Well, we still get that stronger discussion at the end once the whole thing is complete, but we also get to discuss how things progress to that point and possibly pick on some smaller details throughout that would get lost in one big discussion.

I also voted for Shinsekai Yori, but Psycho-Pass is actually a good example of a show that frequent discussion could be meaningful for. There's a lot of stuff that happens that makes you think about that society and the pros and cons of something like Sybil, but they're not totally relevant to the overarching plot so they tend to get missed in discussions.

And I guess rather than making another comment, I'll say that averaging around an episode a day is probably a decent pace. Like, if we discussed 6-7 episodes once a week it would take us two weeks to finish a 13 episode series and we'd have a decent amount to discuss at each point. Conveniently, 6-7 episodes in is frequently some sort of turning point in a show so something exciting will probably lie around those episodes.
