/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>Do you watch anime?
Yes, though not as much as I used to, and not the same things that I used to. I was really into magical girl anime especially, and still have a huge soft spot for it.

>Do you like "lolita-esque" anime or anime that has "lolita" characters on it?
My first anime was Chobits, which by now is pretty well known as every ita's first Milanoo cosplay dress source. If an anime 'lolita' pops up in a series I happen to be watching I tend to ignore it since they're so inaccurate, but the few times when a decent-looking one appears I'm always pleasantly surprised.

I'd actually really love an anime about Lolitas, especially a SOL.

>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 think I'm the same as >>9218017 on this one. I wouldn't know about Lolita if not for anime, at the very least. It's definitely an influence on what I wear normally, though. I particularly like cute skirts, especially full ones, and OTKs.

>Why do you think anime never gets lolita fashion right?
Pretty much what everyone else has said already; lack of research, etc. Slightly unrelated, but a huge pet peeve of mine is whenever one of these 'anime lolitas' or any character with a poofy skirt appears, nobody ever draws a petticoat underneath. The force keeping it where it is is probably the same one keeping all their crazy hairstyles static.
