While deaths in anime can often be quick and tragic, not all deaths are depicted in the same way. That was exactly the case for Miu Matsuoka from Ichigo Mashimaro Encore, who wished to show her backflipping skills and happened to land on her head while trying to demonstrate the same.

While this may sound tragic, the anime depicted the same in a very funny manner, especially with the timing. Right as Miu seemingly landed on her head, the anime shifted the scene to her final rites, making it a funny anime moment.
