Beneath the Tangles and Few of the Many Ministry will host a panel at Anime Matsuri 2026 exploring biblical themes in anime like Frieren, Madoka Magica, and Jujutsu Kaisen. The panel, titled 'Biblical Themes in Anime,' takes place on Friday, July 24 at 5:30 p.m. It marks a return appearance for the cohosts, who presented a similar panel at the convention last year.

The session will discuss redemption, forgiveness, pride versus humility, mentorship, and perseverance as they appear in selected anime. The panel format includes audience participation, with time set aside for attendees to share their own examples. The event is free to convention attendees.
