In effect, the less a title has votes, the more it is pulled towards the mean (7.5237). 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 7.5237) | |||

| 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. | |||

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. | |||

Things only get more complicated for D as his mission to escort the Baron concludes in this twelfth American release of the Vampire Hunter D novels. Though many interesting things happen, it still has the same strengths and weakness as most previous novels.
