Death Note, A Japanese Live Action, A Review From Rukun

Death Note, A Japanese Live Action, A Review From Rukun

Hello everyone and how is it going today or what ever time you are reading this post. Things are not going to bad here. I have been pretty busy lately with work and trying to get the rest of my wedding stuff done before my wedding. Plus, I really have been trying to finish the much need work for my business so its has been kind of stressful plus struggling with our finances with vet bill and the loss of one of our beloved cats which I plan on writing a post for her here soon. Anyways, I got here a review of the live action Death Note, the Japanese version.

Anime Title: Death Note (Live action)

Anime Type: movie/live action

Number of Episodes/Parts: 1

Genre/Theme: drama, horror, mystery, psychological, supernatural

Summary: 

Yagami Light is a brilliant college student who, one day, finds a notebook simply titled “Death Note.” Inside of this book is a list of rules and details as for the use of the “Death Note.” When he realizes the power he holds, he decides he’s going to make over the world. He wants to make it into a better place by killing those who do others harm. He has been nicknamed by the police “Kira.” L, a brilliant detective who lives in secrecy, rises from the shadows and puts his life on the line trying to capture Light. Both L and Light believe themselves on the side of Justice, and the two match wits trying to show exactly which of them is “good” and which of them is “evil.”

Rating (from a scale of 1-10): 10

Own Thoughts or Takes The Anime: I love this live action though I know the story as I seen the anime series before this came out. But I have watched both English dub and subbed. The above image is my DVD which has both. But anyways, back to the actual review, sorry I got to try and remember some may not have seen the anime or read the manga. Now the story doesn’t go as much in detail as the anime and  there is a second part this as well. Ryuk, the Shinigami which translates to gods of death or death gods, is probably one of my most favorite characters. (Shinigami info on Wikipedia) You will see when you watch this, I just don’t want to give out spoilers. Now, I think both Light and L do some fucked up shit in the name of justice, not so righteous in my opinion. Now I give this Death Note live action movie a 10 out of 10. It’s a must watch if you like this style of anime/live action or what ever.

Basilisk (Rukun Anime Review)

Basilisk (Rukun Anime Review)

Hello everyone and welcome to an good old anime review post created by yours truly Rukun. This will probably be my first anime review on Thoughts of Everything. And all honesty I haven’t watched anime in a while but here we go with anime review. I would first like to mention I have watched this one I’m reviewing 3 times, twice in English dub and once in Japanese. I own the complete series DVD box set. Wasn’t even planning on writing a blog post review. But here we go.

Anime Title: Basilisk – Kōga Ninpō Chō 

Anime Type: TV series

Number of Episodes/Parts: 24 episodes

Genre/Theme: action, drama, romance, supernatural. Themes of this anime historical, ninja, revenge, star-crossed love, tragedy.

Summary:  

The year is 1614 AD. Two warring ninja clans, each supporting a son of Hidetada Tokugawa as the next shogun, send ten representatives each to fight to the death for the possession of a scroll. The prize: the annihilation of the other and the staunch support of the Tokugawa government for the winning clan for the next thousand years.

summary taken from Anime News Network

Own Thoughts or Takes The Anime: I really did enjoy this anime though the story seem to be kind rushed and from those on lookers the story might be hard to distinguish such as my wife did as I was watching while she was in the other room. The reason I find this is a lot of people die and there is so much betrayal between both of the ninja clans. Which is maybe way the story gets hard to follow do to everything happening so fast. Some of the special ninja moves are so damn sick though, some moves will never happen in real life. But this is way I love fantasy and such. Now I have had to watch this 3 times to fully understand and I bought the complete collection box set since I enjoyed the anime.

and this one

But there is much more to be send about the story where 2 people from each clan who have been mortal enemies for many years. To make things worse the pact between the clans to keep them from killing each other was dissolved. I’m going to try and not spoil it for you all but I will the hate between the two is so bad the love and happy of the clan mate in love the other person in the other clan makes the sick. But this anime’s fight scenes are fucking brutal. Now I’m giving this anime a rating of 9 because I felt the story felt rushed but still enjoy for a rewatch. Then I watched again to get a better understand of the story for this review. Now at the time of planning this review I didn’t know there is a second of something. So I may have to check it out.

Super Ass Delayed Creator Bday Post So 2020 Like, Other Crap Behind The Scenes

Super Ass Delayed Creator Bday Post So 2020 Like, Other Crap Behind The Scenes

Hello how in the heck is everyone doing today/this evening as that is the time I’m writing this post. I started writing this post about some of the cleaning in the backend I’m doing and I ran across some images that I had uploaded and never posted about. The ones I will be showing in this post is from my birthday 2020 and yes it’s so damn 2020ish that my slacking ass is now posting about it. But really too me it feels like I have been slacking and on the other hand I have had a bit of bullshit on my plate as well for those that may have been following the inter works of us but right now a lot of back end work. 

So the post and images I had forgot to post about was my 41st birthday. For those of you reading this for the first time I am Ru-kun and I’m the creator of this website and brand/tradename, Thoughts Of Everything. You may ask yourself “why in the fuck are you still going to write about it.” Because as all of us on this planet know we have been dealing with #Covid19 this whole fucking time and we are still kind of so 2020ish but we are getting there. And this is some of the things I had to deal with like not being able to spend time with my family for my birthday due to Covid. But first thing was my mom and dad stopped by and dropped off a nice yummy ass meal for my fiancée and I kind of like a delivery service. But my parents (I Love you guys, Mom & Dad) were not able to stay. LOL because my bday is around Halloween I get some Halloween themed food. See my images below/clicking the image thumbnail to view full size.

Now you can’t have a birthday meal without s a birthday cake. This birthday cake was given to me by my beautiful fiancée and you can see the images below. This meal was shared together with my fiancée, daughterson and myself. Again, you can click to view full size image.

So this isn’t the only thing that I got. Now, my hot ass soul mate (fiancée) also got me a Kotobukiya Freddy vs. Jason Freddy Krueger Bishoujo Statue for my birthday present. What a lucky ass human I am to be able to have my soul mate who is awesome. Now here is a bunch of images of that.

Don’t  forget  you  can  click  the  images  to  view  full  size As you can tell this is a pretty bad ass figure and the detailing is pretty good. I tried my best to get as much images of the figure from all sides. Here is the shot of the spot she is she is sitting on our home office.

So I will have to also say that at the time I started to write the draft of this post for Thoughts Of Everything my awesome wifey had bought/ordered me another one which is the best. I love her to the end of time and back. But anyways I remember her saying she had order me the other one and that was just a little bit before I start this delayed post. So I got the other one as well i.e. Kotobukiya Jason Voorhees Freddy vs Jason Bishoujo Statue. So I believe now my collection for this two is now complete. Wifey, if you do happen to read this post I fucking love you to death, thank you very much for these figurines. Now she might be writing for my creative side of my company and will be will have her content here as well. I just got to finish getting her website/blog up and running. But we are currently working on a major web server move and a rebranding of my web hosting/IT services side of my company. 

So let go ahead a look at the other figure since I think I had lost track of what I was first going to write about on this blog post/article. See more images below.

 

Now here are both of them together.

So you can see that I got some nice little horror figurines. If you like figures awesome why not join our site and post some of your in our comments section.  Now when I first started to write this post I had some other things I wanted to mention but can’t remember what they were due to having to deal with some bullshit with the server move of our website which I will go into more detail later on but I’m still working on this stuff and some of the issues that have happened. Which sucks as I wasn’t able to do any of the server move. But I really trying to work hard on this some of my users on my advertising platforms started complaining. It’ such a pain in the ass. But, anyways, one of my goals is to start moving toward being on more “green”/sustainable web hosting as web business need to do our part as well. So we here at Thoughts Of Everything try our best to be as sustainable as possible. With this said I got to get going and start working on getting things back to normal. FYI I’m now consider fully vaccinated for covid as of Weds June 2, 2021. Thank for reading and you guy have an awesome day/night. Thanks again for reading.

The 30th Anniversary of Gundam

This may be old news to some and I known about this as well for a while. But I think that it’s still worth sharing.

Anyways, as some may know and for those who don’t, a while back the Gundam 30 year Anniversary website announced a life size Gundam robot about 59 feet tall to be build in “Shiokaze Park on Odaiba island” located Tokyo, Japan. This had been annouced back in March and was finished in June of this year. This life size statue is based off of “RX-78-2 Gundam” from the first Gundam anime series from 1979 (the year I was born XD).

In my opinion I think this is pretty cool consider I’ve only watched one of the series and much enjoyed it. I guess I’m a big mecha themed anime fan XD. Anyways I kind of figured that it wouldn’t be that long before there would be a life size mecha built before too long. Although, there were other large size mecha status built before, but nothing as tall as the “RX-78-2 Gundam”

Well Massively update for the My Massive absence

So I haven’t posted anything here for a good while. And I’m sorry about that although, its not like a lot of people actually sit and read it. But anyways, I’ve been quite busy with job hunting and working contracted IT/Computer jobs. I’ve also been working on an anime/manga website that I’m hoping to have online sometime soon. This site will have a forums, downloads section, and blog like news posting and such. My site will be basically a CMS (Content Managment System) website. As I’m still doing a lot of the configuration with the site and database. I’m not ready to put it up online yet. Plus I’m still working on getting the funds to pay for 5 months of web hosting (currently looking at different hosting services)XD. So with this said I’m not sure if I will keep this blog up since I will be posting most o my posts there. But I might just keep this one running and double post news items on both. I will probably keep this blog running though, but I think I will need to give it make over. I will probably just design a new layout from scratch.

Other updates I finished watching all the animes in that I had posted it my last post back in February; Soul Eater, Witchblade, REC, Hell Girl, Code Geass R2. Well actually I haven’t finished watch Bleach just yet as it is still on-going. But in fact I actually finished quite a few other animes as well, I’ve almost watch 100 different animes, I’ve actaully at about 96 as you can see from this old post which I keep updating Animes I have completed, but once I have 100 on that list I will stop updating it and just create a new post for each 10 after. Some of those animes in that list I really don’t recommend as they are kind of crappy. For example Psychic Wars and MD Geist II: Death Force were not that great, in fact they were garbage. The only reason I sat and watch them was just to say that I have seen them. I will never watch them again though.

Last piece of updates I had beaten God of War for the PS2 for the first time. I beat it on easy, now I working on beating it on the normal difficulty. I’m also very close to beating Resident Evil 4 on the Ps2 as well. I think that I’m currently on Chapter 5-2.

Well that is it for the moment. Thanks for reading

Fullmetal Alchemist OVA collection set to be Released Later this Year

The North American anime distributor Funimation has confirmed at the Ohayocon event on Saturday that it has acquired the Fullmetal Alchemist: Premium Collection original video animation (OVA) set. Funimation will release the set on a single DVD in late 2009. According to Funimation’s Adam Sheehan, the DVD will include “everything that was on the Japanese DVD release — uncut, subbed, and dubbed.”

The Premium Collection’s Japanese release features the “Seven Homunculi VS State Alchemists” short and three DVD shorts that shipped after the 2005 Fullmetal Alchemist movie: “Live Action,” “Chibi Party,” and “Kids.” These shorts were the last animated footage created for the Fullmetal Alchemist “dark fantasy” franchise — at least, until this coming April, when the new television adaptation of Hiromu Arakawa’s original manga premieres. Extras include a picture gallery, bonus clips from the Universal Studios Japan amusement park’s Fullmetal Alchemist Premiere Tour, and closing credits that feature a dancing Alphonse Elric character…….Read More

My First Anime Boxset

After a long awaited time I finally got my first anime box set. My older sister got it for me for my birthday and just got it at around Christmas time. I got all the episodes of Elfen Lied on two dvd disc. Basically I got the box set known as the “Perfect Collection” with all 13 episodes and some of the art work in the extra section of the DVD menu—I think. I haven’t gone through everything in the menus yet. Below are a few images I have taken of this box set. It nothing really special but I love this series. (This is the front of the DVD case) (This is the back side of the Elfen Lied boxset) (Finally the inside of the Elfen Lied box set with the two dvds. First dvd has episodes 1-10, second dvd has episodes 11-13.)

Last thing I would like to mention is that I also got a Naruto 2009 calender for Christmas. But to tell you guys that truth I haven’t watched Naruto yet. I still like the calenders though. Here is the front of the calender.
