Various bio-futuristic neo gothic punk rock warriors that keep running into me while checking their hipster tumblrs on iphones.

Debating between ad700's and akg k701; Had a pair of well-loved grado sr60i's for some time that I gave to a friend a couple of months back, so considering going for something akin to it or better...might pick up an amp like fiio aswell, still need to do research though.

You NEED to watch Akira, if you haven't watched Ghost in the Shell I'd watch that as well. They have a remastered version out and an anime as well for Ghost. Ergo Proxy is pretty decent as well, and so is Serial Experiments Lain. I'd also check out Stiens;Gate, it's a great sci-fi with it's fair share of hilarious moments. In fact I'd suggest you watch all of the ";" series (Chaos;Head & Robotics;Notes)

Second this; Akira was my first anime ever, I still love revisiting old memories watching it again. Currently finishing off GiTS, watching some Berserk in between, and a friend noted that Bleach might be worth a try.
