In effect, the less a title has votes, the more it is pulled towards the mean (7.5127). 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 7.5127) | |||

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. | |||

Part evil fairy tale, part spy thriller, part moral study, and all dark resonance, it's something akin to a myth: an Odyssey for the bleak, byzantine years directly after fall of the Soviet Union.
