Yes DBZ kai is a pile of shit. I've never watched Dragonball except for a few clips on youtube and i've gotta say it looks mega boring compared to DBZ.

I used to love DBZ back in the day. Same with the original Dragon Ball series.
Unrelated: I heard that DBZ Kai sucks dick.
I wouldn't say it sucks. Dragon Ball Z kai stays pretty close to the manga than Z does. My only problem with Kai is that they should've used new animation instead of the old Z footage. But Toei is too cheap to do that.

If anything, Z is more boring than Dragon Ball. Considering that Z has more fillers that is.
Announced this past June, a special three-chapter spin-off manga titled Episode of Bardock was published in the August, September, and October issues of Japanese gaming magazine V-Jump. Written an illustrated by Naho Ooishi (also currently responsible for DragonBall SD as published in Saikyô Jump), with supervision by Akira Toriyama, the story was part of a larger marketing blitz to introduce a new Super Saiyan transformation for Bardock and his inclusion in the DragonBall Heroes arcade game, as well as a re-release of the TV special he debuted in (the first time the special ever received its own individual-disc release in Japan, coupled with the Trunks TV special).
An anime adaptation was just announced this week via the latest issue of V-Jump. It was not specified whether the adaptation is meant for TV or home media release, but the recent announcement of the Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans streaming notes that an advance screening of this new Bardock-focused anime will be available at Jump Festa next month, scheduled for December 17th and 18th.

Preliminary (though unsourced) 2chan rumors are pegging the new anime for an April 2012 TV broadcast. The rumors also note Masako Nozawa returning as the voice of Bardock, and Ryûsei Nakao (Tambourine, Freeza) somewhat returning for the role of Chilled, previously voicing the character in-game for DragonBall Heroes. Interestingly, the post also already lists the role of Beri going to Aki Toyosaki.
The new anime is attributed to the "Dragon Ball Force Project", also alongside (what may be a prior or working code name for one or more of the projects) the title "Saikyo Super Saiyan Secret Project".
