Unicorn hasn't even finished airing yet, it's a work in progress. But there's also a series of light novels. How much relevant info is in the novels, how much in the anime, how much is lost in translation? Is it ultimately worth watching? The only way to know for sure is to ask.
And frankly, anyone who relies on fucking wikis to judge fiction has wasted a huge amount of time.
And Cliff Notes isn't the same as reading a novel, at least if it's a good one. But it can at least serve as a screening method to decide which ones are worth the time to dive into fully. Another screening method is discussing fiction in newsgroups and learning what's worth the time and what's no better than the wiki.
