For the 3rd and final installment of Anime and manga length. The 3rd Bowl of porridge is the medium length. The best example that comes to mind would be something like FMA: Brotherhood. These can be anything from an established manga (FMA) to to a original anime that happens to have success so it goes for a few seasons. Contrary to the three little pigs this is not always just right.
When done well however The 3rd Bowl can have that perfect middle ground. It has the length to fully develop characters and story, while not going so long that you have to become a shut in for a year to finish it. Only a month or so. which if done in the winter won't cause you to be much more pale than everybody else! (for maximum social acceptability.) Although admittedly I don't think that is the highest concern on most people who are really into anime's priorities. But does make it easier to get a new person to watch it. Keeps said person entertained for a long period of time, without forcing a serious life change. Because most people watch TV every day any ways.
When done well this has the potential to be the best. Although it hasn't turned out that way very much because by definition the best anime and manga are not as likely to go that distance. If it is a top flight success like One Piece there isn't any reason to stop. Or get a classic like Cowboy Bebop, and they don't want to go longer so as not to mess with their classic rating.
Thats really it, most of the pluses and minuses were covered previously. So Shorter Post.
Manere Sitiem Amicus.
