| Gotta love it when the girl comes at you with a knife. |
On an errand for his grandfather to return a grimoire to an old friend, Godou runs into a world unlike any other. God's walk the earth, mystical powers are unleashed, and he ends up in the company of a cute young mage. But none of this would have prepared him for what comes next: becoming king of the gods.

| She spent half the ep blushing or buzzed. |
Well, a few things are clear after episode one. First, half the show revolves around showing Erica blushing or dressed down to the point that she should be. Second, this is firmly within the line of the magical/diving/grimoire series, but this time the focus in on bringing in ancient Near-Eastern gods. Third, be ready for a lot of shounen action and awkward/flirty interactions between the two leads.
But being typically shounen that means a few things as well that should shape viewing expectations: (1) it cannot be a great series. Shounen series have to do a number of things (have periodic fights, awkward romances, lurching character development) that preclude the possibility of greatness. (2) It will be somewhat entertaining. Doing things by the book means they will be average. But average can be enjoyable. (3) Be ready for super dumb moralizing speeches in every fight.

| Guess it's not a slow romance... |
Ultimately, this could be a pretty fun show, but will likely be rather indistinguishable from the regular fare. That floats many a boat. Also, the magic/grimoire crowd will be pleased. The only thing I mildly interested in is if the writers can make the "random human becomes a god" bit work well.
