Yes. It's been awhile since I've seen that one but the anti-imperial Japan sentiment was pretty on the nose if I recall correctly. At least for Miyazaki standards.
I was once told that "Shin Godzilla could only have been made by a Japanese nationalist that got over himself"--that is, he wasn't a nationalist anymore.
Haven't seen the movie, so I don't know how true that is.
But to tie that into the above, Hideaki Anno did that one.
