There are some anime shows that are fun to watch, but aren't necessarily easy to talk about, at least not at length.

A good comedy mini-series is probably a good example of this. Even if it's very good and funny, what (more) is there to say about it? Dissecting jokes is more or less the same as explaining them, and we all know what they say about how explaining jokes ruins them...

Now, a full-length anime show, even one that's close to pure episodic comedy (like Nichijou is), will tend to have more in the way of easily-discussable content. Even if the characters spend most of their time joking around (or in situational comedy moments), discernible personalities can start to come to the fore after a certain amount of time has passed. A full-length series is more likely to hit that certain point within a lone episode than a comedy short is.
