I don't remember if it counts as Shonen but battle anime that I liked that aren't that mainstream would be Akame ga Kill and Soul Eater out of the top of my head

I don't really like sports anime because I find the sport tends to take a backseat to the character drama. And as a sports fan, the appeal is sort of the unknown/unpredictability of it, but that doesn't really work for a story. Haikyuu is very good, because that more than any other sports anime I've seen really plays attention to the sport, while also telling a good story.
 
Well my statement wasn't to say literally all shonen is bad. That would be silly. Battle shonen tends to be pretty mediocre, in my view. The cast, especially the female leads, tend to get treated terribly aside from being generally poorly written, and the endings never seem to be very satisfying, because they're written in a way to just keep on going rather than having a clearly defined start/middle/end. That's not to say you can't enjoy them either, there is plenty of shows I've enjoyed. Hell, I've read through all of Bleach, Naruto, Fairy Tail... and for the most part, enjoyed them (Bleach is really quite bad though, was mostly hate reading by the end).

The problem is, and this applies to many fields so it's not a unique issue, these series tend to be what get latched onto and hyped up. And that's the objection we're taking.
You want a battle shounen with amazing females?

clannad after story is the most depressing shit i've ever watched, an absolute masterpiece
unlike angel beats and charlotte, of course, which are mid af
it was sadder than those two although I liked Angel Beats more than Charlotte.

Most saddest anime I've ever watched were Clannad, Your Lie in April and World End/SukaSuka.

Made me sad for days lol
