I really like that comparison - but I have to agree with Jmac on this one:

I really agree with this - Inaba obviously has feelings for Taichi, yet she's trying to bring Iori and Taichi closer together. Funny how she's always calling Taichi a "selfless freak" when it looks like she's also making sacrifices for other people. I agree that she's a bit hypocritical in this sense.
Nevertheless, Inaba's probably my favorite female character in the series (with Iori being a close second!)
And as for the focusing on Heartseed vs. focusing on the characters bit:
As much as I would love to see more interaction between the characters, I feel the whole dynamic of having Heartseed playing the mediator is also really important. It's too early to say whether there should be more or less emphasis on the characters, but so far I'm not at all bothered by his screentime. I mean, what, he only shows up every other episode?
Just my thoughts, looking forward to the next episode! The most recent episode (#6) seemed to me like it was setting up the stage for the next one, so it should be interesting!
