Oh she seems so cute, she must be protected at any cost!

Especially from that mean girl Homura. She's so nasty to Madoka for no good reason. What a bitch.

I don't know the anime, sor I don't get the joke...

What anime is this and what is the joke if there is one?

The anime is Madoka Magika. I recommend watching up to the 3rd/4th chapter without spoilers, then decide if you want to continue watching it.

The joke (spoilers)The studio advertised it as a generic slice of life magical girl show, and when it was leaked that its writer was Gen Urobuchi, who was known for his horror stories, they tried to do "damage control" by claiming that he was trying to get into new genres and styles. The show does indeed turn pretty dark fairly soon, and you should definitely not watch it if you need something mild. In any case, it's top stuff and I recommend it.

Thank you for your reply and thank you for hiding the spoilers.

All joking aside, please go and watch it immediately without looking up anything else about it. It's genuinely one of the best shows you will ever watch, I'm not even slightly exaggerating here, and it's soooo much better if you can go in blind.

If I had a men in black memory zapper I would erase the entirety of this show from my memory and leave myself a Memento style note to go watch it again, just so I could relive that experience.
