History Main / CrashintoHello

* In ''LightNovel/GoodLuckNinomiyaKun'''s anime adaptation, Mayu [[CuteClumsyGirl falls down]] a helicopter ramp and lands on Shungo's face ass-first. This may be a warning to the viewer that "yes, it's going to be that kind of show."

* In ''LightNovel/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove'''s [[TrappedInTVLand Trapped in a]] DatingSim episode, Mahiro "meets" Nyarko on the first day of school this way, parodying the trope's ubiquitousness in general and the ''Evangelion'' example in particular.

* ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'': The OriginsEpisode shows that Ladybug first met Cat Noir after she tested her yo-yo for the first time, which sent her flying through the air...an crashing into Cat Noir, who was walking across his pole in midair.

If both parties are sufficiently inattentive, they wind up piled one on top of the other on the ground in a position easily mistaken for extreme passion. After a beat, the two will wind up in an InstantSeiza position, facing away from one another and blushing furiously. One party could also be [[AccidentalPervert mistaken for a pervert]]. This is a favored pickup tactic of {{Cute Clumsy Girl}}s. [[LiterallyFallingInLove Or it might give a more sweet atmosphere.]]

* In ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers'', done when Caro tumbled down the train station escalator and Erio used Sonic Move to save her. They crashed into the top of the upper floor -- with Erio's hands on Caro's chest, accidentally and innocently (they're about ''ten'' years old), though ''both'' were embarrassed and went to an InstantSeiza position afterward. It should be noted they did ''not'' dwell on it, a rarity in these instances.

* In ''Webcomic/EarsForElves'', Tanna's opinion of Rolan is forever shaped by how she first met him. Running through the forest, he knocks her down and lands on top of her. He gets up too quickly for her to protest and vanishes off, narrowly averting an InstantSeiza.

* ''Manga/HeavensLostProperty'': Tomoki ''invokes'' this. When he uses a magical device to transform himself into a girl, Tomoko decides to have as much fun as she can by invoking all manner of cliche anime tropes that involve physical contact with other people. Before making her first appearance and introduction at school as the new girl, the first thing she does is set up a situation where she crashes into a male student, then gauges his reaction and storms off while calling him a pervert for seeing her panties. That was only the start of her mischief.

* Subverted in ''LightNovel/MyMentalChoicesAre'' - while Chocolat falls down from the sky, she manages to stop herself just before she hits Kanade.

* In ''LightNovel/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove'''s [[TrappedInTVLand Trapped in a]] DatingSim episode, Mahiro "meets" Nyarko on the first day of school this way, parodying the trope's ubiquitousness in general and the ''Evangelion'' example in specific.

* ''LightNovel/LoveChunibyoAndOtherDelusions'': In the original {{light novel|s}}, Yuuta meets Rikka this way.

[[spoiler:Though technically it's not the first time that they've met.]]

* In ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', [[TeenGenius Toushiro Hitsugaya]] meets his future lieutenant Rangiku this way though [[OneHeadTaller a small problem]] also makes it a FunbagAirbag her... [[GagBoobs generous assets]] almost snap the poor boy's neck! Then he began to cry and nosebleed at the same time.

* ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'': Subverted in the last episode of ''Zoku'', as Meru is running away from the pedophile who kidnapped her, she crashes into Majiru. It first looks like they're going to MeetCute, but then some more weird voices come out of the speaker she was wearing around her neck ([[ItMakesSenseInContext long story]]). She immediately runs away in embarassment, though Majiru does seem to start to develop a PrecociousCrush.

* ''LightNovel/MyNextLifeAsAVillainessAllRoutesLeadToDoom'': Before they get reincarnated as characters of the FictionalVideoGame ''Fortune Lover'', Sophia, whose pre-reincarnation was [[FriendlessBackground Atsuko Sasaki]], first met [[BlitheSpirit the girl]] who we would know as Catarina...from the latter falling from a tree and landing right on top of her. After this, a beautiful friendship is born--one that Atsuko wished for ReincarnationFriendship.

* Subverted in ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' where the club president lands on Haruhi during a visit to her house. The sensible Haruhi shrugs it off as an accident. Her ''father'' however has a [[OverprotectiveDad less than pleasant reaction to it]].

* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'', the Warrior of Light meets [[spoiler:Themis, a younger Elidibus in the unsundered past]], by stepping through a portal that sends them plummeting from the sky and into the other person's head. After both recover from the resulting splitting headache, the person the Warrior crashed into mentions that he was told to expect a "shooting star", but he wasn't expecting it to be quite so literal.

* In the ''Series/FamilyTies'' episode "They Can't Take That Away From Me", this is how Alex meets Marty, a music student he falls for while tutoring her. It happens ''multiple'' times in their first encounter.

** ''Anime/SmilePrettyCure'': Miyuki is very GenreSavvy about this. In the first scene of the first episode, she is LateForSchool and thinks about this trope, then goes full speed into a corner to encounter no one. Disappointed, she then turns around only to get a MentorMascot to the face and gets ecstatic about it.... while [[MentorMascot Candy]] just gives her funny looks.

* In ''LightNovel/GoodLuckNinomiyaKun'', Mayu [[CuteClumsyGirl falls down]] a helicopter ramp and lands on Shungo's face ass-first. This may be a warning to the viewer that "yes, it's going to be that kind of show."

* In Chapter 2 of ''Fanfic/AddressUnknown'', Twilight runs into Derpy on the way out of the library and ends up scattering a whole mailbag in the rain. PlayedForDrama, as Derpy is already on probation with the Cloudsdale Post Office and [[MeanBoss Crafty Crate]] uses the incident to fire her. It all works out, though, as [[BenevolentBoss Post Haste]] wastes no time in offering her a position in Ponyville once he learns that it wasn't her fault and that she was able to dry and deliver the mail with Twilight's help.

* ''Film/MississippiMasala'': Mina meets Dexter when she accidentally crashes the car she's driving into Dexter's van.

* ''Manga/{{Sekirei}}'': Taken UpToEleven in the very beginning, when Minato is walking sadly across the street, lamenting that he failed the college entry exam (again) and that he doesn't have a girlfriend, right when Musubi literally comes falling from above and crashes into him.

* ''Fanfic/ImWhoNow]] has a particularly painful one between the self-insert and a clueless Junko Enoshima. They both only end up surviving by transplanting parts of the SI's brain to replace the damaged parts of Junko's, leading to the SI eventually taking over Junko's body.
