Week of Sep 28–Oct 4, 2026. How this week is ranked: by r/anime discussion karma for the week — not an Anime Corner poll. Anime Corner’s Fall Week 1 vote is still open, so there’s no finished poll for these dates. Our Top 5 uses the r/anime episode-discussion karma chart (Oct 4 snapshot via anime.logu.jp), counting only shows with an episode that aired Sep 28–Oct 4.
Free fans: vote the poll, then fight it out in the comments. This is the Collective’s Yaboyrocklee Reaction roundup for the week — searchable episode titles, spoiler-free summaries, and Rock’s Main embeds where we covered the show.
Vote: which anime owned this week?
#1 — Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 3, Episode 14 “Resolve” | Yaboyrocklee Reaction
Why it ranks: #1 on the week’s r/anime discussion-karma chart — 4,853 karma and 3,105 comments on the Oct 4 snapshot. The cour finale owned the conversation.
Episode title: Resolve
Spoiler-free summary: The cour closes on two conversations in two different places — Rudeus has an honest, heavy talk at home about Eris and what she means to him, while far away Eris’s side has its own version of that talk, right up until a letter finally arrives. No monster fights, just people talking, and it still locks you in.
Yaboyrocklee Reaction — Mushoku Tensei S3 Ep 14
Also in the Top 5
#2 — Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 4, Episode 19 “Shaula / Hero” | Yaboyrocklee Reaction
Why it ranks: #2 on the r/anime karma chart — 4,591 karma and 1,928 comments for the Season 4 finale (Sep 30).
Episode title: Shaula / Hero (season finale, extended runtime)
Spoiler-free summary: The Watchtower arc hits its finale — fights stack across the tower, Emilia, Julius and Subaru’s crew get pushed to the edge, and the ending makes it clear the story isn’t done with them yet.
#3 — Clevatess Season 2 (Clevatess II), Episode 13
Why it ranks: #3 on the r/anime karma chart — 1,619 karma and 742 comments (Episode 13 aired Sep 30 on TOKYO MX).
Spoiler-free summary: Season 2 of the dark fantasy about Clevatess, the Demon Beast King, keeps rolling while the summer finales and Fall premieres pile up around it — a late-summer run that’s still pulling real discussion numbers.

#4 — You and I Are Polar Opposites Season 2, Episode 13 “Christmas Eve” | Yaboyrocklee Reaction
Why it ranks: #4 on the r/anime karma chart — 1,283 karma and 389 comments on its latest-listed discussion thread. The Season 2 finale, Episode 13, aired Oct 4.
Episode title: Christmas Eve (Season 2 finale)
Spoiler-free summary: The opposites-attract high school rom-com reaches its Season 2 finale. Suzuki and Tani carry the show, Yamada and Nishi give you a whole second couple to root for, and the ending ties things up without spelling everything out.
#5 — JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run, Episode 3 | Yaboyrocklee Reaction
Why it ranks: 1,043 karma and 331 comments on its latest-listed r/anime thread — #6 on the chart overall, and #5 once you drop shows whose episode aired outside Sep 28–Oct 4. Episode 3 dropped on Netflix Oct 2.
Spoiler-free summary: Netflix’s weekly Stage release keeps Johnny and Gyro moving through the cross-country Steel Ball Run race — and the field of riders gets stranger by the episode.
