A post-38 Ranma calling Akane's food toxic waste is OOC as he never uttered anything like that for at least the last 13 volumes, made a challenge to eat it- but not horribly insult it.

Some people (some OTHER people) told me Asuka was too OOC in this part...that's right. But it's a fanfic, isn't it? I want to conclusively prove that Asuka, perhaps deep in her mind, is one of the nicest girls in the world.

Even then, some of the characters were pretty OOC (though I suppose that could be explained by the "magical effect" of the onions).

It'd be OOC if Vejita[sic] weeped upon seeing Goku die at the hands of a big cricket thing. Because he saw it in the series and it didn't really bug him.

If the characters are a bit OOC then please forgive me!

A lot of them seem to either almost completely remove Harry and co. from the fic and have the new characters doing all the wonderful things that Harry was supposed to do, or they have the characters acting completely OOC.

But other then that - Harry is way OOC, the H/Hr relationship is way too unrealistic, Harry in the end becomes way *too* powerful and so on and so forth...

There also seems to be a lot of OOC shouting from Dumbledore...most of which is quite unnecessary, IMO.
