On the anime front, Ranma 1/2 is ludicrously good at combining with almost any other anime set in the modern-ish day. It's such an absurd kitchen sink of magic, crazy martial arts, curses, super-science, and badass normals that almost anything can be slotted into it and work. It's designed around loose and vague rules for comedic purposes that can easily be adapted to accommodate almost any other universe's unique powerset by incorporating it into it's own mishmash. It's very hard, after seeing Martial Tea Ceremony, Martial Fast Food Delivery, and Martial Overeating, to say that a given power doesn't work with Ranma's absurd range of types of combat.
Ranma's notable for crossing over so much with Sailor Moon that the term "Fukufic" was invented just to refer to that specific crossover. It perfectly fits into Full Metal Panic, gets along with Tenchi Muyo like a house afire (and make no mistake, a house will be afire after the Nerima Wrecking Crew passes through), and is commonly crossed with the modern section of Inuyasha due to having the same author; and Ranma and Inuyasha having similar outfits, personalities, love interests, and using the same voice actor.
Kinda notable that Ranma 1/2, on fanfiction.net, has 15K stories but 2K crossovers, nearly 1 in 7. Meanwhile Naruto comparably has 434K stories and 35K crossovers, less than 1 in 12. The now-defunct Anime Addventure began with Ranma and crossed it over with nearly every other show ever made from Star Wars to Naruto to Harry Potter to I Dream of Jeannie and they all worked. Very few shows have managed the kind of crossover power Ranma 1/2 has.
