Members of Shepherd's Community United Methodist Church in Lakeland, Florida, experienced media, discussion, self-examination, and experimentation to develop empathy for anime fans (otaku) who are part of the disenfranchised generation of youth and young adults that feel unwelcome in the Christian community. The intervention aimed to inspire Christians to reclaim otaku for the Gospel. Research was accomplished through qualitative mixed methodologies including: surveys, interviews, observations, and group activities. The resulting data suggest that participants gained understanding of the anime culture and the importance of inviting Otaku to spiritual conversation, even though it did not increase empathy in all participants.
