There's a Japanese artist named Minchiri who makes amazing realistic anime backgrounds! They have a website and a fanbox. You can use them for personal and commercial use, and I recommend you credit them so others will find them. I've been using them a lot for CGs and just non canon scenarios of the students. I wish I can use more of Min's backgrounds, but I have to pay ¥100 ($0.64). And I don't got that. I'll get it eventually... Idk when...

You can also find backgrounds on itch.io, but always check if they are made using AI. I remember finding a good background, and I commented on the creator saying it looked great and that I'll use it. I then looked at the information and found out that it was AI generated... I won't link the creator.

Other sites you can find are Pinterest, Lemma Soft Forums, and I highly recommend you find the original artist to make sure it is free and safe to use...

There are other sites where you can find backgrounds, but I'm just recommending a few.
