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
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).
Hello, There is Been awhile. I just finished watching Arakawa Under the Bridge both seasons. It' was a nice and creative style of comedy. What's your opinion on the show. Mine is compressed here
I don't think that's it really. For example Natsume Yuujinchou makes me so happy I'm crying and laughing at the same time. I'm rewatching it atm but it's gonna run out soon since I'm devouring it haha
Recently watched 3-gatsu no Lion which provoked me similar things. ofc it went straight to my favs in an instant. My god that was so amazing I feel like rewatching it again even tho I just finished it.
I think they fall into the Slice of Life category, although I don't really know what the specifics are.
I see. I appreciate the business offer. But I going start at scratch first. Well there are still enough brain cells for me to use to learn new tricks. Well I am just going to be smart on whoever I promote my reviews just taking caution step will do. I ll ask once I want expand for future plans. I am planning to use my own Wall first to promote my reviews.
For sharing my review of Uchouten Kazoku the first season. I was ban not because of spam but for advertising the link on the review.
Well, guess I won't be trigger happy sharing my reviews since the ban is Lv3. So I am 2 bans away to be permanently banned which like getting killed by the government.
I'm actually working on Kids on the Slope for my next anime review. I will publish it on May 20, 2020, in MAL. Thought I'll send it directly to my friends and trusted people in MAL yeah I keep my coool when sharing to strangers because just 1 report might make way for a 1-week ban.
Yoh it's been a while. I just got banned recently so I haven't sent the link for my latest review. I just finished my Uchouten Kazoku last week. If you haven't seen the anime, think it as a recommendation. I recently back watching Gintama again.
Some odd question have you seen Kids on the Slope?
Probably temporary. I kinda transitioned along the way into the Diablo 2 community and that's where I'm at right now.
I haven't really kept in touch at all and I don't even know if I'm interested in the new animes that have come out since last time I was here. Maybe some recommendations are in order ;) (?) I could check some series out since quarantine has fucked up my studies, giving me lots of free time :(
Hi. It's plaussible that you don't remember me. I used to be pretty active here untill 2017 more or less. Recently someone asked me for a Rurouni Kenshin special since I opened a discussion thread about it back in 2016 (?). Thankfully I still had the link saved in a message from around that time... anyways all of this is backstory. I do remember you as someone who kept track of everything and I was wondering if you could point me to some of the people in the community (since I can't seem to recall) who could have had such a rare anime saved. I remember it was someone who had tons of this stuff.... but I don't know who.
I'm doing quite well actually, even if this year has had a terrible start. I'm hoping that in the passing months, everyone will become kinder and friendly with each other.
How are you doing currently?

I was recommended Nana, which made me cry all right... but not from happiness.......... more like despair. Oh boy, that was terrible haha
Thanks for the reply.
I'm at a loss and can't find it >.< Saw you commented on the forum threads about it quite some time ago... maybe 2014.
Hope you're doing well.
Cheers, Kinkara.
