Mari and Kari are identical twins. They're best friends and never apart. Mari is the liveliest girl you'll ever meet. Kari is too. Her problem: she's dead. From there it just gets weird.

* DisproportionateRetribution: The kids at school who tease Mari don't really go beyond the [[PokeThePoodle usual playground bullying]], yet this is enough excuse for Kari to gruesomely butcher them. [[spoiler:Possibly subverted when it turns out the whole school is actually out to get Mari, forcing Kari to massacre the entire student body and destroy the school when one of them tried to [[{{Literature/Carrie}} drop a pig on her.]]]]

** Ditto in Episode 5 when they have her hanging "streamers" made of pig entrails. Instead of Kari, however, it's Larry who does them in.

* {{Gorn}}: When you have a show where someone's intestines are used as jump ropes you're bound to wind up with this.

* MyNaymeIs: Mari and Kari seem to be creative spellings for the names Mary and Carrie respectively since they're pronounced the same.

* RhymeThemeNaming: Mari and Kari. There's also Larry, a red demon ghost, who is introduced in Episode 4, and appears regularly afterwards.
* RiddleForTheAges: The cause of Kari's death, why the newspaper headline about Kari apparently says that people rejoice her demise, and Kari's ability to kill people from beyond the grave is not elaborated on.

* ShoutOut: Episode 8 is a massive ShoutOut to ''Literature/{{Carrie}}'' [[spoiler:when two bullies plan to humiliate Mari, but instead of pig's blood, it's a pig's carcass. Fittingly enough, it's [[{{StealthPun}} Kari]] that does all the slaughtering once she sees what they're up to]].
* TooDumbToLive: Seriously. Despite all the school hating Mari, most of them know that those who bully her die horribly and yet they keep doing it anyway.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Whenever someone gruesomely dies in plain sight, it's not met much with shock though there are exceptions. A good example is the first episode when a student has his head pulled out by Kari during class with the teacher visibly disturbed but manages to keep her composure. None of the unseen classmates are heard screaming in horror either but they were excited for recess.

* WrongGenreSavvy: Mari seems to think she's in a SliceOfLife kids' cartoon centered around school what with her [[CheerfulChild upbeat attitude]] and [[ThePollyanna gee-whiz optimism]], never entertaining the idea that people are out to get her or that they live in a CrapsackWorld where students are dying on a regular basis thanks to her [[BigSisterInstinct overprotective]] yet [[AxCrazy homicidal]] poltergeist sister.

Added DiffLines:

* AngstySurvivingTwin: Subverted. Mari remains cheerful in the wake of her twin sister's death, much to everyone's confusion, but that's because Kari is still with her "[[ExactWords in]] [[OurGhostsAreDifferent spirit]]."

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Some of Kari's kills are needlessly violent, yet also creative. She decapitates a boy by pulling his head out his body along with his spine, for starters.
