Hi everyone! I’m justJestie, but you can ̶j̶u̶s̶t̶ call me Jestie ♡

I'm really into fantasy/action anime with strong character dynamics (and strong characters in general!), and chaos, lots and lots of chaos! — stuff like Fairy Tail, Soul Eater, and Negima! — but I also enjoy the odd action/sci-fi series like A Certain Scientific Railgun. I also like anime in the slow lane, the more atmospheric shows with softer magic like Witch Hat Atelier and Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (perfectly cooked pancakes sounds heavenly right now), and clever, character-led mysteries, herbal knowledge, and historical insights such as The Apothecary Diaries. I'm still in the process of updating my anime list... there's just so much I've watched in my 16 years of being a fan!

I’m definitely a romance and character chemistry person too — I love slow-burns, chaotic couples, and “they clearly like each other but won’t say it” energy NaLu (Natsu Dragneel x Lucy Heartfilia) is one of my favourites. Make it official already Hiro Mashima!

Also… I was once tricked into watching Puella Magi Madoka Magica thinking it was a cute, happy magical girl anime. It was not. I have trust issues now.

Looking forward to chatting and getting recommendations! ☆

Hello there! Welcome to the Forums of MAL!
Madoka Magica is a cute happy anime you say?
If you want another cute happy anime, try Made in Abyss


What have I done?!
It's too late for me now.
I guess I won't be the sane
level 5 of Academy City anymore.

Madoka ended up being my favourite show of all time, because it was such a sinister show. I love the dark vibe and the hopefull message at the end. helped me through some shit. Welcome to the forums too! :))

Oh I know what you mean, once the Madoka Magica bug hits you there is no going back. Not that you would want to! 😭

@Fabrunette It's one of my bestie's faves too (I recommended it to her with FULL transparency). ☆ I'm not even mad I watched it (heck, I even enjoy dark magical girl anime in small, measured doses), I just had far too much hope for the outcome of Episode 3 than rightfully necessary for the series, aha. Thank you for the welcome! ♡

Welcome welcome!
@Retro8bit Episode 3 is such a shocker that you hold out until Episode 12 for some magical timey-wimey FIX-IT miracle ☆ then by the end of it you realise you're a teensy bit masochistic and you occasionally pick up the odd dark magical girl anime (with plenty of tissues this time, of course)

Welcome to the forums.
If you like Chaos and fantasy. try Mahoujin Guru Guru, Slayers, Shingeki no Bahamut and Akazukin Chacha. Those are my favorite of "Couples in magic adventures".
Akazukin chacha is a happy mahou shoujo anime.

Also, try Ryuu no haisha, it is recent movie about brushing the teeth of flying whales, and fighting bacteria. (I can't sell this one well enough.)

Don't loathe wordlessness, for its expresion par excelence.

@Sasori56483 Hi, thank you for the welcome ♡
Thank you for the recommendations, I'll check them out ☆
I loved Slayers, I need to pick up where I left off! (I also totally didn't make a drinking game out of watching that anime, I swear! — *ahem* but for those curious, every time Amelia Wil Tesla Saillune says "justice" take a shot ☠ R.I.P. liver)


Based on Ryuu no Haisha's OST in the trailer, I'm already sold!

@justJestie Oh you can make it worse (listen for her saying "Sei" Seikoku Seiruun (Holy kingdom Saillune), Seitou no chitsugi (true lineage inheritor), Seigi no mikata (justice ally), Or take one every time Zel gets flustered. :3
