----------------------------------------
Penultimate episode time! I am going to miss this ridiculous but fun show when it finishes airing :).

Aha, Freecell's necklace from his mother is indeed a kumiki puzzle and he wants to solve it with Kaito. Puzzle bros forever :P.

Wow, Freecell hugging Nonoha and thinking that she looks like his mother with her hair down hahaha XD. Nonoha really does look much prettier with her hair like that. She should change it to her default hairstyle :D.

So Hoist might potentially be Freecell's biological father? He could have also just simply had an enormous crush on Freecell's mother ;).

Whoa was worried for a minute there when Freecell put Klondike's final ring onto Kaito's wrist but thank goodness Kaito managed to shatter it with his mind really quickly ;). KAITO AND FREECELL PAZURU TAIMU NO HAJIMARI DA! :)

Freecell, who saw future vision of him, Kaito , and childhood girl, spending time with the childhood girl, who looks like his mother. So the pendant was the puzzle that young Freecell wanted to solve with Kaito (the promise), and the puzzle that his mother made had a message "You are my hope". Kaito even refused the bracelet from the ex-boss of Orpheus Order. To Himalayas, where there's Kami no Puzzle that Freecell made, closed space that might never let them return.

I'm not sure the butler's relations with Freecell's mother because he knows her name. Or is he just one of the co-op. of the experiment?

Freecell's narration to final ep. was so powerful and emotional, Kaito as the hope when he's lonely.

That thought had crossed my mind as well but I'm not sure because Hoist does seem too young to be Freecell's dad. This is anime though and we do get very young looking dads so maybe he is the father LOL ;).

I didn't expect Freecell to put the ring to Kaito!
But it didn't work!

Can't wait to see the conclusion.

For the 1st time in both seasons i could tolerate Nonoha i think its because she looked good as hell with her hair down. LMFAO

Either way i still think season 1 is better the puzzles was better in season 2 though but not the story.

Wh-Wha-WHATTT was that?! Was it my idea or Freecell looked so damn cute throughout almost the whole episode (obviously the crazy eye moments are omitted)? Damn, he is rly just so cute! I have to say I actually like him. Only in the last 2-3 epis I actually started understanding him and he's not really bad. Out of everyone, I can see how his mind is all over the place and why he gets such mood swings and why he does what he does. Now it all makes sense. The promise, the obsession, the love/hate, everything. I believe he must be the most well developed character in the series (though tbh, apart from Kaito, noone else had any real development to count in). Can't believe I liked him so much towards the end of the series xD

On to the series itself, Nonoha let down her hair \o/ That was probably the most anticipated scene from season 1! She's just so pretty with her hair down (and how cute was Freecell looking at her >.< Kyaaa~<3) and for once she wasn't useless. In this season, I hardly count anyone actually useful but Nonoha was even more behind for the obvious reason that she can't compete with puzzles so she played the role of the emotional trigger and even though it could be thought as predictable, it was still nice. She did something!

Also, after such a touching scene with Nonoha and Freecell I have to say I didn't expect her to totally ignore him when Kaito arrived. It was like nothing ever happened. Same applies to Freecell. I expected him a bit more attached and not be blind to her once Kaito arrived. Oh well, nice moments last for too lil in this anime.

Hoist on the other hand, was... thrown away. I could see he had some high goals and I can understand the feeling that when you are this close to your desire coming true, you just can't help it and show more emotion than you should. Half the time (especially in anime and tv) that's enough to make you ineligible to attain what you want.

I always like when people get surprised at the obvious turns of events. They all knew about the ring but they all had to have a face like they had never assumed what would happen. Kaito broke it pretty fast. First season took him around... the whole season and this time only a minute! That's progress! Maybe next time he can maybe even avoid falling for the trap! But then again, where would be the cliche shounen style if he were truly smart and careful?

Either way, pretty decent episode. I even upped the score by 1 cause I liked the last 2 epis and made me see the start a bit differently. Now it has a 6! I'm not rly looking forward to the next episode terribly cause it'll rly go back to cliches and Kaito saving him and bleh, that's boring. I do hope it surprises me though (don't let him die T.T He's too cute!) but I highly doubt it. As last episode, it has some things to complete.

PS: My eternal question. Every time the villain moves hands or just have a crazy look, the puzzle seems to be moving. Are the emploees always watch the villain to know when to to be ready and make the puzzles move? It'd be fun if one wasn't paying attention!

Hahaha seriously who names their kid Freecell? No wonder the kid is so bonkers. Now he thinks Nonoha is his mother? Yeah that's possible.

I kinda hate how useless Gamon and the others have become.

BUT PUZZLES ARE SERIOUS BUSINESS.

Whist got smoked! "You're not in the future I've seen. I don't want your presence to defile it. GET LOST!"

Expected episode, bunch of setup talk for the finale. I seriously hope the final puzzle is worthy of being called a final puzzle. Kaito is a champ, power of the ring isn't required for champs like him. Can't wait for the final episode!

Whaaaaat? This episode was just random, but for some reason it made the rest of the series make way more sense... I'm about sick of Freecell though. Hoist as well, who's basically a butler with no real purpose other than doing everything for the characters to interact. Then once they're done with him he just leaves. No real point to him.

Also, moe Freecell? The hell? Nonoha! KEEP YOUR HAIR DOWN.
I was glad she finally got some kind of purpose in this season, but then, even though Freecell went bonkers over her being his mother (which is totally crazy), she's just given back like nothing happened anyway.
Sigh....

This episode was actually pretty good. Good news that a third season is coming...

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Oh my. Nanoha looks good with her hair down; very pretty there :)

Anyways, this penultimate episode seems to set things off for the finale of Freecell vs. Kaito. Who will win?!?! I can't wait to find out.

^ That scene </3 The series does it again! I almost thought that they are gonna kiss... Freecell was kinda sweet, tbh! The hug and him asking Nonoha to let her hair down, so cute moments!! I should question Nonoha's self control over cute boys. Freecell's "Boku no Mama" was a little evil though. And I could see from the next episode preview Rook will get to see the final battle! He is kinda late as Freecell has already stolen Kaito away from him.
