Yeah, some 2deep4me shit that.
I think Gainax here are trying to convey how something as big as Gainax can always take a couple of steps back & re-evaluate themselves. The tomatoes symbolize simplicity & the farm symbolizes the wide world that can be explored by them.

Just to let you know, that is actually the main purpose why Gainax is founded. Yes, to make tomato farming, anime was just a first step to gain money and funding. So yeah, I am happy for them.

They're trying to attain the necessary knowledge for their new anime project all about agriculture and the stress put on a 14 year old kid being forced to inherit and run the farm. It's going to be about tomatoes and an identity crisis.
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives.

I've read a few chapters of that manga before and the whole pseudo-yandere character was not my cup of tea. And it hardly fits the description of what I was joking around about.

I'm pretty sure all he does is take care of a garden at his aunt's house, iirc.

Oh, I see. Yeah, I don't know much about that manga since I dropped it fairly early on.

In a few years, people will be saying they still don't understand what was going on during the ending days of Gainax. Too deep.

Welp, might as well go out with a bang.
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process.
Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers.
