Jeah Also sure anime might have some more moments, for example the famous ice skating "date"(?) Between rukia and ichigo and sure it's cute but I don't think animators really thought it that much 🤔 like "pushing agenda" like they claim.

The anime also had some ichihime moments, like when Orihime went to his house, and Isshin called her his 4th daughter. But people tend not to bring up because it is not useful for the "agenda talk" and it not as iconic as the Ichiruki fillers

Also Ichihime might be my NOTP, but I honestly don't care or mind if people wanna ship it. Some of my friends do. It's just that the worst fans flood IR arts and tweets and yell at us for shipping IR, and claim their ship is better cuz it's canon... It honestly makes me despise the ship more.
