I won't bother putting in the synopsis for both the original Guilty Crown anime and this, uh, 'summary' of the first eleven episodes, as it can be easily read from the Guilty Crown anime listing.
Like the review before this, the overall rating I've given for Kiseki is based purely upon sound and art, which doesn't really differ from the main anime, as it's all taken out of the main anime anyway. The animation and soundtrack alone are warrant a recommendation for the actual 22 episode Guilty Crown anime, which can be enjoyed even if you don't find the story or the characters overly that interesting.
...
Unless, you're like me, and did find both extremely enjoyable parts of the anime, then it totally just becomes kick-ass.
So this attempt of a summation is, at best, only really worth viewing if you want a really quick recap after not having seen the first half in a long time, or if haven't seen the first eleven episodes. And even then, it shouldn't even be considered as a substitute; it only makes watching this confusing, as opposed to just frustrating.
Even after viewing Kiseki, the summation that they decided to leave you with is extremely short-handed in the sense that you probably won't understand the main story, most of the more minor, but equally important, parts of the story have been left out in order to cram it all in under an hour. To save yourself the confusion, and to experience the awesomeness that is Guilty Crown, I highly suggest just watching the eleven episodes.
Coming from a biased viewpoint, where I thoroughly enjoyed Guilty Crown, it would make sense that I would recommend the actual anime either way, and of course I do. But even then, when I suggest not to watch this, it's not just because the recap doesn't do the anime justice, it's just really that terrible.
TL;DR: If you feel as if you can't sit through the first episodes, whether it be for the first time, or as a refresher, then it does it's job at putting across the bare essential knowledge from the first half. My suggestion, however, is just to watch the first half again.
