Aside from its story and characters, the show gained popularity among some fans, for its yuri subtext. Many yuri-loving fans tend to see pairings between the girls, usually Homura x Madoka and Kyouko x Sayaka. This page will try to explain what lead them to this conclusion (and what "evidence" there is in canon).

Homura and Madoka
Episode 11
Love Confession or Pledge of Friendship?
Fans are divided with the significance of this scene. Fans of yuri see it as Homura's love confession to Madoka and a promise to protect her life. Those who believe in the power of friendship see it as Homura's pledge to protect her most precious friend, Madoka. Is this scene depicting a powerful moment of friendship against all odds? Or is this Homura's attempt at a love confession where she promises to protect Madoka's life with her own life? Some believe this is a powerful love confession scene.
- Homura: There's no way I can tell you how I really feel.
- Madoka: Homura-chan...
- Homura: I mean... I mean... I'm living in a different time than you!
- I've come from the future, you know?
- I've met you over and over again, and each time, I've seen you die. How can I save you? How can I change your fate? I've been looking for that answer and that answer only. I've gone back and started from the beginning over and over again.
- Madoka: That means... Huh?
- Homura: I'm sorry. I'm sure you don't get any of this. I'm sure you're put off (disgusted) by all of this. To you, I haven't even known you for a month - I'm just some transfer student. But to me, you...
- Each time I repeat all of this, the time you and I lived grows further apart--our feelings grow further apart, and my words stop reaching you. I think I lost myself a long time ago.
- Madoka: Homura-chan...
- Homura: My desire to save you: the first emotion I had that started this all. And now that I've come this far, the only star left that will help guide my way... You don't have to understand. My words don't have to resonate within you. But still, I beg you. Let me protect you.

There is a great emotional build up with momentum at this scene. Perhaps a kiss scene?
Homura promises to protect Madoka, even thought to Madoka she is just a stranger.
