How would I go about recreating the effects in..

... Death Note's second opening. I really enjoy the effects in that and would love to recreate it. Could someone explain to me how it's done please? It looks really complex.

It's mostly pretty simple stuff actually (which is probably why there have been at least 4 or more parodies of it).
You can do it all with Adobe After Effects and a bit of creativity. Are there any parts in particular that you don't understand?

There have been a lot of threads about how to do masking. Try looking through the video software help forum, or there might even be a few threads in here.

Where can I download this creativity plug-in? Or is it a Video Copilot tutorial?

I think that Alan meant creativity as in the actual mental process and not as a plug-in. :P

So Actual Mental Process is the plug-in that is used for the bullet, or?..

ActualMentalProcess is abused as fuck, and it doesn't get good results on its own anyway. Go download Elbow Grease.
