As soon as the project was announced, I immediately thought of
Giant Monsters All Out Attack. The concept of Godzilla being a manifestation of the souls of the dead sounds like something Anno would also find interesting, especially given his Evangelion lore. So, basically the concept of GMAOA combined with the tone of the original 1954 film, all executed Anno style.
That being said, Anno's most likely a fan of the 60's and 70's classics. I'd be surprised if he wasn't of the opinion that
The Terror of Mechagodzilla wasn't the best of the "Godzilla VS" movies. And given Anno's very wide and eclectic approaches to film, I can also see him making his Godzilla movie in that style instead.
Whatever he does though, it will be very unique to him. All the more reason why I'm way too excited over this movie.
