YMMV / Mari-Kari

• Alternative Character Interpretation:
  • Either Mari is unaware that Kari is dead owing to her extreme airheadedness, or she is aware but has no reason to be sad about it since she can still interact with her sister's ghost because, in a way, she was never technically gone.
  • Kari's reaction to seeing Mari kiss Larry on the cheek. Is it directed at Mari for putting the moves on her crush or at Larry for reacting positively to her sister's advances? Or is she mad at them both for essentially making her a third wheel?
• Friendly Fandoms: It's been compared favorably to Happy Tree Friends. Not that hard to see why.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: While the cartoon was mostly overlooked in America during its initial run, it was featured in a video about gory American cartoons by Japanese YouTuber, Kirin, leading to a surge in popularity 8 years later. As a result, most of the fanart related to the show is from Japanese fans.
• Moe: Mari, with her cheerful, if at times a bit kooky, personality and cute character design. Kari as well, to a lesser extent, thanks to her eye-obscuring bangs, subverting the Cute Oversized Sleeves trope, and her unrequited crush on Larry. It's no surprise that Japanese viewers found them endearing.
