In effect, the less a title has votes, the more it is pulled towards the mean (7.5243). 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 7.5243) | |||

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. | |||

Shakespeare's classic tragedy about teenage love and woe comes to anime in a stylish fantasy reinterpretation by Gonzo. The dynamics may be a bit different, but an effective blend of action and drama forms a backdrop for this beautiful exploration of the pain and joy of fresh young love.

The Bount arc gets properly underway, and lays a solid foundation, as Ichigo and associates encounter a new threat. The actual course of events is a very typical mix of flashy action, silly comedy, and good old-fashioned angst, but it should keep fan interest.
