AnimeStream Inc. Launches Official GIPHY Profile for New Shonen Series

TOKYO, Japan — April 3, 2025 — AnimeStream Inc., a leading distributor of anime content, today announced the launch of its official GIPHY profile to commemorate the premiere of its latest shonen series, “Blade Horizon.” The profile, which went live on March 31, 2025, features a curated collection of animated GIFs from the series’ most iconic fight sequences, character reactions, and opening scene transitions. Designed to engage fans across social media platforms, the GIPHY profile will be updated weekly with new content aligned with each episode’s arc.
