Does everyone else really think Kikyo is better for Inuyasha at this point?
If she hadn't been killed, then, yeah, she'd be perfect for him, but she died. Kagome and Inuyasha are cute together and she's good for him. Kikyo isn't healthy for him at all right now. (In my opinion anyway. I'm definitely open for argument--in fact, I love arguing.)
I mostly think the Kikyou vs. Kagome arguments are just plain silly, but I tend to agree that Kikyou is no longer the healthy choice for Inuyasha, and I like Kagome and her relationship with Inuyasha.

I'll admit, Kagome getting kidnapped all the time annoyed me, but once she started fighting, she grew on me.
I've only watched seasons one and two and the first few of three (I have four seasons) It made me so sad when Kagome knew that Inuyasha was going to choose Kikyo. I kept screaming "GO FIND KOGA!" That would remind Inuyasha who he likes.... But I don't think Kagome is that vindictive.
You proably are. I don't like her. She never does anything. She constanly gets captured,always calling InuYasha name,and when she does fight its not all that great seeing as she fires off a arrow Seriously,after the first time you get captured most people try NOT to get captured again. I use to like her but than she became a real pain in the ass like Sakura from Naruto. I would like for Inuyasha and Kikyou to be together seeing thats his first love and all but she's dead.

No,there's other ppl that like her too. I'm a fan of her.
shareI like Kagome better mostly because in my opinion she's much nicer than Kikyo and i think she fits better with Inuyasha. And Kikyo died so yeah.
shareI like both of them. Kagome is nice but at times she can get loud. hehe Sometimes, it adds to her charm. I think the whole "Sit!" stuff was funny.
Perhaps people like Kikyo not just because she was his first love. But, also she is more mature and calm.
And, appears more confident than Kagome. But, as others have said. She is dead.
Nope.

Aw, crap. I wish Kagome would start fighting again. She's going back to being wimpy. :(( I like her, but... she's got to do something besides get protected by the others. lol.
shareWhat's so wrong about not being the only Kagome fan?

Nothing. lol. I like that there are other fans. I wish there were more. :)
I said "crap" about the fact that---in the episode I just watched---Kagome's back to being the weakest link. :(
Ohh, okay.

Definitely not. I think there are actually more Kagome supporters than Kikyo ones. I think the writers try to make it so that viewers get more attached to Kagome (i.e. being the modern teenager that the targeted audience can relate to, staying loyal to her friends and Inu Yasha, gradually restoring Inu Yasha's lack of faith in people, etc). As for me, I'm more supportive of Kagome and Inu Yasha's relationship, but I still admire Kikyo as a character.
I just don't get how people can hate Kagome and manage to watch the show--if you hate Kagome, you might as well hate the show too, because she makes up an important part of it. You can't get past at least 98% of the episodes without having to deal with her as a main character. You just can't. And most of the arguments that Kagome haters assert are just plain ridiculous, like how short her skirt is, or that she doesn't help in battles, or that she's constantly getting kidnapped, either because they aren't true or that they're things that are completely out of her control. Oh, and also because she's um, fictional. =]
Well, there's my two cents on the argument. Hate her or love her, Kagome's still a huge part of the show, and you'll just have to deal with her.
I love Kagome, though the general opinion seems to be that male fans like her and female fans don't.
I like her because not only is she one of the most beautiful anime characters I've ever seen, but she's a tough fighter too - and she puts her magical abilities to good use. Not to mention she gets plenty of bathing scenes, which are always fun to watch (though they're better in the manga.)
So no, you're NOT the only Kagome fan. Far from it, in fact.
In response to anyone who calls Kagome wimpy and/or useless...what about the time early on in the series where Kagome personally slays Yura of the demon hair? Kagome killed a demon herself and saved InuYasha in one move. And there have been a number of other times where Kagome has pulled her own weight.
I love moments like the ones in the episodes "Shippo Gets An Angry Challenge" and "Only You, Sango" (both from season 3) where we see Kagome show a really cute side of her personality.
Female fans don't like Kagome? Why? She never acts silly or ditzy, she's actually courageous intelligent and caring, and like I said, she does provide vital help numerous times throughout the series. She never dresses up in skimpy outfits or dance around naked for little or no reason. So my question for female fans of InuYasha is: what's not to like about Kagome?
And of course I think Kagome's a better match for InuYasha than Kikyo. Not because Kagome's still alive and Kikyo's undead, but because even after Kikyo found out it was Naraku who did in both her and InuYasha, she STILL tried to kill InuYasha. Later she steals some jewel shards that Kagome got and gives them to Naraku, this being AFTER she's learned about Naraku having tricked her and InuYasha, leading to their downfall. Honestly I think InuYasha and his friends would all be better off if Kikyo were laid to rest again.
I played the video game INUYASHA: SECRET OF THE CURSED MASK and spent all of my days off with Kagome.
Also I love her voice actor, Moneca Stori.

I'm female and I like Kagome a lot.
"We killed each other. It really promotes togetherness."
I am a girl and I do like Kagome. She does act ridiculous at times (like being mad that InuYasha still feels upset over Kikyo- wake up, Kagome! To him it still feels like yesterday, not like 50 years have gone by). But I prefer Kagome much over Kikyo. Kikyo acts very selfish at times. You feel bad for her after she'd been killed but her actions are simply petty. She still treats InuYasha badly after knowing the whole setup was organized by Naraku. She treats Kagome badly for her own selfish gain. She does things to hurt InuYasha and the group unnecessarily. There are times when she helps, but honestly she annoys me FAR more than Kagome.
"Everything I do, I do it for you."
People say Kagome is weak. How can she be weak? She has magical arrows. She has saved the group more than once with her arrows. She has even wounded Naraku on occasions and he would have to go hide so he could heal up. How about in the time in one the final episodes, she was able to break Naraku's barrier new he has around him that he got from being sealed up in that mountain. Also how can you not like the outfit she wears. I think all men fantasize about asian women in skimpy outfits. Hell yeah.
shareI disagree. The show is called Inuyasha, not Kagome. I agree that Kagome is an important part of the story, but so are the other supporting characters--antagonists included--that make up the series as a whole. Point being, you don't have to be a fan of the leading female character to be a fan of the show. You can like other things about the show, even if you think Kagome is an overwhelming 110% cliche, and that Inuyasha and Kagome are pretty much forced together as a couple to further sell the story.
Beyond catering to fan service, story wise, I honestly didn't feel that Inuyasha and Kagome had believable circumstances that could lead to a believable romantic relationship. I also felt the same about Miroku and Sango since I honestly didn't feel these two had anything else in common beyond having the same friends and having their lives destroyed by Naraku. With that being said, I do find it amusing when people try to argue the logic behind the Kikyou/Inuyasha/Kagome triangle, because there is no logic to it. Consistent with every other Rumiko Takahashi story ever written, she clearly intended for Inuyasha and Kagome to be the leading couple, with Kikyou and Kouga serving as rivals for these characters. She does this with every story that she writes, so this really isn't a new concept.
Over all, Inuyasha is supposed to be a fun series to watch that has a little bit of everything from action adventure, romance, sci-fi, and comedy. It also has a large and diverse cast of characters to add more pep to the story, and I felt that all of these elements combined is what made Inuyasha a great series to watch. The fact that the show is nonsensical also makes it that much more fun to watch. I very much doubt that Kagome being the next best thing in Inuyasha's life since Kikyou was the reason for the show's success. At least this isn't true for everyone who watched the series.
i love manga kagome. she seems stronger, more mature, more level-headed. but anime kagome can get annoying.
inukag forever, i mean come on, they're the main couple. inukiks was good while it lasted.

I agree with you. I think it's kind of sick that Inuyasha still pines for Kikyo when she's tried to kill him on several occasions. At least the moments when Kagome tried to she was under some sort of spell or possession. Kagome has also tried to do what she can to encourage Inuyasha while Kikyo burdens him with events past.
