>Do you watch anime?
Yea I'm a huge weeb and I keep up with currently airing stuff every season so I've watched a lot
>Do you like "lolita-esque" anime or anime that has "lolita" characters on it?
I really like anime like Gosick or Rozen Maiden that have that aren't quite going for lolita but have that Victorian-ish theme to them.
>Did anime or manga influence you at any point as a lolita? (example: wanting to look like Miwako or taking influences from Magical Girls)
Definitely when I first started out. I was a huge weeb and I thought lolita dresses we're kind of on the same tier as maid dresses where they we're anime-like costumes so of course I was like "oh yea i totally wanna dress in this cute lolita dress like Chii wears!!" I cringe whenever I think about it.
>Why do you think anime never gets lolita fashion right?
Like the other anons said they don't put in the research. Most anime "lolitas" seemed to have an old school theme to their outfits and it really just looks like they've been building off of that instead of doing research into how the fashion looks now.
