait I think I might know why you have so many finished manga... Call me dumb). I have not finished even two manga so I wouldn't say that I'm a fan either. But only because I'm pretty lazy.
The anime adaption of Brynhildr in the Darkness was so rushed towards the end and had overall quite a bit of cut content (and first-and-foremost it didn't even had an ending conclusion) So even for you I'm sure the manga would be quite amazing.
I'll drop some more recommendations every now and then.
Until then, mate :)
If you decide to read it than it'll definitely be a better recap of the story than just rewatching the anime. You gave the anime a 9/10 so I know (100%, definitely, no doubt) that you'll absolutely love the manga.
Too bad I can't read your manga list, I wanted to recommend you a manga but am not sure if you've read it. Well you must have your reasons. Also something tells me you've very likely already finished it, though I'm gonna recommend it anyway: Gokukoku No Brynhildr/Brynhildr In The Darkness.
The anime adaption does this masterpiece simply not enough justice.
Just an anime watching fellow that remembered your username from seeing it a few days ago in the discussions of Ookami Heart and Otome Chic. A new friend is always welcome anyway, right?
Hi! Name is David, I noticed you've posted on a lot of classic anime shows but also like me, enjoy modern stuff too so I'm interested in following you to hopefully catch some stuff that might have flown under my radar. Hope you don't mind.

2200+ mangas?
Wow... keep up the good work ^^
Anyway, you have some very nice projects. Keep up the good work! :)
Tsk tsk ;)
