FIXER and TOKYO MX Build AI Review System for TV and Anime Programs
The system handles long-form content including anime programs, and its reported cut of a 30-minute infomercial review from five hours to two hours points to AI compliance checks becoming routine in broadcast operations.

FIXER and Tokyo Metropolitan Television have jointly developed GaiXer Review Agent, an AI system that checks TV programs and commercials against broadcasting standards and related laws. The system reviews video, audio, scripts, and storyboards, and handles long-form content including anime programs of 30 minutes or more. A 30-minute infomercial review that took skilled staff about five hours now takes about two hours, with the system alone making an initial determination in under 10 minutes.
TOKYO MX has already moved to full-scale operation of the system, running it with a double-check process in which review staff make the final call. The agent flags violations in three levels, serious, moderate, and minor, and pulls flagged points with timestamps across video, audio, and captions. It can generate PDF response documents, answer follow-up questions in a chat format, and suggest alternative expressions. The design also includes subliminal detection, red flashing checks, and a data non-retention setting that deletes analysis data after a report is generated. The system is patent-pending, and multiple TV stations are reportedly considering adoption.
