ですか、Do you like anime? without using any particles. If you add て, the new ones here could be like、speaking of which, or、by the way, or do you happen to like anime? sort of kind of nuances. And this way of using て is similar to、わ、 as in、アニメは好きですか、Do you like anime? We tend to use は in a slightly more formal situation, like when you are interviewing somebody, you might ask、アニメは好きですか、to signal that, oh, this is the main interview question. Or if it's a written survey, you'd use は because て is inherently a colloquial particle. We only use it when you speak Japanese, when you are talking to somebody. And I'll give you another example of asking for directions. Let's say you want to go to Shibuya Ichimaruqiu or one online to buy some giraffe clothes, but you don't know where Ichimaruqiu is because you don't know how to just look up. You can go up to somebody and ask、すいません、Ichimaruqiu ではかります
