Puella Magi Madoka Magica - S01

Madoka Kaname and her best friend Sayaka Miki are ordinary middle school students in the city of Mitakihara. But one day, they meet a strange cat-like creature named Kyuubey, who says he can grant them one wish. In return, they would become magical girls and fight the evil caused by witches. A veteran magical girl in the area, Mami Tomoe, decides to show them how to hunt witches, while the mysterious transfer student Homura Akemi warns them not to take Kyuubey's deal, though she won't say why. But after seeing the brutal reality of fighting witches, the girls decide it might be safer to turn down Kyuubey's offer. Yet when another magical girl arrives in the city and Sayaka chooses to make a wish to help the one she loves, things quickly spiral as they are faced with the harsh truth behind their powers and the ultimate price of their wishes.
