Doubt that you will get VACd, more likely just kicked from official servers for having different files.

i really want to change my background in cs to an anime one like my profile but i'm afraid it would give me a ban or smth
You wont get banned for that. There are alot of Tutorials on Youtube and also a Guide here on the Forum

It depends on how do you change it. I do use a custom panorama video (the background is a video) but I changed manually by creating a video of the same format, same time spam, and then I just rename the files. It's easy to do.

If you download some software to do it for you, then you may be banned since you are using an external program to temper CS:GO's file. My suggestion to you is to do manually. Go to the folder where the panorama video is, look at the format, name, and duration of the videos. Create your own video with the same format and time, and then just rename it and substitute it. In-game, you can select your panorama video by selecting the name of the map you chose.

This is NOT how VAC Shield works.
VAC Shield doesn't scan video format files, only .dll and .exe extensions.

You probably won't get banned but you should. Go outside.

you wont get banned. contrary to popular belief, altering game files CAN NOT result in a VAC ban, only hooking into the game to read or write memory does. The max that will happen with altered game files is getting kicked from sv_pure enabled servers (aka all Valve servers) for having mismatched signatures for your files, however even that doesn't happen with custom menu backgrounds

Completely wrong. If you download a hack, install it, run CS:GO and then close without joining a match, you'll be banned.

Thats not correct afaik.

it bans when an account connects to a vac secured server from a computer that has known cheats on it. you dont have to be actively using them, they dont have to give an advantage (skin changer, etc), they dont have to work, they just have to be detected. So you can't get banned if you don't join a VAC Secured Server.

First I think if you would change anything including changing the game files you won't be able to play on official servers because if you run into the match you will be disconnected after 1 minute, second after some time you may be banned due to replacing the game files which I'm not sure but, do it at your own risk!
As stated before changing the Background Panorama in the Game does not cause any Problems stop giving false answers...
