''Towa no Quon'' is a six-part animated film directed by the late Umanosuke Iida (with Takeshi Mori, of ''Anime/{{Vandread}}'' fame, acting as "collaborative director" in his place) and produced by Creator/StudioBONES.

In a futuristic Tokyo, unique human beings are developing strange abilities and are being hunted by a mysterious organization known as Custos. Known as "Attractors", these humans join forces to defend themselves and create a place where they can live in peace, led by a boy named Quon, an idealist who is determined to save all the Attractors he can.

Creator/SentaiFilmworks announced during the 2011 Anime Weekend Atlanta that they have licensed the film series and is currently broadcasting it on their Creator/AnimeNetwork subtitled on a biweekly basis starting on Thursday, October 13th. A DVD and Blu-Ray release is expected to follow shortly afterwards.

The OVA also has a one-volume prequel manga, ''Towa no Quon: Episode at Daybreak'', that takes place shortly before the start of the OVA.

!!Tropes found in ''Towa no Quon'':

%%* ActionGirl: Yuri.
* AllLovingHero: Quon, with a bit of TheParagon in there as well, as he encourages the other Attractors to learn to use their abilities for good. [[spoiler:In Chapter 6, he comes close to killing the BigBad in revenge for Towa, despite knowing that it goes against his ideals.]]
%%* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The Attractors.
* AllThereInTheManual: Certain pieces of information, such as Quon's last name, are never mentioned within the OVA but in outside material.
* AntiVillain: Aside from Kamishiro and some of the cyborgs, Custos eventually becomes this--particularly the unnamed scientists that works with the cyborgs. [[spoiler:In the finale, all of the workers choose to work with the Attractors to survive and escape.]]
* ArtShift: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKT1B2PiD6g&feature=player_embedded#! The beginning of Chapter 4.]]
%% * BadassLongcoat: Quon wears an orange one in human form.
%%* BarrierWarrior: Yuma, eventually.
%% * BerserkButton:
%%** After the 4th chapter, nobody should dare to [[spoiler:call Shun Epsilon, ever]].
%%** Want to see Quon stop being the NiceGuy? [[spoiler:Mess with Towa or even hide his survival from him. It won't matter even if you're Quon's friend.]]
* BandageWince: Takao, when getting his casts put on.
%% * Beware TheNiceOnes: Don't piss Quon off.
%%* BigBad: Kamishiro.
%%* BigBrotherInstinct:
%%** [[spoiler:Shun in the past, towards his little sister.]]
%%** Quon towards the children Attractors. [[spoiler:And to his real brother.]]
* BlessedWithSuck: Most of the powers, considering they come with a constant risk of the user completely losing control of them.
%%* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Quon.
%%* CompleteImmortality: Quon.
%%* DamselInDistress: Tei.
%%* DarkActionGirl: Delta/Hizuru.
%%* DarkAndTroubledPast: Just about every character's got one.
%%* Determinator}}: Quon.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Takao, briefly, when he's told that he'll be able to see his parents again.]]
* FailureKnight: [[spoiler:The reason Quon's so dedicated to protecting everyone? Guilt for not being able to help one thousand years ago when his clan was slaughtered.]]
* FantasticRacism: Against the Attractors, as their existence disturbs the 'order.'
* GenreThrowback: The character designs and animation style are clearly a homage to 80's anime such as those by Creator/LeijiMatsumoto. The ArtShift beginning of Chapter 4 are especially blatant homage of violent, surreal anime of days gone by.
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: See HealingFactor below. Quon receives injuries that would be fatal to just about anyone else almost OnceAnEpisode.
* GovernmentConspiracy: Averted. The group going after the kids are revealed to be unassociated with the Japanese government.
* HealingFactor: One of Quon's abilities, to the point of him being {{Nigh Invulnerab|ility}}le. [[GoodThingYouCanHeal And it's a good thing, too.]]
%% * HealingHands: [[spoiler:Quon's brother, Towa.]]
%% ** Kiri also has a Healing Voice.
%% * HeartbrokenBadass: Quon and Shun.
%%* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Epsilon/Shun]] in Chapter 4.
* HeroicSacrifice:
** [[spoiler:In Chapter 6, Hizuru shields Shun from being stabbed.]]
** [[spoiler:A wounded Shun blows himself up so that everybody else can escape from a self-destructing building in Chapter 6.]]
* HonorBeforeReason: Quon, when deciding to [[spoiler:take in and trust Shun, despite knowing that he could betray them]].
* IAmWho: [[spoiler:Epsilon/Shun Kazami, it turns out in Chapter 4 that he is actually an Attractor, with the power to control fire. This also caused the death of his beloved younger sister.]]
* IdealHero: Quon. Lampshaded by Takao, who derogatorily calls him "superhero," and deconstructed, as Quon's 'heroic' attitude stems from major issues on his part and his inability to let go of his past, with it practically being a defence mechanism and the only way he can cope. As the OVA goes on, it becomes clear that he's trying to live up to impossibly high standards, which only makes things worse.
%%* Jerk WithAHeartOfGold: Takao, who's also a male {{Tsundere}} for Quon at times.
* KidsAreCruel:
** In the prequel manga, it's revealed that some of the other Attractor kids would bully Miu, to the point of killing a bunch of rabbits simply to upset her.
** Kaoru was bullied as a child--and gets it ''again'' from the children in Fantasium Garden due to his unusual ability.
** Along those lines, one unnamed kid in Fantasium Garden in particular tends to be a jerk, from the aforementioned insulting Kaoru to calling Quon a murderer--in response to Quon just asking if he was okay after he fell--and [[spoiler:attacking the reformed Shun]]. The last one could potentially be justified, but otherwise, the kid kind of comes across as a douche.
%%* MrFanservice: Shun.
* MissionControl: Many of Quon's friends stay behind and watch the progress of his mission via their powers.
%% * NiceGuy: Quon.
* NoNameGiven: The scientist that works with the cyborg team who, while a recurring character, is never named.
* TheNotLoveInterest: Tei and [[spoiler:Shun]] are this for each other, with WordOfGod stating that their relationship was platonic, rather than romantic.
%% * OmniscientCouncilOfVagueness: The Order.
%% * PlayingWithFire: [[spoiler:Shun/Epsilon's power.]]
* PowerIncontinence: The Attractors, with few exceptions, suffer badly from this. Most of the people at Fantasium have to wear special bracelets to keep their powers in check.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Quon may look like a teenager, but he's really over 1000 years old.
* RepressedMemories: [[spoiler:Shun/Epsilon]] repressed his memories of [[spoiler:killing his sister]]. These memories being brought to the surface led to [[spoiler:him awakening as an Attractor and his subsequent HeelFaceTurn]].
%% * SaveTheVillain: [[spoiler:Done with Epsilon/Shun, in Chapter 4.]]
* SinisterGeometry: Custos uses some rather intimidating vehicles.
%% * SpeaksFluentAnimal: Miu.
%% * StuffBlowingUp: Courtesy of the awakened children and their pursuers.
%% * SuperSpeed: Yuri's ability.
* SurvivorGuilt: [[spoiler:Quon, whose clan was wiped out years ago. He survived because he'd been elsewhere, slacking off.]]
%% * TagalongKid: Yuma, though he can be fairly useful.
%% * {{Technopath}}: Ryo.
%% * {{Telepathy}}: This is Tei's power.
* ThinkingUpPortals: Takao's ability. [[PowerAtAPrice Though he usually gets seriously injured whenever he uses it.]]
* TokenGoodTeammate: The scientist that deals with the cyborgs. Though he himself would deny being this trope, given that he's still treating them like objects due to the line of his work, he evidently shows concern over their well-being that no one else does.
%%* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture
%% * WhamEpisode: Chapter 4.
* WhiteAndGreyMorality: Although the group out to capture awakened children [[spoiler:(dead or alive)]] is a ''very'' dark shade of gray, their ultimate goal is to protect the public. [[EvilPlan For now.]]
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Though Quon doesn't openly angst over his immortality, he's [[spoiler:pretty happy to [[{{Depower}} finally be free of it]] at the end]].
* YamatoNadeshiko: Tei is a very traditional example of this trope. Right down to walking around in a kimono.
