Ah! Here we have Hara again, the eldest sister of the Suicidal Americanime Sisters! Yup, they're officially American now, not that it's exactly too far off of the real life truth.

The story of the Suicide American Anime Sisters is quite a funny one. Hara, Kiri and Baka were three sisters who went around doing great heroic deeds, until one day, while trying to save a pregnant lady from a burning building ,they were flattened by a falling piano. While Baka died, Hara and Kiri found out to their surprise that they were barely scratched. As it turns out, Hara and Kiri aren't Japanese anime characters like they had thought throughout their whole lives, but actually American cartoon derivatives! As a result, they are incapable of dying, whereas, Baka was anime, so she got killed pretty damn easily.

When they were children, the three girls made a promise never to be apart, and with Baka in some afterlife or another (Take your pick), that promise now seemed impossible to fulfill, since Hara and Kiri can't die, but Hara and Kiri can't take "Live!" for an answer, and so they're going to find a permanent solutions to their temporary problem, one suicide attempt at a time.

Okay, realistically, there are a lot of North American produced cartoons where people die, often extremely violently, but you're not going to see them on mainstream television any time soon, so I'm still sticking my guns to the stereotype. Of course, a concept like this is just too evil for North American audiences too, you can just imagine the censors grilling this concept and parents protesting, but if you analyze the context of Suicide American Anime Sisters, it's actually a story about the celebration of love and life, not death and dissonance.

Hara is the more mature of sisters, often coming up with the the pair's elaborate plans to kill themselves. It seems that they are super human as well, so a mere slitting of wrist wouldn't do the job, it has to be something so grandiose that it's ridiculous, like bungee jumping into an erupting volcano -- minus the bungee cord.
