Hey there, /w/!
This may be old news to you guys, but I just discovered and shared this with /wg/ this a month or so ago, and I figured you guys might also find it neat! (Unless I am bobo the fool and everyone knew about this already.)
Did you know that Amazon has SECRET WALLPAPERS just lying around for all of your favorite shows, as long as they're available on Amazon Video? It's true! Those teeny tiny season thumbnails that they have on the episode listing of Amazon Video shows? Spoiler Alert: Most of them are just wallpapers! Just go to the season listing of a show on Amazon Video, use your Developer Tools or whatever to pull the resources for the page, and look for the URL of the season's thumbnail artwork. Should look like this:
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/817Y79iSnlL._RI_SX200_.jpg
What is this? A wallpaper for ANTS? 200×150?! This will hardly do! Here's the trick: Just delete "._RI_SX200_" at the end of that URL.
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/817Y79iSnlL.jpg
Whaaa?! I can't believe this! This is actually a 1600×1200 wallpaper hidden in PLAIN SIGHT! Seems like a waste to have the original resolution just lying around relatively inaccessible on Amazon.com like that, but still! Neat! The resolution does vary, though. Some come in an ultra-handy 1920×1080, and for whatever reason Bar Rescue has a mind-blowing 2560×1920 for the later seasons. Crazy, huh?
This trick is SUPER handy for anime seeing as most official anime sites can't be bothered to offer a "Downloads" section for wallpapers in this day in age, and finding high-resolution digital anime artwork that isn't just a scan is a hurdle in its own right. OH! Just a pro-tip! Using Amazon.com is fine and dandy for finding papes of anime that's been localized - but did you know that Amazon.co.jp offers Amazon Prime Video, too? It's true! So go hop on over there and download as many wallpapers you can! Nobody can stop you, you're the anime wallpaper man!
