Special thanks: Ash and Perseus, my beloved researchers.

Apologies for the sound quality, the want of a "low-fi charm" got the better of me. Future audio will be drastically improved with the help of a new mic. I recommend the auto-generated subtitles.

OMG IT'S THE TALENTED AF MUSICIAN FROM A COUPLE YEARS AGO!!! Getting into yet another one of my fandoms, excited to see how this progresses

[seraphim]

Oh, this is gonna be a great watch.

Three reccommendations / bits of advice I give to anyone I reccommed this series to:

1) Don't look into the series too deep before you're done - like Undertale, it's best blind.
2) The series is divided into 5 "Seasons", 40 episodes each. Might be useful in deciding how to divide your youtube episodes.
3) The sound design - primarily the volume control - is a little rough early on. They get MUCH better later on, to the point where I would say that sound design is a massive strength of the series overall - but hoo boy, do a couple of those early episodes hurt the ears quite suddenly. Fair warning there.

WE GOT ONE BOYS!!!! THE ANGLER IS A GOOD FISHER EH!?

As someone who has finished the entire series, this video is so exciting. I feel like I’m watching a new archivist untangle their predecessor’s confusing web of documents… you’re sort of the next Jon I suppose

[annabarich]

"The only person I know who is entirely caught up on Welcome to Nightvale." Not even two minutes into the video, and I have been called out.

[bellbranches]

i think i am going to relisten to the magnus archives now

[here_for_the_Chaos]

It's so wonderful to see someone walk down the path of mystery and fear so many have traveled before in real time. Remember, don't let yourself be tangled in the web. By the time you realized you've been ensnared, it is far too late, and the spider is close behind.

This is the perfect way to experience this story, you're gonna love it

[ximoverdu]

the moment you said "i like that line in episode sixsss..." and the static came in i was subsibed

[ZuriElysium]

I got so excited at the "Themes" section. That will be fascinating to watch progress as this goes

[kainhoogerdyk]

something to help when reffering to Jonathan Sims (Author/Actor) the fandom typically uses Jonny (not to be confused with Jonnys other character Jonny D'ville)

[abby_]

I think you’ll find Martins character very enjoyable throughout the entire series

[forest]

took me a few months to finish the series but ima say now, it was worth every second and I'm glad you're liking it :) I aint have a wise piece of info to share or prepare you but I'll leave you with my favorite line from the series "maybe the real archives was the friends we made along the way" (this isn't an actual line pls don't kill me)

!! SPOILERS !!










Laughed so hard when you said Elias “seems decent enough.”

[heart]

Really great to see someone listening to these episodes and theorizing so thoroughly. Having listened to the entirety of the Magnus Archives over a timespan of two months and enjoying it so, so, so much, I am happy to go through it all once again through the lens of a first time listener.
But remember, people are watching you.

[patrickcampbell]

Oh, this is going to get so much messier and more complicated before it's over. I hope they've got more cardboard and string. This is going to be so much fun. 😁

[kikikat]

OHH I FEEL SO LUCKY TO HAVE FOUND THIS
IM JUST NOW FINISHING SEASON 1 AND I TOTES WILL LISTEN ALONG WITH U

[teejaykaye]

Oh this is fun! Magnus Archives is my favorite horror media of all time, it is so so fun seeing you try and piece it all together. Especially seeing old familiar names and elements…. You’re in for a wild ride

[moroi]

I am surviving solely off of people experiencing the media I love. Glad I found another... food source.
I won't... I will try to not spoil anything. However, it's lovely seeing someone starting off with that powerful inquisitive spirit, and figuring some things out already.

[arranr]

They are going to need a bigger piece of cardboard
