Drawing Anime Characters Based Only on Their Powers 

"It's a gun! But *I* get to use it!" is the most terrifying thing Nathan has ever said in his life and I'm genuinely scared.

fun fact: the author of jojo’s originally developed the power because he liked the the challenge of drawing faces peeling off like pages and figuring out how those shapes would move in 3d space. its fun to see julia have to do the same thing on the fly

My favorite part about Crazy Slots is whenever he complains about the result, everybody else nearby just thinks to themselves "My brother in Christ, you made the ability"

As a JoJo fan, I speak for all JoJo fans when I say Karina's method of taking in JoJo content is the definitively correct method

Karina: "So are you drawing a jacket or a person?" Nathan: "Body horror."

Nathan, my partner and I started YELLING when we heard the "anyone who is on the fence about jojo should start with lets eat italian food"- that is LITERALLY how a friend got us into jojo. We watched that episode and then Immediately went back and started watching the rest of the series. It really truly is the perfect intro to the series, LEGIT TACTICS

Karina's prompt of Roulette Clown sounds 100% like a Yu-Gi-Oh villain deck.

okay knowing now that julia listens to the magnus archives id love it if she hosted an episode where she describes statements from memory and the others draw them :]

I'd never guess that a man with that kind of face would have a name like Gregory Sunshine.

I thought Karina was joking when she asked if a character was called "Shoot McMahon." But of course... there is a real anime character named Shoot McMahon. 😂

Dear Drawfee, We require a part 2 of this, please and thank you. Best regards.

I am really interested in the sort of “six degrees of Kevin bacon” vibe of the “find every episode of drawfee that mentions another episode and see if that includes all the episodes”. Might do that at some point starting at this one and see how far I get before I lose my mind (or patience)

The episode where Julia first drew Heaven's Door was the first Drawfee episode I ever watched, so this one gave me probably the strangest nostalgia I've ever experienced

My first drawfee episode was crazy pose school and I’d like to go on record and say that was simultaneously the best and worst starting episode ever because although the episode is quintessential drawfee, Julia introduced herself as Nathan followed by everyone else also becoming Nathan and it took me many episodes to disentangle everyone’s actual identity from that initial confusion, especially Julia

Karina baiting the jojo communuity to get upset with her is the kind of chaotic energy I needed to start my day today

Karina’s ability to bust out a sick pose is so aspirational 🤩

I love that karina gets a tiny bit of a power up zap from saying "the fuck" XD

Fun note about kite, he actually does die but his clown power lets him reincarnate into a young girl. Meaning this could be her grown up and totally canon😂

Ah yes, the Jacket-Jacket Fruit. Quite possibly one of the weirdest and least useful superpowers ever conceived. Gotta love One Piece.

Kite's ability feels like something he came up with genuinely as a kid or ironically as a teen and now he hates it but since nen powers get better the more restrictions you give them he's stuck with it. The more he genuinely hates it the stronger it gets.

I’m honored to have witnessed the birth of the extended Drawfeeverse.

I can't belive to learn that Jacob got through an intro without being pissed by the end.

Looking forward to seeing Julia's interpretation of Magnus Archives characters. I can hardly imagine a piece of non-visual media that would be more perfect for her art style.

Glad to see Karina is utilizing Microsoft Paint's new layering abilities to make beautiful fanart of Crazy Frog and the Gummy Bear™

I would like to point out that Kill La Kill DOES in fact have fullbody jackets that take control of people, they are called Covers. Also, I honestly thought about Adventure Time first, how Jake can turn into a fullbody suit for Finn.

The brief guitar riff when Hisoka's image came up was top tier editing. David is a gift.

Yeah, ratatouille is totally a full control-type situation. There's an entire scene where Rat boy is cooking while the man boy is asleep

As a big photochop’d fan, I understand why you can’t do that kind of thing anymore but it is still weirdly validating to hear it being acknowledged

I write this from my sukka, praying desperately, begging “save me, save me, save me Drawfee, grant me my plea: an episode where Nathan vaguely describes Jewish holidays to the rest of the gang!” I want to see Jacob’s Sukkot (Shake a Lemon at God Week) or Karina’s Purim (Drunken Cross-Dressing and Prevented Genocide Day)

I’m so happy to hear that Julia is listening to the Magnus Archives. Her fanart would be the damn coolest

I hope they do a part 2, JoJo Stands are a goldmine for this. I’d love to see Jacob try to explain what Babyface, Yellow Temperance, Cinderella, or Whitesnake do. Naruto and Demon Slayer also have some pretty weird abilities for their characters

You should do this again but with only the power's name. Some names like April Fiction, Boogie Woogie and No Longer Human don't really give you an idea of the ability unless you already know what it does

to be fair, I think TMA season 1 is a lot less rough than many other podcasts I've given a try. Any D and D podcast, for example, has a really ROUGH first episode: extra long, bad audio quality, rambly. Like, yes, the audio quality is kind of flat for TMA for the first season or so, but the quality of the writing and horror is the same all the way through. I personally skipped around based on how spooked I was by the stories. Some of them just weren't my thing because I found them not spooky or interesting at all, but I only figured that out by trying the episodes out.

As someone who deeply loves the magnus archives, I do not think that the dawning realizations/horrors and intense emotional reactions could be felt in the same way if I had not started from the beginning. That being said, it's really wonderful piece of media and I would rather have someone risk a less satisfying/incomplete experience than completely miss out

*Drawing Suggestion:* The Celebrity sketch artist Challenge: Eldritch horror Edition!!! Each artist picks an "indescribable" horror to "describe" to the other and can only do so with yes or no answers/questions Q: "Is it big" A: "Yes.... but also No"

The crazy thing about Nathan’s prompt is that it also a very close description to the main character of Gleipnir. The only major differences are that the person wearing him can exert some level of control on their actions and that the intention of the power is more geared towards “becoming a single unit” than control over another. Oh yeah, and the “jacket” is a fursuit with a gun.

these are the wildest powers when you just write them down like that

i'll be honest when i heard that julia started the magnus archives not at episode one i was distraught cause it's hard enough to keep up with everything even when you have started from the beginning

Ironically, by talking about "episodes they never talk about" in this episode, they've included all those episodes in the tree of references, thus making them required viewing because this video referenced them! Guess that means I'm officially watching the entire backcatalog.

I thoroughly enjoyed the "And every time we kiss" in this episode. Jacobs is fully on board with the joke if its pushes content and engagement.

I need someone to document the canonical drawfee watch order starting from this episode but it definitely won't be me

I really dont know how far Julias into TMA or if shes even interested in continuing it, but its cool to hear her talk about it nonetheless. I really like season 1 despite it being a lil rough audio wise, I think it gets better around season 2 but honestly at that point the plot kicks in and really grips you so I didnt even notice how polished it had gotten.

"With this power, you can turn a person into a book..." Mary Key:"Been there. Done that."

So glad Julia brought up the magnus archives bc I was thinking the power of turning someone into a book felt like an episode of it

10:00 "This is some freak [_] Oda" Hey man, he puts his brother on one leg at a time just like everyone else.

I love that somehow, no matter what character Julia draws, you can always see Julia in the character. One of my favorite things about her style!

The moment I heard this episode's theme, I knew there would be some One Piece mentions in here. Oda creates the weirdest abilities.

"And if you want to put Drawfee on to your body and have it take over your life, we have a merch store!" ... Also "If you don't like [Let's Go Eat Some Italian Food] then you don't like JJBA" is the most objectively correct take on the internet

Drawing suggestion: draw each other into an isekai. Example- Nathan is king of dinosaurs in a prehistoric world; Karina uses a Digimon deck in a YuGiOh-esque dimension; Julia is a Drawtective in an isekai full of vampires; and Jacob is the leader of a bunch of little guys rebelling against hot villains.

The Spam Emails arc is definitely a great starting point for new viewers, bur personally I think having the extra characterization from the 4 Characters, 1 Description arc first improves the experience

Honestly, 'Crazy Slots' really is one of my favorite powers. HunterxHunter is so freaking cool. Their ability to make their NEN OP by putting a condition on it is well done. From "Hey, I've got 5 really deadly weapons, but one is a joke' all the way up to 'If I even think about using this power in a certain way I will straight up die'.

The voice they gave Clown Roulette definitely sounded like everyone's voice for Mickey Mouse I've ever heard... especially the "You're going to die!" part

Love the ongoing saga of partial-Crazy-Frog-covers-of-pop-songs bit. Would love to see a Drawfee concept album of just partial covers and choice lyrics done like they did at the end lmao

I'm a 46 year old man, but if I was still in highschool this 33:46 would totally be my yearbook quote! Also, are yearbook quotes still a thing? Also also, being old sucks. Also also also, getting old is pretty rad though... if that makes any sense.

I love how Karin’s basically drew a combo of black star and tsubaki

Jacob, Nathan, and Karina should design the next evolutions of Julia's past Pokémon creations. Like what would Julia's Spheal look like one step up.

There is actually one singular instance where Kite uses Crazy Slots and chooses the weapon he wants. When Pitou comes into the scene he's in and *immediately* chops his arm off, he uses the ability and we get a specific second of silence to show that Kite didn't complain about the weapon he got, which leads us to believe he purposefully chose his strongest weapon to fight Pitou.

For a second when Jacob started describing the Jacket-Jacket fruit I was sure he was describing Gleipnir, which absolutely is deviant art hellscape stuff, but I like Nathan's body horror guy way more than "It's a mech anime, but where the mech is a fursuit and the fur suit is alive"

The first Magnus episode is one of my favorite entries... but alas, Julia can have her own opinion

Nathan is absolutely right: You can start with Part 4 of Jojo. I did this, you get hints that some stuff went down previously but it's only made me intrigued rather than ruining anything, and the cast and story basically stand on their own just fine!

I have never heard of Tiger and Bunny but i was incredibly exciting hearing the name because it sounds like a Frog and Toad type deal and then they showed the picture and I was VERY disappointed. I want a superhero show but with cute animals that are sweet and happy

I always assumed Kite hating Crazy Slots was a condition to fully manifest his power; the less he likes it, the stronger it is.

Interesting that the early magnus archives episodes are considered rough, I thought those were so good and that the show lost some of the magic when it became cleaner. The suspension of disbelief was easier when it was rough

Knowing that there's an anime character whose power is to turn into a fursuit with gross internal flesh, I think I'll be ready for whatever this episode throws at me.

As someone who primarily plays episodes based on references, i have watched almost every episode forom the last 3 years in less than two months. The older ones dont get referenced as much, nor does youtube recomend them often. But the core episodes, speeddraws and streams are almost all linked together.

Karina went HARD on this one! Nathan made it shine with the voices lmao

Welp, Moral McNasty is obviously my esoteric Halloween costume this year, now

Nathan did such a good job that I recognised the One Piece power from the thumbnail picture before even reading the episode. 😂 Think you could do an episode like this just on One Piece Devil Fruit powers. Great episode! 🎉😊

Please give the super Crown (Peachette / Bowsette) to video game characters of your choice. We all need to see which Silent Hill character Julia gives it to. Four years, and still asking!

This episode is so funny, and now I really want to try the Drawfee References Order challenge. It remind me of some fun unhinged watching orders I've heard about like Dr Who but chronologically by years the Doctor time travel to. Also for Magnus Archive, I bet a "must watch to understand plot" list exist out there which let you skip the first episodes if they're not your taste.

You've probably already recorded all of your Halloween episodes for this year, but I think the two-sentence horror stories one was worth doing again.

A classic format I'd like to see return is the "Shades of [color]" videos. Nathan's bird from "Shades of Purple" was my desktop background for a while.

Suggestion: could you please draw your own Fungi Creature OCs? 🍄

Nathan's clown voice is eerily similar to Hooty from The owl house

I am always excited when I see that a new Drawfee episode is up and I just know this one is going to be really fun (all of them are, but sometimes I just see a title and I know know it's going to be good)

"It's better than no powers" -power is from anime world where powers come with a serious drawback for that universe-

Drawing prompt: Julia describes a Magnus Archives episode/entity/creature and the others draw it. Also, what if Julia just drew Magnus Archives fanart?

Unexpected revisiting of Drawfee history in this episode. What a welcome surprise.

OH MY GOSH JULIA IS LISTENING TO MAGNUS ARCHIVES!!! I don’t care that she didn’t start at the beginning. I just hope she finishes. My SO still hasn’t finished

"You should get hobbies other than media consumption." Ouch guys that one hurt too true.

The editing in the episode is sublime. The Hisoka music riff got me haha

I’m delighted to hear Julia started the Magnus Archives! I’d love to see an episode where the gang draws creatures and characters from various archive statements, much like the popular SCP episodes!

Drawfee having deleted episodes opens up the opportunity for Drawfee lost episode creepypastas

I lost it at "Is that the only image of him!?" EDIT and immediately after there's a bit I desperately need to see animated: the entire falsetto bit of voicing the clown roulette Edit 2 let's be real, this ep is full of great soundbytes, from "you better hope it doesn't land on skull" to the visceral waddle of the clown shoes, and beyond

I was NOT prepared for the very end of the video! Also I loved Julia's render for this ep :D

Nathan accidentally did a perfect impression of hooty for the clown’s voice.

I saw the thumbnail and immediately went “yes, one piece!!”

As a long time Drawfee fan who has been around since like 2016-ish, this episode was very special to watch y'all reminisce. I remember each of those moments too and it's been a hell of a ride.

I immediately thought of Mario odyssey when I heard the jacket ability of whoever wears them takes over them 😂😂

The Moral McNasty reminded me, a shop opened ear me, called Philthy McNastys fried chicken. And every time I drive past it it cracks me up. It’s next to a CrossFit gym and a carpet shop. And the mascot on the ship sign looks like a mix of a bobs burger and king of the hill

When I heard Julia’s prompt I thought this would be very silly or absolutely terrifying

When i saw the title, i instantly thought of crazy slots, and boy oh boy did it deliver! 😂❤ Also Nathan is 1000% correct about "let's go eat some Italian food."

When I heard Nathan's prompt I thought, "yeah, full jacket metal alchemist."

As soon as I saw "wear a guy like a jacket" I thought "oh it's the funk brother from the dressrosa arc in One Piece" and immediately realized that I may know a bit too much about one piece.

drawing suggestion: make up new experiments from lilo and stitch! most of them have names but not descriptions so it'd be up to you to decide what experiments such as snarfhonk, b.v. beaverton, and noidster would look like.

Julia makes us sound so mean for telling her she'll be confused if she doesn't read up on the plot of TMA before starting at season 4 but like. it's the truth. some of the episodes are more standalone than others but I can think of a good amount that just will not make sense without context lmao. like go off queen enjoy the spooks but just saying there's so many purely episodic horror fiction podcasts you could listen to instead

Suggestion: Holidays as Dark Soul bosses. Hanukkah and Día de Muertos come to mind.

I was unnecessarily afraid that some of the bonkers harem anime abilities would appear. Ty for keeping it classy

I feel like I'm being heard, thank you Jacob for giving Julia the prompt for this masterpiece. I'd love to see Julia's version of Nathan's.

I kind of agree on the The Magnus Archives, the early episodes are rough. But also its crazy that things wrap back around so much that one small sentence in the first episode become important much much later. Do what you want though idc.
