Somehow, they always choose the worst pictures for the characters.

I mean, which one would you choose instead ? Considering that they are choosen by mods, based on the overall quality (coloring, brightness, position, ...), and that Animes pictures are prioritized. Excluding the Manga ones, Iori's and Chisa's current picture are by far the best.

You can always create a thread here, explaining why you want the change, and which picture you want, and maybe a mods will agree with you.

@Alexioos95 I doubt they would change it then with a thread cause my reasonings aren't the quality its that it doesn't look like it's from the anime. Iori's photo looks AI generated while Chisa's just looks like a different anime studio made a photo. The actual quality is good just doesn't feel like the same character I understand that's not a valid reason to change the photos sadly. Thank you for explaining the reasons they pick the photos and how to request to change it I was unaware about that.

You can always try. Even if there is criterias, in the end, everything depends on what the mods themselves think (which is why there is some inconsistencies sometimes, or that the pictures may often changes).

Iori's picture is from an official spread made to promote the Anime. (https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/8y0i1n/grand_blue_spread/?rdt=51659) Same for Chisa's one (https://natalie.mu/comic/news/293982), which also was used as cover for Volume 1 of the Blu-rays. So it's not too weird for them to be of higher quality than screenshots from an animated footage.

Iori definitely is shown to be more handsome in that spread than in the episodes. For Chisa, however, i randomly started skimming through Episode 09, and she looks the exact same (well, her skin seems a very little bit lighter).

I don't understand why MAL prefers random screenshots over stylized manga art when thats literally the source material and how the characters are supposed to look like
