Discussion regarding the entirety of the franchise in a general (meta) sense, including such aspects as: production, trends, merchandise, fan culture, and more.

I always thought "Te quiero" directly translated as "I want you" and therefore meant - as an equivalent - "I love you" (the strongest thing you could say, likely only to your lover/love/husband/wife).
I had no idea you could casually say "Te quiero" to a friend! To me, it really meant "I love you", as in "I'm in love with you". I would have been in for a surprise if I had a friend out there who suddenly told me "Te quiero", just saying that he likes me as a friend while I would embarrassingly tell him that a love story between us couldn't happen!
"Te quiero" can be used in a lot of contexts: you can say it to friends, family or loved ones in general without it referring to being in love, but it also means "I love you" in the sense of "I'm in love with you".
As Black_Liger said, "Te amo" is a stronger version "Te quiero", and it's only used to mean "I'm in love with you". However, it sounds pretty unnatural to me: it's not something I would ever say. "Te quiero" is just fine
I REALLY hope the new director for Buu Kai and Super keeps the Son surname.

You've just made a new best friend.

"Well, the chapter was good, the story was good and so were the fights. But a new transformation, in Dragon Ball? And one that's ugly? This is where we draw the line!!! Jump the Shark moment!!"
This forum is so over-dramatic that it's not even funny.

This reminds me of when Sean Schemmel added "Son Goku" to one of his takes of the "I am the Super Saiyan,(Son) Goku!" for the fans, and they ended up keeping that one.
Did that get any backlash a few years ago? I can't remember.
I personally don't see the problem of addressing Goku's full name, even if it doesn't come up much. It really shouldn't be something worth complaining about.

Not....quite. I personally didn't see any complaints about the inclusion of the word "Son," but I did see a lot of comments saying that the new "I Am" speech itself was "stupid" compared to the "epic" "Hope of the Universe" speech. Suffice to say, that's not an opinion I share.
