>Do you watch anime?
Not as much as I used to. I'm pretty picky with series. I usually go for magical girl stuff if I feel like getting invested or slice-of-life comedy if not.

>Do you like "lolita-esque" anime or anime that has "lolita" characters on it?

Only if the story is good, otherwise, I don't care.

>Did anime or manga influence you at any point as a lolita? (example: wanting to look like Miwako or taking influences from Magical Girls)

Not really. I liked frilly, poofy clothes seen in places like Chobits, but I didn't get into lolita through anime.

>Why do you think anime never gets lolita fashion right?

Artists/writers don't really care enough to research what's lolita and up to date; I think part of it has to do with what elements seems iconic. You think they would care since there are first hand resources. Most characters who wear something remotely frilly tend to be side characters or they'd wear "lolita" for a few episodes because it's part of the driving story.
