I'd probably like him more if he weren't so serious all the time; if he were more like, say Goku, but not as goofy, and had more confidence in himself during battle. Also having more of a reason to fight other than just 'I wanna protect my friends and family'.

I liked him most right after his Bankai training; he knew what he had to do, didn't hesitate, stuck it to the man, owned three lieutenants like a boss, and fought Byakuya calmly as opposed to 'oh sh*t, wth do I do now'... mostly. Then when the Arrancar arrive in KT, he just stands there like an idiot going, 'Sh*t! A Zanpakuto!! Are they like Shinji and me... uh, uh, uhhhhh....' And from thereafter, always second guesses himself, goes in headstrong without achieving anything, etc.

After he gains his true Zanpakuto, he's less like that for a while, but as soon as he sees Uryu (not) turned traitor, he's back to his old self again. *Sigh* ah well, them's the breaks.
