The Fukuoka District Court sentenced a 60-year-old Fukuoka man to 30 years in prison after killing his parents for disturbing his “anime time” as he hid their bodies in a refrigerator, an incident that will likely only further tarnish the reputation of anime otaku.
According to the indictment, Junji Matsumoto, the unemployed defendant from Nishi Ward, Fukuoka, killed his father, Hirokazu Matsumoto (88 years old), and his mother, Makie Matsumoto (87 years old), and then abandoned their bodies in a commercial refrigerator. He was charged with murder and abandonment of a corpse and was arrested June 2021.
The prosecutors requested life imprisonment, stating that murdering two people was on a completely different scale from the average issues stemming from nursing care fatigue and that there was no room for leniency. However, the defense argued that a fixed-term sentence of about 23 years was appropriate, as the defendant’s severe disability had an impact on the crime.
Matsumoto had been a hikikomori for 35 years, spending most of his time watching anime and reading manga without ever owning a mobile phone, and claims to have never touched the Internet.
On June 20th, 2021, the defendant’s father asked for assistance in the restroom, which resulted in explosive rage from his son, as he was in the middle of his “anime viewing” time, which was never to be disturbed. That night he strangled his father using the cable of an electric kettle.
While the defendant struggled to maintain a normal relationship with his father throughout most of his life, he always shared a good relationship with his mother but decided to kill her in the same way, to “keep her quiet,” before hiding their bodies in a commercial refrigerator in an attempt to cover up the murder.
A news report on the case:
So now the retard is never going to have anime time again.
the fact that he is still alive means they allow him to continue watching anime. So in a way, he is in a better place (as otherwise, there would have been added more info that he attacked others for disturbing his anime time)
Who knows maybe they have anime time in japanese prison.

Nice job, retard. Now you’ll never watch anime again. Fucking dummy. People who act on a whim like this make me sick. You’re fucking your life up for one single moment. How stupid is that?
That’s n♥♥♥♥r-tier behavior, alright.
dude n♥♥♥♥r’s lives get fucked the day they are born. What are you talking about?
Problem is that people not being normal is the norm now so nobody gets them mental help and s♥♥t like this happens. We got people that identify as a damn deer and eating grass.. Once upon a time they would be getting some mental help but anymore that is just the norm. So who would not expect these type of people to start going on a killing spree.
People who got mental help they determined if they were a threat to others and if so were held in a mental home getting care.. if they were not determined they needed to be incarcerated than they were provided medicine to help keep there lives in control..
Now it’s oh he thinks he is a deer how cute until he/she kills someone.
No, the problem is every time someone’s down bad, they get offshored to “get help” instead of friends being there for them and talking it out. We don’t TALK anymore, we don’t CARE anymore, yet our dumbasses act all surprised when people act out of line. You only care when you’re the one in danger, cold f♥♥k.
Agreed. They need to make psychological evaluation of every single person a priority. It won’t just help prevent crimes, some people that have underlying issues and resort to self-harm could also be assisted before it happens. But it won’t happen, because they care more about money than helping out troubled individuals.
I highly doubt that they never went to see a doctor together with him.
It’s more likely that the cost was just too astronomical, considering they couldn’t just sent him to a Mental Clinic, and instead decided to watch him in their high Age of 80+…
Sauce?
😜😜😜😜
60 years old living with parents?!
How?!
Japanese culture respects the elderly, unlike murica.
It’s called respect for those who took care of you until you reached adulthood.
USA at 60 imprisons its elderly in nursing homes!
Where they are treated badly more than criminals.
Of course you must be an example of a human being, socialism has already worked with you retard, who doesn’t even respect those who have a family..
Asian culture.
