Also to know, what episode does Asuka appear?
Asuka is first introduced into the series in episode 8; with the arrival of Eva Unit 02 and Asuka and Shinji's battle with the Angel Gaghiel, Asuka is shown as maintaining a high synchronization ratio and exceptional skills as an Eva pilot, being very aggressive and confident in battle.
Should I watch the end of Evangelion?
In my opinion, you should watch the series (Ep. 1-26), then watch End of Evangelion. If you want to watch NGE:Death and Rebirth, you can, but you don't have to. After EoE is done, watch Evangelion 1.0, 2.0, and then 3.0, which retells the story of Evangelion but adds new plot starting in the second film.
