I personally love Kikyo because she couldn't be more human. People like to judge her and say she's crazy and selfish but you have to put yourself in her position. How would you feel if you were murdered supposedly by the hands of your lover when you were a teenager and fifty years later an evil demon resurrected you with black magic and you found your former lover with your reincarnation who is now his girlfriend? Kikyo wants two things: She wants to live and she wants Inuyasha to love her. Unfortunately she goes to whatever means necessary to obtain these two things, but I don't blame her one bit. Still, I'm glad she softened as the show and manga went on and I cried every time that she died while I'm sure most people were cheering.
I love her because she was a woman that sacrificed her life to be a priestess and be able to protect people. She carried the burden of jewel of four souls without complaint. She´s kind and generous, she loves children and children love her. She is powerful, strong, independent, courageous and lonely. And she can kick ass when she wanted too! She bears her burdens on her own, defends herself and doesn't like to involve others in her problems, which indicates maturity, independence and strength.
I don't understand why there are people that hate Kikyo! If it wast for her, Kagome wouldn't have a soul! Kikyo is the best! Her sad moments made me cry a lot...
What made me respect her more than that self-centered brat Kagome is that she showed consideration over Kagome's feelings at Mt. Hakurei when Inuyasha offerred that she accompanies them from now on - before giving him her reply she checked to see Kagome's reaction to that and immediately refused when it appeared that she hated the idea of her tagging along with them.
There are many, many other things to love about her
As For Kagome, I dunno, it's as if she has this negative vibe that makes me dislike her. I tried hard to like her, I tried to justify her every characteristic that makes her so unlikable. It was much harder to do seeing how overrated she was. So I gave up, it was just impossible for me to start liking her. I don't HATE her, I just dislike her... Very much. Of course, one of the main reasons is because she's one of those Mary-Sue characters, and I just can't like a Mary-Sue character, they're just automatically unlikable.
I know she has a nice heart, but one nice heart doesn't make a character likable. Kikyo had a nice (a PURE) heart, but everyone seems to dislike her. No, wait... hate her. No no... loathe her. Yes, loathe (And that's just extreme... o_0).
To be very honest, after seeing a good amount of episodes of the series, I began to get annoyed at Kagome. She's so immature and doesn't understand Inuyasha's feelings and is so abusive towards him. She abuses the power of the beads around Inuyasha's neck and I feel sorry for him. The way she always screams out Inuyasha! is very annoying too. She also isn't nice to Hojo after all the things he did for her and I feel sorry for him. She's just generally annoying. All she's good at is sensing the jewel shard. Also she can't mind her own busyness! Whenever Inuyasha goes to Kikyo she gets all emotional and upset! As if she has to give him permission to do that... Then she'll run home some where, probably because she wants Inuyasha to chase after her.
I much prefer Kikyo over her considering that Kikyo for one isn't selfish like Kagome with her love, treats Inuyasha with respect and not pity, and doesn't flirt off with other guys, and is generally more nicer and badass!
