The anime adaptation is brought to life by Bones Studio, and IGN's review of the first episode hails it as "a worthy spin-off of the popular superhero anime." Here’s the official synopsis of the new anime:

Koichi Haimawari, a seemingly ordinary college student with dreams of heroism, has resigned himself to a life without heroics. In a world where 80% of the population possesses superhuman powers called Quirks, only a select few are chosen to become heroes. Koichi's life takes a dramatic turn when he and Pop☆Step are rescued by the vigilante Knuckleduster, who then recruits them into the world of vigilantes!
