Despite its age ''Ranma ½'' still has a remarkably large and vigorous North American fan community and is still responsible for a significant fraction of the anime [[fanfic]]tion on the web, including a wide variety of [[Intercontinuity Crossover|crossovers]]. ''Ranma ½'' is probably one of the most crossed-over series on the internet—on fanfiction.net alone, it has over 1,100 crossovers listed (with hundreds, if not thousands, listed elsewhere, not even counting ''un''listed crossovers, either there or elsewhere). To put that into perspective: while that's one-eighth the number of crossovers that ''[[Naruto]]'' has listed, ''Naruto'' also has over ''twenty-four times'' as many stories listed as ''Ranma'' does total. One sub-type of these crossovers—the [[Fuku Fic]]—is common enough that it has its own trope entry. The series' length and fanbase has predictably resulted in copious amounts of [[Fanon]]. It was even the main inspiration for the comic series ''[[Ninja High School]]'', among many others. |
