Release

Mizuho manufactures the machine as part of a wider Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann: Restart Project push, and it passes Japan's gaming machine testing in November 2015 before its February 22, 2016 launch. Two versions ship side by side, one themed around Gurren Lagann and the other around Lazengann, each with its own reel art and setpieces, and the pair is planned for roughly 24,000 cabinets nationwide.

Machine Features

The cabinet leans on the anime's spiral and drill imagery through features called the Spiral Shutter and Emblem Accessory. When Simon strikes his signature dramatic pose during play, the odds of landing a jackpot jump sharply, reportedly past 60 percent, tying the machine's biggest moments directly to that catchphrase scene from the show.
