The museum has attracted attention as an example to be followed in other regions in that the city and the university jointly collects, exhibits and preserves materials so that the systematic study of manga and animation can help promote the lifelong learning, tourism activation, development of human resources and creation of new industries, the fruits of which can be shared and can contribute to the cultural activities of local communities.
マンガ・アニメーションを体系的に研究し生涯学習、観光誘致、人材育成や新産業創出等への活用を図るため資料の収集・展示・保存を市と大学の共同により行い、その成果を地域社会の文化活動に対しても還元・貢献できる形態は他地域の先進事例となることが注目されている。
