Thanks for recommending me exactly what I said I'm not interested in.

It seems like something I could try watching to see if it's bearable
Would still like more recommendations, ofcourse.

He thinks he's being funny.
It would be much easier to recommend something if you told us what you have watched already(unless those that you listed previously are all you did). But, I could always recommend those popular anime such as Madoka Magica, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Steins; Gate, Fate/Zero, Akira, Hellsing Ultimate, Code Geass, Welcome to NHK
I did... Those were examples of what I really liked. If you haven't seen them I really think you should.
Madoka Magica, Fate/Zero, Hellsing, Code Geass and Welcome to the NHK are all animé that fall into the categories I don't like. All of them are aimed towards teenage boys. And yes I know Hellsing is violent and dark.
Never really got into NGE.
Akira, amazing movie, seen it several times.
I'd like something clever, with characters that aren't extremely predictable, shallow and horrendously cliché like in most Shounen animé.
Asking for something like this is just pointless. Everyone has different tastes, so asking for something that is "clever" or "not shallow" is going to bring a variety of different things, most of which you probably won't like. While one person might like something like Steins;Gate because they think it's suspenseful and unique, chances are, there is someone out there who thinks it is extremely predictable and horrendously cliche.
But Digg is always hilarious.
Fate/Zero, Madoka, Code Geass, and NHK are probably four of the top anime that are the exact opposite of "cliché shounen". The demographic, at least for Madoka, Fate/Zero, and NHK are not aimed towards teenage boys at all. Many of them have far more mature themes than most anime out there.
You couldn't find four shows more opposite.
Obviously.
Death Note 11/10.
I can't even rate it 11/10 on MAL.
oh wait i dropped it it was so bad
Pretty much.
I'd put Steins;Gate in less mature more shounen than any of the others, and Steins;Gate doesn't even fall into the category.
If you want shounen go watch naruto, one piece, bleach, sword art online, death note, gits, or any other crappy shows like those.
I didn't capitalize them for a reason, they all suck that much.
Some pre-order sales info.
The chart is read like this: Current Rank, Rank One Hour Ago, and Speculated amount of preorders. IE:
**,9位/,9位 ★ (***,510 pt) Shingeki no Kyojin [Blu-ray]
Shingeki no Kyojin is ranked #9, Was ranked #9 an hour ago, and has 510 points.
Generally, more points=more sales, but the shows with higher ranks are more likely to pick up points as time goes on.

dont really like how the personality of Tohka on Date of Live. Feels waaay to forced and childish for a serious looking person. Would have loved a serious Tohka only. Oh well i guess its good enough
Gargantia was a lot of fun. I liked the second half much better than the first, I have such a hard time watching the action when there's so much talking about formations and weapons and other complicated terminology. Really looking forward to where it goes from now, though.
Shingeki no Kyojin was also great aside from MC voice, which I hope I can get used to. He's a bit better in this one, at least.
I disagree with the way you're categorizing those shows. Aside from maybe Madoka they have a very wide appeal amongst anime fans, and definitely aren't shounen.
But ignoring that, Spice and Wolf fits your requirements quite well if you haven't seen it yet. A little slow, but it's one of my favorites. Haibane Renmei is also fantastic, albeit a bit slow. Shin Sekai Yori is another one if you want something a bit darker, but has an excellent story and premise.
