That isn't even a valid argument (shaking my head).

premise 1: everyone who watched she hulk contemplated whether life is all that.
Premise 2: people who watch anime do not complete whether life is all that.
conclusion: anime is all that.

First of all, premises one and two are unjustified/unsubstantiated. Especially because I watched she hulk and I in fact did not question whether life was all that, and watching one second of anime made me question whether life is all that.
Worse, the first premise is a universal statement and the second premise is a non-universal statement. Thus the first premise applies to all people who watched she hulk and the next applies to some (more than 2), making the conclusion invalid even if we assumed all premises are true because this could apply to any other show that exists including Ms. Marvel.
Thirdly, the conclusion is irrelevant to the resolution. The resolution is "THBT: On balance, anime is the best medium to watch TV shows," yet your conclusion is "anime is all that," which has no propositional relationship to the resolution.
