I feel like JAQK would be a perfect candidate - it was a lot like Amazon in that it was a bit too grim for kids, hence it's rather obscure status. Surely, if it wasn't part of the Sentai Family Tree, it would be as forgotten as Red Tiger or Space Warriors.

I nominated JAKQ for the Amazons treatment back when the show premiered. I love what I've seen of JAKQ (not much, as only a handful of eps have been subbed), and its tone screams "Sentai for grown ups" in the exact same way the original Amazon did for Kamen Rider.

I know we're in a cultural moment where we're all screaming "light & bright" when it comes to super heroes, but damned if I wouldn't kill for a darker, more grown up take on Sentai. Maybe one day...
