* GenreThrowback: The character designs and animation style are clearly a homage to 80's anime such as those by LeijiMatsumoto. The ArtShift beginning of Chapter 4 are especially blatant homage of violent, surreal anime of days gone by.

Added DiffLines:

* 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.

Added DiffLines:

Added DiffLines:

* NoNameGiven: The scientist that works with the cyborg team who, while a recurring character, is never named.


Added DiffLines:

* 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.

* 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.
