== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]:'' Rei and Shinji first meet in the episode 26 [[Alternate Universe]] by running into each other on the sidewalk on the way to school. Rei immediately becomes embarrassed and covers up her skirt after she assumes Shinji is peeping at her, later bringing it up in front of the rest of their classmates when she sees they are both in the same class.
** ''Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days'', which takes said Alternate Universe and makes it into a full-fledged manga series, extends this into a clear form of [[Meet Cute]], with Asuka demanding that Rei apologizes to Shinji. Rei not only apologizes, but has a change of heart and forms a close friendship with Shinji, much to the ire of Asuka.
** Turned [[Up to Eleven]] in ''[[Rebuild of Evangelion]]'' in the case of {{spoiler|Mari}}, who actually crashes into Shinji with a freaking ''parachute.'' Not to mention that his face winds up [[Marshmallow Hell|between her breasts.]]
* ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]'': Prompted by [[Genre Savvy|a mischievous Sasami]], both Ryoko and Ayeka engineer "crash meetings" with Tenchi ''months'' after they first met him, thinking it's a necessary part of Earth courtship rituals. A somewhat in-character [[Lampshade Hanging]].
* Parodied In ''[[
* Yumi and Sachiko [[Meet Cute|meet]] this way in ''[[Mariasama ga Miteru]]'', at a time that's unclear in the first episode.
* During the "[[Dating Sim]]"/"[[Shojo]]" episode of ''[[
* In episode 2 of ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'', Momoka [[Invoked Trope|bumps into Fuyuki intentionally]] in order to get an excuse to talk to him.
** A flashback chapter in the manga shows this is, in fact, how Fuyuki and Momoka originally met.
Line 105:
* Rainbow Dash first meets Caramel this way in ''[[Assumptions]]''. Unusual for this trope, he's completely unconscious, and Rainbow just leaves him there. It says a lot about Caramel when he forgives her despite her not apologizing, and taking advantage of his generosity for almost two weeks.
* In ''[[Touhou Project|Gensokyo Great Sports Day]]'', Patchouli calls upon the combined forces of Eientei, the SDM, and Hakugyokurou to try and intentionally invoke this trope for Sakuya and Youmu through military-esque actions and overcomplicated planning. Needless to say, it doesn't work, and Reisen and Meiling suffer greatly when the blade-weilding couple-to-be finds out.
* The protagonist and deuteragonist of ''[[Isekai by Moonlight]]'' meet this way, when they're both ''almost'' [[Late for School|late for their first day in the school that they're transferring to]]. It takes the protagonist a few more weeks to realize that this was a [[Love At First Sight]] situation than it takes the deuteragonist. (Mind you, the protagonist is a random guy who's [[Trapped in Another World]] and the deuteragonist is a not-yet-empowered [[Sailor Moon|Makoto Kino]], so her figuring it out first is to be expected.)
== [[Film]] ==
Line 122:
* ''The Wrecking Crew''. Happens to Freya Carlson when she first meets Matt Helm.
* Happens between Jack and David in the beginning of the movie ''Newsies'', in an interesting variation where the two in question aren't love interests. At least not ones that [[Ho Yay|the creators will admit to]].
* ''[[Life Is Beautiful]]''; the protagonist meets the woman he marries this way, crashing into her when on his bicycle.
== [[Literature]] ==
* Mara Jade met Luke Skywalker in ''[[The Thrawn Trilogy]]'', but the first time they meet in the flesh in ''[[Hand of Thrawn|Specter of the Past]]'', he's [[Space Is Cold|cold-shirting]] in a Jedi hibernation trance through a stretch of space, she's standing in a hangar bay to catch him, and she speaks the phrase that will snap him out of the trance as she intercepts him, so he wakes up straddling her on all fours. They then converse a bit about his [[We Will Not Use Stage Make-Up in the Future|disguise]] before she says, "So. You want to get off me, or were you just getting comfortable?"
* ''[[The Three Musketeers (novel)|The Three Musketeers]]'': While he had just seen them in their commander's office, D'Artagnan first speaks to Athos and Porthos after running into them. This being seventeenth century France, they immediately challenge him to duels.
* In the ''[[Dragonlance]] Chronicles'' by Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman, Sturm Brightblade and the elven princess Alhana Starbreeze literally ''fall in love this way.'' They have absolutely zero interaction beyond running headlong into each other, and Sturm pulling her into a doorway out of the way of a rampaging, crazed mob. This is enough to get the xenophobic elf princess to give Sturm a precious, empathic amulet-thing, and to pine for him for the rest of the series.
* ''Ginger Pye'': The main character's parents met when he decided to run up the down escalator at the mall and crashed into her as she was going down.
* In ''[[Griffin's
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
Line 175 ⟶ 174:
* The ending of ''[[Persona 2]]: Innocent Sin'' has Tatsuya running into Maya. This kicks off ''Eternal Punishment'' as Maya is curious about the deja vu kid.
* ''[[Fire Emblem Blazing Sword]]'' has [[Hot-Blooded|Hector]] and [[Shrinking Violet|Florina]] meet this way. She falls on top of him...with a Pegasus. They have potential for an A Support and a paired ending, and the conversation calls back to this.
* The first girl in the dating sim ''[[Crush Crush]]'' is named Cassie. You meet her by getting distracted by a bird and crashing into her with a bike. Also she didn't have insurance.
=== [[Visual Novels]] ===▼
▲== [[Visual Novels]] ==
* In ''[[Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai!|Maji De Watashi Ni Koi Shinasai]]'' Yamato literally bumps into Mayucchi at the start of the game, and already takes advantage of it by snapping shots of her thighs while she's down.
* In ''[[Katawa Shoujo]]'', Hisao's first meeting with Emi happens when she crashes into him in the hall, resulting in him getting a heart flutter, as any impacts to the chest put him at risk.
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* In [http://www.tsunamichannel.com/index.php?date=2003-04-22&comic=ExCoKo this strip] of ''Tsunami Channel: Experimental Comic Kotone'', the Crash Into Hello is [[Lampshade Hanging|presented]] as a staple of dating sim games the comic parodies.
* [
* In [[Amya|Amya Chronicles]] Accel tumbles down some stairs and crashed into Faye early in the story, bringing the main characters together for the first time.
* This is how Bob and Jean first meet in ''[[The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob]],'' in an [http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20060829.html homage to old Reese's Peanut Butter Cup commercials.] Their collision gives rise to [http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20060831.html Molly the Peanut Butter Monster.]
* ''[[Questionable Content]]'' has lampshaded this on [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1543 this page]. The character whose arms she stumbles into has never met her, but has given her his number and photo [http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1430 by proxy], was only just contemplating turning into a [[Stalker with a Crush]], and sarcastically saying how likely it would be for her just to crash into him randomly.
** Also happened to Steve previously in [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=191 this strip], though it's also something of a subversion as the relationship doesn't last long. [[Webcomic Time|Relatively speaking]].
* ''[[Anime News Nina]]'' subverts and lampshades this twice. The first time, Nina crashes into a man, and begins to fantasize about falling in love with him (just like in ''Kimidori Story''), not noticing that he's walking away
* This is how Bleu and BLU Scout meet in ''[[Cuanta Vida]]''. Scout then proceeds to shove Bleu and call him a fag {{spoiler|but later in the story ends up confessing that he's attracted to Bleu}}.
* In ''[[MSF High]]'', an ENTIRE SUBCULTURE is devoted on trying to invoke this. The one we've seen failed, because she was almost up to ''[[Higurashi]]'' levels of [[Yandere]].
* In ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'' [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=920 Matt bumps into a comely guest lecturer] with a pet rabbit and an
* [[Dubious Company]] has a [[Fastball Special|different take]] on applying this trope to [[The Heart|Elly]] and [[The Dark Chick|Mary]].
* In ''[[Ears for Elves]]'', 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 [[Instant Seiza]].
