Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade
Scored from 60 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 1990s (4,082 peers).
Summary
In a dystopian alternate-history Japan, an elite paramilitary police unit battles a terrorist organization using increasingly brutal methods. A unit member begins to question their tactics after a mission results in an unexpected tragedy.
Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade is a 1999 animation, drama and science-fiction film. It was made in Japan, in Japanese. The runtime is 102 minutes.
The cohort it is ranked inside is 1990s films — 4,082 of them. Only 60 of its IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 62 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 379 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 1990s (4,082 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 60.
