Snoop Dogg Gets Animated in Nickelodeon’s "Sanjay and Craig

Music sensation Snoop Dogg guest stars as Street Dogg, a rap icon who moves in next door to Sanjay and Craig in the special half-hour premiere of Emmy nominated series, Sanjay and Craig, “Street Dogg,” Sunday, May 17, at 7:30 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon.  Street Dogg is a cool, funny, friendly guy who is always eager to rhyme with the kids. He’s come to town to escape the bright lights of LA, chill out, make some new music and live a quiet suburban life.

 During the special, Sanjay and Craig discover that Street Dogg was once part of a rap duo with none other than Remington Tufflips, the boys’ action-movie idol.  They set out to reunite the former pair, but their failed efforts only lead to a town divided—and the mother of all rap battles!

The Anime Encyclopedia, 3rd Revised Edition Review

It’s been 7 years since the last edition and a lot has changed in Japanese Animation since then. Bandai pulled out of the American DVD market; Aniplex went to court over Kiba; Anime Sols and Daisuki tried to move the locus of power away from America and back to Japan; piracy and torrenting became hot-button issues; anime experimented with stereoscopic vision (Cyborg 009), crowd-funding (Kick-Heart), cellphone distribution (Today’s Aska Show) and “4D” cinema events (Hatsune Miku Live Party). Meanwhile, anime's sense of its own history continued not only to reframe the past, with the rediscovery of A Mole’s Adventure, but also to fret about the future, with the retirement of Hayao Miyazaki (Studio Ghibli).

If you ever wanted to know a lot of about anime series, ova and films this is the book for you. Often called The Anime Bible, The Anime Encyclopedia has seen it's 3rd revision. The revision updates from the very beginning of anime to the year 2013. Yes otakus your favorite shows like Sword Art Online and Highschool of The Dead are included in this revision. This entry not only gives the full synopsis and details of anime ranging from A to Z. It also gives you thematic entries covering various genre's from Hentai to sports anime and more. This section is great because it gives a history on each genre and how it started in anime. In addition each anime hyperlinks for those with tablets to get more information on the animation. I found this encyclopedia very useful when it came to old school anime. If you're like me and love the old school anime it's a great tool to look up titles you may have missed. The book is insightful, very detail and packs a punch.
