Never really thought about it before now but rewatching these clips years later I think the Ranma animators were influenced a fair bit by 70s and 80s Jackie Chan (well modern Chan is pretty much unchanged too). The first clip is chaotic and funny, and the second clip is uncanny with its use of random objects in interesting ways as weapons and how the flow is interrupted when Ranma hurts his back.

Yeah, the animators definitely used Jackie as an inspiration for this. Honestly, anime would benefit a lot by taking inspiration from old-school HK cinema again(another example is Cowboy Bepop fights with Spike)

Anime taking too much inspiration from anime over time has been a disaster, like an ai training too long on it's own results
