NMB48: I Want to play cards! Ep. 1 – Uno, but not the Misako kind

Really? Cards? Don’t you have any loftier goals?

Ohta Yuuri wants to play cards. for her NMB channel special. Uh, that’s great, I guess. Couldn’t you have chosen something that requires more effort or something?

Still, look at that face! Isn’t she adorbs?!

Meet the team.

Renacchi, Mako, Uuka, and Ohta. Kinda wish they mixed it up and got more members from other teams. Also, they’re playing in a room that either looks like they’re gonna have a sleepover, or a prison.

Anyway, since Mako’s finally not showing her forehead her looks seemed to have improved dramatically. She also seems to developed her talking skill, and if I’m not mistaken she also has connections within the industry. I see potential.

I also want to like Uuka, I really do. But sometimes she’s too burikko for me. I guess it makes sense because she’s only 15, but I like it when she looks and acts cool instead of cute. Oh well. I’m also fairly certain she’ll be a bombshell when she grows up.

I also know nothing about Renacchi. Sorry.

Oh God, Uno.

I remember one time I was getting with boba with friends, and they had Uno lying around. This was also when I was a college student and accordingly was quite poor. The boba place was next to the arcade we frequented and I didn’t have money to play so us 4 decided to play Uno.

The game would’ve went on practically forever. I’m sure we were playing one game for at least 30-40 minutes. Some people got tired of it and allowed others to cheat. Those bastards! I think in the end everyone laughed at me because I was salty. I wasn’t REALLY salty but I acted like it. Good times.

I don’t think this game will go on for 30-40 minutes.

And everyone is so friendly too. They all let each other put cards down.

See, when I play, I play for blood. Okay, not for blood, but you know how it is, you want to try and be a jerk to whoever is going to finish and try and see what color they want to put down, or you can save your skips and reverses when they look like they’re going to go out, etc.

Not here.

They’re all giggly and friendly.

Well, that escalated quickly.

You know what else is creepy? It feels like I’m watching a bunch of girls at a sleepover. It looks like they got all their stuff scattered around. Maybe after this game they’ll do each other’s hair and talk about what guys they like.

I am too old for this.

Anyway, Renacchi and Uuka go out quickly. Surprisingly, they didn’t use the Uno rules where you can call Uno before the other guy does and force him/her to draw 4 cards.  That gets people hella riled up. They made up some rule where they had to say Uno in a funny way, which seemed funny if you were a teenage girl.

I am too old for this.

Why’d you lose? You wanted this.

What did the two fingers say to the arm? Slap!

Well, I hope it gets better. Maybe they’ll be more bloodthirsty next time.
