I would note the situation need not be that bad at all... Ranma has been successfully crossed with other series that are more secretive and it generally works... consider Ranma and X-Men crossovers... Maho Sensei Negima crossovers as well... I've also seen it as an issue in high School DXD crossovers. Technically, in Sailor Moon supernatural is supposed to be secret, otherwise every episodes would be full of cops, but it does not stop anyone. Just to name a few off top of head.
Just because people get that facet of Ranma 1/2's setting wrong in other crossovers doesn't justify it.
Heck, lots of people completely fail to get this aspect of canon right in non-crossover stories, seeing how many fanfics have some scene of a character going "Holy crap magic exists?!" after learning about Ranma's curse.
And really? X-men crossovers? You think putting Ranma in the Marvel Universe doesn't mesh with a setting that people know the supernatural exists? There are literal wizards in the Marvel Universe.
And Sailor Moon doesn't have cops involved for the same reason any super hero show might not.
Anyways, my more fundamental issue is that this is Yet Another Ranma Crossover that starts with "Ranma leaves Nerima"
Those are always so dull and out of character for him.
Also holy crap no on giving Ranma magical powers. We don't need more overpowered Ranma wanking, nor should he in any way be mistaken for a Servant. Any Servant should be able to destroy Ranma with one hand behind their backs and their eyes closed.

His love/hate bickering with Akane, his fights with Ryoga, his attempts to dodge Shampoo, his straight man antics with Kuno. Without them he's much less fun and I have much less interest in reading him.
Plus, as someone who is fairly involved with the Type Moon fandom I am Sick. And. Tired. Of AU Holy Grail War fics anyway. Do something more interesting, if you're going to make a Ranma/FSN crossover make it post FSN, follow one of the routes, put it in the Hollow Ataraxia time period instead, do something different.
PCHeintz72 wrote:I guess it all comes down to perspective... See, one of the reasons I like crossovers, such as that proposed here, is to see the interaction of Ranma with those characters *instead* of the canon cast. So for me, a good crossover, even if with only Ranma in it, is appealing. There are some crossovers which should never be done, and tons with bad setups... but for those that are good, I'll generally give a shot..

Mostly centering on Shiro crossing over with another series... like Campione, or Sekirei, or High School DXD, or Familiar of Zero, etc...
I do it for the variety...
Magic and the supernatural in the Ranma 1/2 univrse is known. It's a fairly common thing people see, you can buy magic items in stores for cheap and get them by mail. Nobody is particualrly shocked when they learn about Ranma's curse beyond it being an oddity.
