| This rating only includes titles that have at least 10 votes. The bayesian estimate is a statistical technique used to reduce the noise due to low sample counts. In effect, the less a title has votes, the more it is pulled towards the mean (7.524). In other words, these are the titles that many people agree are great. bayesian rating = (v ÷ (v+m)) × R + (m ÷ (v+m)) × C where: R = average for the anime v = number of votes for the anime m = minimum votes required to be listed (currently 10) C = the mean vote across the whole report (currently 7.524) | |||

| Titles with less than 4 votes are removed from the listing but are still counted in the ranking. This explains why there are gaps in the "#" column. The rating is an average of the scores given by voters, weighted to give less importance to users who tend to only rate very high or very low. | |||

| The most popular titles are determined with a simple summation of all votes. Titles with many votes will tend to be at the top, but this is modified a little by the ratings. In other words, the popularity is the straight average score of a title (the value in the rating column) multiplied by the number of votes. | |||

The paths of Clare and Priscilla finally converge as the anime version comes to its controversial conclusion. The appropriateness of what transpires in the final episode may be subject to debate, but the quality of the series is not.
It's no surprise when a hit anime series gets converted to manga form. So it should also come as no surprise that, after comparing the two, the original is better.
Upticks in seriousness notwithstanding, it's still very, very silly. The forward strides it takes are only enough to ensure that its mix of silly fun doesn't stagnate. Which is, of course, exactly as intended.
