So just yesterday I started watching Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and so far I'm on episode 10, and I got to say that this series is really interesting and good.
I'm a lil bit confused though, is the show basically a series of different stories but all with the same background or something?
When I saw the end of the first story where Kei-chan claws at his own throat in the booth I was like holy shit!! But then the next episode everything changed and he was alive and everything was completely normal and everyone was acting differently and stuff like that

. So if anyone could give me some insight that would be nice =).
