i've just started watching this series, albeit it being a little too late after the series have ended long ago.

Apparently, correct me if i'm wrong, the flow of the plot is a little strange. I'm at the end of episode 8. It seems that the first 4 eps and the next 4 eps are like alternate retellings of the same/similar story.

So, to watch this show, i guess we can't expect it to flow like normal anime of other series where one ep should lead to the next, but to expect this to be like a block of arcs of alternate retellings?
