You do realize that the dub is responsible for Elie's lines, right? I don't think it's fair to call the character unlikeable just because she's been given stupid lines just like everyone else in this show.
Rewatching these episodes reinforce what I've always thought of this dub. It's not that the voices, music, or even the show are bad. It just suffers from a really, really lousy script. But even now I find it hilarious in a "so bad it's good" kinda way.
Oh, and Elie=hotter than Orihime.
