Earlier quoted context omitted.

If you like that kind of thing I'll push Kaiba as a further-future look at a world where the ability to edit memories and change bodies makes personal identity much more nebulous. It's all emphasised with these amorphous visuals that are a great example of something that's only possible in the animated medium.

Sounds like Dollhouse, which was live actors.

You could tell the same story in live action but it would be pretty much impossible to get the same kind of visuals (even the A Scanner Darkly technique wouldn't be enough) - and it's the way the visuals dovetail with the world and the story that makes Kaiba so great.
