Watch Mari-Kari

Mari-Kari is an animated horror-comedy web series that debuted on FEARnet's website in 2010. The show is fondly remembered by fans for its unique blend of dark comedy, spine-chilling horror, and poignant moments of sibling relationships. Despite its relatively short run, with its eight episodes typically running for about five minutes each, the show succeeded in carving out a distinct place for itself in the spectrum of animated horror programs.

Mari-Kari revolves around the lives of two Asian-American twin sisters named Mari and Kari. Mari is the living twin, a gentle and compassionate soul who adapts to her daily life at middle school the best way she can. Her many adventures in school include navigating through tricky social situations, dealing with bullies, and managing first infatuations. A stereotypical good-girl, Mari values good grades, friendships, and norms of society. She is often caught in the overwhelming world of school, friendships, crushes, and growing up.

In stark contrast, Kari, her twin, is a ghost. She died in a tragic accident but continues to coexist (albeit invisibly) with her sister Mari. Kari often acts as the protector and avenger for her sister in situations that Mari finds unbearable or difficult. Possessing ghostly powers, she turns the tables on bullies or anyone who daunts her sister. Unlike her sister, Kari isn
