It still confuses me a lot how people really thought, that Ichihime wouldn't be endgame. Orihime's feelings were shown at a very early stage of the story and later developed into real love. Just the scene of her saying goodbye to Ichigo when she was allowed to do so to only one person and she really chose him over Tatsuki. And Kubo never forgot to remind us throughout the whole story that she genuinely loved him, that even when brainwashed her feelings wouldn't go away. But also the way how Ichigo acted towards her were such obvious signs to me that Kubo would never throw away all those hints at the end of the story. And still the fandom was such a mess back then. I'm happy that the outcome was so satisfying. :)
