>Do you watch anime?
Not really. I have a few that I like but I wouldn't call myself an anime fan.
>Do you like "lolita-esque" anime or anime that has "lolita" characters on it?
I like a lot of Ai Yazawa's manga but not really because they have jfashion influences.
>Did anime or manga influence you at any point as a lolita? (example: wanting to look like Miwako or taking influences from Magical Girls)
I did like manga and anime more when I first got into lolita but I don't think it really influenced me actually wearing the fashion. Since I only got enough courage 6 years after first being exposed to it to actually wear it and in that time my interest in manga and anime has shifted to basically zero I would say I take no inspiration at all from it anymore.
>Why do you think anime never gets lolita fashion right?
First of all getting lolita fashion correct does require fairly intricate knowledge about the fashion. Even a year after I was first exposed to the fashion, looking through livejournal, GLBs, and the AP/Baby website I still drew the most ita shit ever.

Also animating the intricate details in lolita is hard it's a lot easier to simplify (and in this process make ita) a design to animate or constantly redraw it.


Also some old shit manga I liked back in like 2006 for the nostalgia.
