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.
