Minor nitpicks, the acting is modern day jdrama so it kinda breaks the immersion of post ww2 setting, godzillas tiny arms looked shriveled and do nothing, the way most reaction shots were framed such that the actors and the godzilla they were reacting to were obviously not in the same picture, this is probably nod to the tokusatsu traditions

Originally this was set to be a prequel to Shin (of which that seems to have been dropped at some point as its not mentioned anywhere), of which it was equally guilty of this problem.
Did it still work as a prequel to Shin, or did it break continuity entirely? I confess I enjoy Anno's work so it'd be nice if that could be revived at a later point
Considering Shin was set somewhere in the modern era and this is set right after WW2 it pretty much had no real continuity to break unless there was something specifically in this new one that would preclude it.
Which is why it was not a well received piece of info at the time and was equally easy to just scrub entirely, it was pointless for anything beyond marketing by connecting it to a popular movie.
Shin had a sequel set up, but everyone involved seems to now be saying they aren't doing anything with it from here (after the Eva crossover ride with Shin Ghidorah) and are instead trying to focus on creating a "Cinematic Universe" with Godzilla. Which normally would be a red flag, but that's basically the entire history of Godzilla's roster to begin with.

Man, I watch old '60s and earlier "horror"/sci fi movies and most of the time the actors and whatever threat they face aren't ever even in the same shot together. I can't imagine something I would care about less than this.
Just watched one where the "scary" bits of the movie are 1 second stock footage clips of a flock of crows flying and a dog barking. Still easily better than most of what Hollywood has put out since 2000.

Yeah. Actual scene from the movie.

Breaks continuity entirely. In shin godzilla is a new entity encountered for the first time, in minus one he's encountered post ww2
