     We don't like The Senior Year because it is was too OOC. I 

usually don't

mind OOC but I loathe the Senior Year. Most UY fans like Ataru because 

deep

down inside he really loves Lum and only Lum, he is also a very good 

natured

person. There is no plausible reason why he would become a serial 

killer (I

know I sound a little like GUTB and I'm sorry I do.) I have read plenty 

of

serious UY fanfiction but I just don't like TSY. The serious UY stuff I 

like

tends to concetrate on Ataru finally admitting his love for Lum-chan 

(Oni-chan

in one fanfic, I really like this pun.) If you want some serious 

fanfiction

for UY but "The Prince and the Leecher" on your site.

How can you say that it's out of character? He gives a plausible 
explanation for why Ataru was the way he was in UY as well as why he's 
acting the way he does in TSY. The explanation may be different then 
what your used to, but that doesn't make it invalid. 

I think the real reason most UY fans don't like it, is that they, like 
Tomobiki, villify Ataru and venerate Lum.
