The main problems I had with Kai is that Toei was too cheap to reanimate the series. I saw the a clip of the ova they did a few years ago and it looked gorgeous, I would have much rather seen that as a series than traced over animation stretched to HD. Plus the whole thing with the music plagiarism with the composer near the end just made the last few episodes of Kai a disaster. Kai was not a great treatment of the Dragonball franchise, the only worse treatment of Dragonball is Dragonball Evolution. At least with Bones and FMA Brotherhood, they re-animated content covered in the 2003 adaption and made a fantastic reboot (The new movie...why do you exist with your unflattering art and animation. Why couldn't you have just let Ed and Al live happily ever after instead of trying to make a quick buck), the only beef I have with Bones is that the produced FMAB in standard definition and converted it to HD. But back to your point, bleach filler is still pretty good.
