Webtoon Review: Mari-Kari
Mari and Kari (both voiced by Shannon Doherty) are twins who attend Gilles de Rais Elementary School. Mari is a chipper young blonde who’s well, a little air-headed. Kari is a rather creepy young lady who is violently protective of Mari and is undead. Mari wants to be friends with all her classmates, none of whom can stand her. They are mean to Mari, Kari sees this and mass murder ensues.
This is a series of short cartoons on the Fearnet site, perhaps five minutes each. This is a horror-themed website, and the show is definitely not for children the same age as the protagonists. They are extremely violent in a cartoony way; if you had to websearch M. de Rais to get the reference, this cartoon is probably not for you.
While Mari-Kari is often funny, the over the topness of the series is frequently pushed too far for my tastes and ceases to amuse. Knowing when to pull back and use some subtlety will aid the creators in their future endeavors. but hey, it’s short.
