Yeah, it's a harem. (Imagine our surprise.) Our Hero is Godou. The blonde in the red dress is Erica. She's a magic knight associated with a group of Illuminati in Italy. The miko (bottom, in green?) is Mariya. She works for a group in the Japanese government which tries to manage people with magic to prevent catastrophe.

The one with white hair is Liliana. We don't know much about her yet. We haven't met the last one. But there are images in the OP that suggest that eventually all four will work with him as part of a team.

But we did meet a strange girl with elf ears, who identified herself as Pandora, and who seems to have mediated his transformation from ordinary kid to god-killer. She may be some sort of meta-deity.

It looks like he got all ten of Verethragna's avatars along with the sword, and can use every one of them at will. However, he can only use each once per day, a pretty severe limitation. They're all tremendously powerful, though.

The rumor was that with all of this he was still going to turn out to be a rug for all the girls. At least in ep 2, that doesn't seem to be the case. Erica has been manipulating him, and he finally stood up to her. So there's hope.

I don't intend to drop this one yet.

(By the way, I think it's stupid to include punctuation marks in a show title, and I'm not going to play along with it. Just thought I'd mention that.)
