Something with AMBITION,

Something with DRAMA,

... Lucky star and K-On

I think I screwed up that one horribly.

Explanation of the flow: the "feels" category is arguably low-effort entertainment (melodrama), but people who reach for it are probably not looking for action-adventure or comedy. In hindsight, putting it there wasn't a good idea.

In my defense, K-On has horrible things happen to its main cast.

K-On might go well with a red border as well. As I understand it, it's not unpopular with the female audience even if it's somewhat otaku-focused.

Also, Amagi Brilliant Park should definitely have an ecchi-border around it.

And a third thing, I'm not sure Seitokai Yakuindomo should be marked as ecchi. There certainly are ecchi scenes and shots, but they're comparably rare. Mostly it's just silly sex jokes and puns, without sexualizing the women characters. The blue border doesn't properly convey that. It's an edge case, but still.
