    • I I agree with Beetletrix. You showed all of 4 lolitas, gave no actual information about what lolita is, and filled the rest of the video with cybers and angelers. Lolita is not based off anime at all, and it started way before people started to depict it in anime. Did you guys even google it first? Don't say that you're going to tell people about lolita when all you do is show a quick clip of girls saying you shouldn't dress in gothic style unless you're pretty. Not to mention with that one power rangers girl, you've half-way implied that lolita is inspired off Rita Repulsa.
      The wikipedia page has more TRUE information on what lolita is than you have in this video, and that's sad.

    • Honestly I feel like you've misrepresented the Lolita and Gothic sub styles. Most of what you showed was Japanese cyber rave which has nothing to do with goth. Anime has nothing to do with our inspiration for the Lolita clothing, It is more based off the Rococo and Victorian era, I don't mean to harshly criticize you're video but I feel videos like this add to the general misconception about the Gothic and Lolita sub styles . P.S. Takuya Angel falls under the Japanese Cyber Rave category .
