There are only 2 things I ask of the anime:
1) Academia x One Punch Man crossover. This can be an OVA/OAD.

2) The ED song is either Mariah Carey's "Hero" or Enrique Iglesias's "Hero". (Strongly leaning to Carey, given the inspirational nature of the lyrics and mention of heroes.) Good chance to use a more mainstream English song in an anime.

Unless the committee suits want to showcase another J-pop/rock song, of course.

I think Deku will be voiced by Tetsuya Kakihara.
Mark my words Very Happy !

I don't think that its possible, BnH is owned by TOHO while OPM is owned by Bandai Visual, if they were owned by the same company and were done by the same studio then it would have been possible.

Umakoshi designs for a battle shounen animated by Bones?! This is going to be amazing. Would be even more amazing if he's also the chief animation director.

Ah. I didn't know both franchises were owned by 2 different companies.
Hopefully someone's smart enough to do pixiv fanart in this case.

Not a bad looking staff list at all. Everything is looking pretty solid.

Well, the anime distribution rights specifically.
As actual franchises, Shueisha would own both.

The guy in charge of the scripts seems solid enough, but I worry the director seems really uninspiring.

How so? His designs looks exactly like the manga art.

I'm very pleased with the main staff. Nagasaki and Kuroda worked miracles on Gundam Build Fighters, a show that turned out much better than it had any right to be with that silly premise, and Umakoshi is a god amongst animators.

Oh God someone from that crapfest Classroom Crisis? I don't have too much of an opinion on everything else but of all the shows for me to make connections to THAT one is one of the worst you could get... I don't have have any experience with Gundamn (not really into mecha) but I have heard good things from the build series so MAYBE it'll balance out...? I dunno.

While I too think that any pre-existing English song would be a long shot, there is another "Hero" out there that I think would suit a superhero show much better than either of those two.

That would be "Hero" by Skillet.

Or "Hero" by Jessie J.
