Necessary Repetitions: 5 Reasons Why You Should Watch PETA's 'Rak of Aegis' Re-run
by Francis Christian Lubag
Why is there a new article? Sure. Just because PETA’s Rak of Aegis
is staging a rerun doesn’t necessarily mean we have to write about it
again. Problem is, our review of its original run is buried in too deep

But beyond that pragmatic reasoning is the fact that Rak of Aegis,
while not perfect, warrants your attention — whether you’ve seen it
before or not. So this time, for the sake of convenience, we will not
write a new review. Here’s a quick list of why you “really really”
should watch Rak of Aegis (because apparently, long articles are boring
and list articles are the way to engage a lazy generation such as ours):
