Maybe the problem with the Marvel/DC universes is they ARE crossover universes (explaining the ret con syndrome). Spiderman visited enough on his own. Also, a mutant that got powers accidentally is something obtainable by the public... born in to it is harder for people to deal with. The gained powers are basically like powersuits this way. Also, mutant hate is a political issue... logic isn't always part of the package. They are blaming other people and logic and reason are to stay out of this. The X-men was basically a civil rights issues comic with battles. Spiderman was dealing with the McCarthy era comic book code which only Superman, Batman, and Wonder woman survived. While they declared Batman was giving off a 'gay' vibe they totally misssed that Wonder woman was vulnerable to bondage (her weakness is tiing her wrists together cancels her power... well minus that illogical episode she ended up a pig and broke free anyway once she turned back). They have an agenda and you and your logic can stay out of it.

With Akane they had time for it to sink in she was that good. Those fights happened and then she was at them for over a month before Ranma got there. By the time the random martial artists were common it had time to sink in these freaks existed. With Ranma it was BAM!, 'Did he just jump out a third story window?' BAM! 'Kuno can do that with air pressure'?' BAM 'Did he just run through waist deep concrete complaining the other guy ran away'? Most of the MADM that showed up were after they had except that that just happened. Again. Well its free entertainment. When the Golden Pair came around they were something special. By Mariko it was 'Glee! another freak to watch fighting Ranma!' Their minds decided trying to rationalize it was pointless... and I think their insurance companies made them put up the 'Please do not break this wall' signs.
Remember that Ryoga became a small towns first tourist attraction in one episode, he was just that random. Explaining with my unofficial zoning would explain the density in Nerima. There only a few thousand world wide... they are just really noticeable. Happi found Soun (historical dojo owner/inheritor) and Genma in Nerima or near by. Also, the series concentrates on the times of conflict. A few weeks of downtime is normal.
The Japanese culturally try to ignore things they don't want to deal with (like how many people they brutally slaughtered as dogs in WW2). If it goes on long enough its time to except it and move on with your life or leave the area. The idea of not responding with 'Smile and nod' is relatively new to them. Recently they've had issues with women refusing to marry and demanding female only, groper free subway and train cars.
Always remember the Japanese are writing these not Americans... Hell, people mostly miss that Ranma 1/2 was meant to be a piece that blurred the traditional gender lines... not high art and drama. Ranma 1/2 is a social issue piece. This is one of the main reasons that so many strong powerful female leads show up in Japan.
As Canadians and Americans we already got most of the gender equality issues out of tour systems comparatively. If you look at Arabian comics they have a character that fights the evil Zionist empire. Comics are politically/culturally driven.
I always thought the show p at the right time thing also had to do with the first episode only cry for help from Molly via the meatball gems. Considering Usagi has another personality that kicks in on occasion she may be the one steered towards such events and not know it.
