About Shinji Higuchi
Shinji Higuchi directed Lorelei in 2005 about wartime sub plus Sinking of Japan in 2006 about quakes with SFX scale. Hidden Fortress in 2008 about samurai plus Attack on Titan in 2015 about walls set manga live highs.
Shin Godzilla in 2016 co with Anno about cabinet vs monster plus Shin Ultraman in 2022 about alien rules set Shin Japan peaks. Each film resets cast but keeps disaster meetings, so order tracks scale more than plot. The pace stays steady across entries, with each part adding new faces without losing the core tone.
Good to know
There is no shared story to reorder since films stand alone except Shin Japan links, but release order keeps effects best. Watch Shin Godzilla first for entry friendly meetings, then try Lorelei for roots. Treat the run as ongoing since Higuchi directs often, with Shin Ultraman as the current endpoint. Plan extra time for finales, since later parts assume full knowledge of earlier twists.
