When you're reading a manga, you can flip through the pages at your own pace, so you can decide how quickly things flow. With anime, you don't get that control (unless, as was said, you fast-forward). In the end, this is a 24-episode season, and at least the first half is going to be dedicated to this arc, so rushing into things doesn't really get them anywhere. In light novel terms, this is almost like spending 11 episodes on a single volume, which is about half the speed of the Index anime.
In the end, I don't necessarily disagree that this may be a show that's better watched in a batch than week-to-week. In fact, I personally watched most of this franchise that way (both Index and Railgun). IMO, the feeling of the slow build towards the climax works better when you're not always waiting a week for the next part.
