Towanoquon
Towanoquon is sort of similar to X-Men in which a group of outcasts with special powers called Attractors are being hunted down in a dystopic future by a secret society desiring global domination and see the Attractors as a threat to their domination. Premise seem familiar? The characters aren't much better as they fill their specific archetypes such as the idealistic hero (Quon), the sexy partner (Yuri) and the crazed baddie who obviously wants world domination (Kamishiro). This makes them rather forgettable as characters, even if some of them get fleshing out as all the Attractors have a tragic past that eventually brought them all together (yet another tiresome cliche). The only positive that I can give the series is the animation which sports nicely detailed scenic shots and character designs, plus nicely animated action scenes between Attractors and the enemy cyborgs that are normally dispatched to capture or kill off Innovators throughout the series which are very fluid and great choreography milking the various abilities displayed by the Innovators and cyborgs. Otherwise, Towanoquon is as generic as you can get with its premise and characters, making it a rather forgettable film series as a result.
