I have not heard that expression before. If I had to guess, it may mean something like "It is obvious that . . . "

"It totally follows!" mean? Is it A) It makes sense! or B) It is really easy to understand!----Michaela
It means both. English, is a logic-based language, which is something that foreign students do not become acquainted with because logic is a subject not taught in foreign countries.
Logic, employing the "syllogism" means to us, in plain language, that a conclusion, claim, or proposition; (A) makes sense, and (B) is really easy to understand.
The expression; IT--TOTALLY---FOLLOWS, indicates that a conclusion "follows" logically, from the stated premises.
There will be two premises in a Syllogism, followed by a conclusion.
The conclusion is referred to as that which is True, if the Premises are both True.
The person is indicating to you that there is no way that his conclusion can be False, which would be the case, if the conclusion did not logically follow from the premises.
Example of a Syllogism:
People on Italki study languages.
Michaela is on Italki.
Michaela is studying a language.
It totally follows from the Premises
[People on Italki study languages.
Michaela is on Italki.]......that Michaela studies a language.

Just like Bruce said, it can mean either one.
It totally follows = It completely is aligned with what someone is saying.
For example:
1+2 = 3
It totally follows what the teacher taught us today in school. When you add 1 plus 2, it will equal 3.

It- This refers to something, likely not a person.
Totally- Completely.
Follows- to come after,
This object completely comes after.
It doesn't really mean that, but many may understand it as "Its understanding," "Its sensible." "It is logical."
