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

Koichi Haimawari, a seemingly unremarkable college student with aspirations of heroism, has given up on his dream. In a world where 80% of the population possesses superhuman abilities called Quirks, only a select few are chosen to become heroes. Koichi's life takes a turn when he and Pop☆Step are rescued by the vigilante Knuckleduster, who recruits them into the world of vigilantism.
