Err no I was responding to the OP question, "What is Evangelion about to you, in a single word?", I already got your joke!
And it's the AAA Wunder, the name is in German.

Kensuke is a military otaku who, at one point, is shown creepily taking pictures of girls to sell. He would clearly fit right in as an animator at Studio Gainax. -- Compiling_Autumn
EoTV is a therapist, EoE is a drill instructor. -- Chuckman
Seriously, that is the most fananked theory I've ever heard, more than Mari being Marty McFly travelling through time to keep her parents (Asushin) together. -- Jäeger

Acceptance.
For Shinji, "Is it ok to be myself and have the others like me for who I am?" "Or does the whole world hate me?"
For Asuka: "Is it ok for me to show my true feelings to people without having to put up a front and be tough?" "Or is ok to be a little sensitive and show other emotions besides anger?"

Beautifully put I think this is how I feel as well.

Oh!, Oh!, let me tryyyy~!
If I was to condense Evangelion in a single word (which is a certainly difficult task), it would certainly be weakness!
Weakness is the drive behind every thing that happens in Evangelion. Gendo is too weak to get over Yui's death, Shinji and Asuka are too weak to withstand the cross they are doomed to carry and end up breaking down; even Misato, Ritsuko and Kaji have overwhelming weaknesses that wear them down and eventually take vast tolls on them.
And don't forget Seele. Their intention is to achieve a new stage on human evolution in the form of some sort of happy mind hive (from what I understood), which is but a way to surpass the weakness that haunts every human's heart.
Evangelion is a story of man against everything that he hates, hides and haunts him. Weakness.

It's about love.
It's about how love makes you weak, and love makes you strong. How love scars, and love is the only thing that can heal. How love is the worst thing in the world, and you can't live without it. How every love story is a tragedy, but it's better to live a tragedy that die in a farce.

the prophecy is true

I agree with this.

So, Evangelion is really just a love story?
Resignation
Because the tragedy is, that you will die in a farce anyway and unless you are someone exceptional, you are really powerless to change it and can only resign yourself to unavoidable.

Another jaded man.
Wciąż stoję nieruchomo, w nieżywym już szeregu. Umieram na stojąco, niech inni giną w biegu.
