Macheneries of Empire is another one I feel would only work as anime, not just animated. A lot of things in that, like the description of Kujen's (literal) shadow as like a canvas of fluttering moths' wings (and a lot of other fashion-related descriptions), remind me a lot of Gankutsuou's visual effects.
