In a lot of anime I have watched, they have some sort of still image that is displayed directly after the OP. Whenever that image is displayed, somebody always says a few words in the background, but they are NEVER subbed.

The last word they always say sounds like "O Cristdmas", and I was wondering if anyone knows what it means.

EDIT: I meant to put this in general discussion, sorry.

The message is just "sponsored by *name of group.*" If you don't live in Japan, do you really need to know?

No, but I hear it so often that I was extremely curious as to what it meant.

I always thought it was saying Merry Christmas, I was all like why are they so obsessed with Christmas. Just figured it was a weird Japanese thing.

when characters go, "ehhhh" it is sometimes not subbed. kind of obvious what the character is trying to say with that phrase though.

I've seen this on AnoHana, always thought it was probably just saying that the opening track was being released around Christmas lol.

I had no problems figuring it out when I first saw a sponsor screen, I mean, they show the company names on the screen. When I saw McDonald's on the screen, along with some other random brands, I assumed they were just talking about sponsors.

The "Goran no suponsaa" part kind of gave it away.

alot of them sponsors have nothing to do with the anime at hand or anime in the wider sense

Some fansub groups do subtitle those lines, though I can't recall any at the moment.

Every time I read this thread (and I read it a lot) this post makes me laugh hysterically. I actually thought the same thing too, originally.

It always sounded like "O' Christdmas" to me.

Made me think of Christmas, but didn't sound like "Merry Christmas"
