I've been thinking, if the teamwork aspects of World Trigger are as good as I've heard and the story is at least serviceable then I'll probably end up liking it. Although battle shounen tends to emphasize stuff like the importance of friendship and teamwork, it seems like in the actual battles that rarely plays out as a factor that feels both important and genuine. The strength of certain characters tends to inflate their importance and overshadow that of weaker characters even if the weaker ones are technically contributing in some way.

Mahou shoujo doesn't tend to have that issue based on what I've seen so far. Although its not necessarily as emphasized against most monsters of the week (which are somewhat analogous to riff-raff opponents in battle shounen), whenever there's a team battle against a major antagonist or a group of major antagonists it really feels like a team effort, even when one member of the protagonist's team is stronger/weaker than the others in their team. It gives those fights an additional layer of satisfaction on top of whatever other merits they may have (such as good choreography, animation, cinematography, etc.) that battle shounen fights often do not have.
