I agree that "Shin Godzilla" focused a lot on how bureaucratic the Japanese government response to him showing up was. Anno's take is closer to the tack that was taken in the very first film. Anno's film was as much a statement on the ossified Japanese bureaucracy and its inability to respond rapidly to sudden change, either positive or negative, as much as it was a Kaiju film.
