because Ranma Fan-fics are the easiest to write. It's one of the closet
Animes to reality.

.....
Ranma is the sitcom of anime.

And the one with the least point to it.  Maison Ikkoku is more meaningful,

Ranma is one of the only animes with well defined characters. Most people
can think of "What would Ranma do here..." or "What would Kuno say if..." many other animes lack sensitivity or are over dramatic. This can be the
result of bad dubbes/subs. Ranma is also one of the most entertaining
anime/mangas.
