Can't have contributions when the images likely aren't even under a license that would allow use like this. I guess it's better not to say where they are from and hope people don't notice...

The image of the girl lying on the floor is a screencap from the "Whisper of the Heart" movie. I doubt it's licensed. Various "lo-fi" YouTube channels used to do that as well, but got copyright strikes and changed to original artwork.

Studio Ghibli did release a lot of screenshots from many of their movies about 6 months ago¹, but this movie is not among those included.

> Dimitri chose the character of Shizuku Tsukishima from the Studio Ghibli film Whisper of the Heart as the face of the channel, with footage of her studying or writing used in the streams. When the popularity of the streams ultimately led to some getting taken down for copyright violations, Dimitri decided to maintain the Ghibli-esque aesthetic but with an original character and put out a call for artists.
