I'm very hesitant toward adding something like this since it's a quite large download that people will use just because "they can" (aka even if not needed).
Imagine, if each anime has a 50kb image it'd be a 80mb download. We might not be there today but I'm certain we'll be at that point in a year especially with how people make jpeg images that are twice the size needed (and still subpar in quality!).

If you want a true example check Sakura Taisens image, 100kb for 200x284 jpeg. I'll update it with a 30kb image that looks exactly the same to the naked eye later.
