Maybe it's about time we consider a file purge. Sort out the images in the galleries that seem to be there just to be there or don't serve a purpose that another file does better. Insofar as cropped (illustration) files go, I think they're usually made with the intention of emphasizing an appearance. Like with the first set of cropped vs. original images WEEAB posted, the cropped image is there to illustrate Kaneki in his battle suit, but he on his main page and I think it's better. What the colored one has going for it is just that - it's colored, but that doesn't mean much here. It can potentially be deleted.

And I just realized that there's a.

I think cropped illustrations just sitting in galleries can go because the Appearance sections and character info boxes already exist to express appearance.

If we feel that we must keep duplicate illustrations/covers because they come from different sources (volume, magazine, zakki) then they all should be placed in the gallery for consistency I think. Oh, and before I forget, this should probably extend to novel images we use as chapter covers too. If I recall right, some of the chapters were published in magazines to promote the volumes which is why some images look like. I think Different Kind was one of those magazine published chapters so we're using a magazine "chapter cover" variant (sort of).
