Are there any anime ships that you think are overrated and/or feel like it's shoved down your throat (whether by the anime or the rabid shippers)? Feel free to rant, just make sure it's not too nasty.
Inuyasha and Kikyo I don't think I've ever seen a more overrated, shoved-down-the-throat ship since Beast Boy and Terra. Rabid InuKik shippers go on and on about how much Inuyasha loves Kikyo and Kikyo loves Inuyasha that they seem to forget one thing--Inuyasha and Kikyo didn't trust each other to begin with. If they had, Naraku would not have been able to trick them into thinking the other had betrayed them. Also is that in all the flashbacks I've seen, there's nothing intimate and almost no touching (the spring special doesn't count, it's FC). When they were together, they were a good distance apart from each other. Otherwise, Inuyasha's just watching Kikyo from afar, which makes it look like a high school crush rather than real love. And that's all I'm going to say at this time. Sorry to all InuKik shippers on here, but I don't get the hype.

I have a theory about Inuyasha which completely destroys that ship But yeah, the ship is overrated mainly because of how they dragged it out as long as they have.

You can PM it to me if you want. The Inuyasha and Kikyo thing isn't dragged out, it's repeative. (That's one of the reasons I don't like it. Even if I didn't ship Inuyasha/Kagome, I'd still think that.) If I have to see the betrayal scene one more time, I'm going to bang my head aganist the wall.

My theory is that Kagome is not a reincarnation of Kikyo but rather a descendant of Inuyasha and Kikyo who both become humans at the end of the series when the sacred jewel is complete. This in turn makes the Inuyasha / Kagome relationship essentially Back to the Future style incest.
This theory isn't a random theory if you look at the series there are some subtle hints supporting it. For example notice how Kagome looks like a combination of both Kikyo and Inuyasha. She is essentially a Kikyo with Inuyasha style hair. It also explains why people keep mistaking Kagome for Kikyo and where Kagome gets her spiritual powers from. Also Kagome's family has been the keeper of the shrine near the bone eater's well for generations, the same shrine which Kikyo/Kaeda are both keepers of.
Back on topic I say any anime relationship who can have a conversation with just screaming out each others name for 10 minutes is a prime example of overrated Anime Ship (like Hiro and Relina from Gundam Wing)

Sakura/Naruto OTP LOL!!
I despise Sakura.
Naruto/Sasuke, Orochimaru/Sasuka, Inuyasha/Miroku, Sanji/Zoro I'm okay with some slash, but those are just pushin' it.
Oh, and Roy/Ed. It's just...ew.
