About Naledi Ramphele
People who know Naledi are perpetually aware of two things: he is a talented visual artist, and he has seen copious amounts of anime.
Favorite Anime
BLEACH, Attack on Titan, Steins; Gate, Code Geass, CLANNAD, Earth Girl Arjuna. The list changes whenever people ask, and I don't think I can rank them either (lol). Other favourites include the Monogatari Series, Eureka Seven, Black Cat, Nichijou, C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control. There are so many good shows...
Favorite Console
PlayStation 2. There are a lot of fond memories I can attach to the PS2, and so many good games. I think of it as one of the best consoles of all time. Some of my favourites to play on it were Spider-Man 2, Ratchet and Clank 3, Tekken 5, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within and Need For Speed Most Wanted.
Proudest Gaming Achievement
Being able to perform King's Screwdriver in Tekken before easy inputs were a thing. I can also do the Reverse Special Stretch Bomb combo, but I'm actually an Asuka Kazama main. I like playing Yoshimitsu, Lars, Lee, Leo and Julia too, but I'm just ok.
It's not much, but it's honest work.
