I love how SiIva exists in a perfect middle ground where the channel is popular enough for loads of casuals to know about it, but it's not at the point where big channels all over YT are aware of it, so every now and then a popular KZbinr (or their editor) slips up and uses a SiIva rip as background music, I haven't seen it happen too often, but it's hilarious when it does There's also this funny incident where Ludwig, while talking about Gilva's deletion, accidentally used SiIva's channel to illustrate what he was talking about Anyway, this is a really well-done and concise summary of the channel, I've only followed SiIva since 2021 but this video does a great job at covering the past and present of SiIva

[@La_cabine_de_Cabine]

siivagunner has fostered such an amazing community around it, this channel is the reason i met most of my friends and we've known each other for like 7 (lol) years at this point. i am very very grateful for siiva, and seeing a video like this makes me really happy

[@Sykroid]

I remember loving the original Silvagunner, a looong time ago. It's crazy that all it took was 3 copyright strikes to take down 7k videos, and it was just...all lost. An entire archive of videogame music (with many songs that could only be found under that one channel) was gone. And it's really, REALLY weird that everybody knows Siivagunner, but not the original. The parody has become more popular and well known than the channel it was referencing. Imagine you create a username, and someday somebody adopts YOUR username and makes it famous; as if it's wearing your face; it's a false identity. And nobody was around, so they don't know. Great video man, I'm glad you got to shed light on everything.

[@sherbertgerbert.]

Yeah, that's something about this whole situation that still rubs me the wrong way. The Siivagunner team puts a lot of work into the content they make, but the fact that their name is essentially a stolen identity that the OG SilvaGunner did not in any way consent to is very off-putting. It's one thing to be a parody of something else, but i really don't think using a capital "i" in place of the "l" is enough.

[@SSB_Seal]

Awesome video! I'm really impressed at the historical accuracy regarding the channel origin. Siiva has been a massive part of my online life all the way back since February 2016, and it's always nice to see people discuss and appreciate it!

[@froginaboxVEVO]

Thanks so much! I think this is the most fun I've had making a video, and it really helped me appreciate what you guys do over at SiIvaGunner. Edit: Since you're a team member, I was thinking I might mention something: The beginning of the song 'I Welcome the Darkness' from Deep Rock Galactic is absolutely perfect for a nutshack rip. I'm just saying ;)

[@De_an]

I think my favorite rips on the channel are the ones that are completely made up (Green Hill Zone - Super Smash Bros. Melee, Tutorial - Kirby's Epic Yarn, Final Boss - iCarly (DS)). They just feel like really cool "what if" scenarios.

[@PsychLantern]

My history with SiIvaGunner isn't as far reaching as a lot of people's since I only started actively following the channel between 2018 and 2019. Still, this video put a big smile on my face, it's so fun to remember channel events and even the most unexpected occurences.

Something worth mentioning is that during its heyday, the SiIva channel was uploading a new rip _every hour, 24/7._ At some point they switched over to uploads every two hours, which is still insane even for a fairly large team.

[@bane2201]

Definitely - their upload schedule is still crazy. Fun fact - from the start of the channel to June 4th of 2023, there have been 779 hours of videos uploaded, or around 32.5 _days_ worth. (I could scrape the list of videos to get newer data, but it takes a while.)

This channel honestly boosted my love for music in general, whether it's game, pop, or even classical music, the things the channel put out made me learn more and feel more aware about KZbin and internet culture. But my favorite thing about it (as well as music mashup channels like DaymanOurSavior) is that it makes random fanbases cross paths with each other and make all sorts of crossover jokes between any kind of media, no matter how niche they are, there is always something for everyone (in game and meme communities, at least), it really makes me hope for a KFAD 3 some day so that all of us can get ourselves hyped up over some musicians and fictional characters.

[@maybefaith23]

I remember watching an Ocarina of Time retrospective by some guy who grew up with the game and had this whole emotional segment in it about how much the game meant to him, and how much he wanted to be a kid playing the game for the first time again. It had the file select/fairy fountain theme from the game in the background of it, but it was the SiIlvaGunner version of it, which had George Michael's Careless Whisper softly playing in the background in the OoT soundfont. I'd heard this version before while searching for the song and not knowing who SiIva was so I instantly noticed it. I still find it funny to this day.

[@Chubby_Bub]

Rather appropriately, I was prepared for a generic KZbin video essay but ended up with a High Quality KZbin Video. You did a good job explaining and I admire your willingness to not cover topics you didn’t want to misrepresent. High Quality Rips are a very particular form of art that I think merit more discussion than they get. It’s a unique feeling listening to them, and also creating them (even though I am relatively untalented at it). Also, I hope you do make a video on the story arcs and characters, because even as a fan who has submitted to the channel, they can confuse me at times…

[@mexicanhonoka]

Great video, as a SiivaGunner fan since summer of 2016 I have watched over 10,000 rips of theirs and it has been a great experience I won't forget. And yeah like you said, the SiivaGunner iceberg is huge, there is so much lore, inside jokes and rips with extremely obscure jokes some which have not been figured out yet, it would great if you continue the series of explaining more about SiivaGunner if you could. We need a good historian who could archive these great memories in a video.

GilvaSunner wasn't deleted, was it? I swear i've seen some videos from the channel while compiling my Kirby Playlist Edit: It's a channel called GilvaSunner: Archive, which i think is reuploading some of GilvaSunner's videos or something A tribute of a Tribute lol

[@pj1343]

this is just nothing but a trip down memory lane for me, dude. i just feel that wave nostalgia rushing through me when watching the beginning part of this video. i remember getting in on the high quality hype train back in late summer of 2016. haven't checked back on what they've been doing since 2019, but it's cool that they're still around to this day. the fact that they can still get many people bamboozled by their works to this day is such an incredible feat that i don't think any other parody account could ever manage. overall, this was a wonderfully well-documented video about the most infamous parody channel on youtube.

I generally enjoyed the video, but a pet peeve of mine is when creators get bogged down with, "There are some unsavory aspects I don't like. They're so extreme that I can't even describe what they are. But I will keep talking about how unsavory these aspects are and how much I don't like them. They are really bad. So bad. Really really bad. So bad I can't stop talking about them. But I can't tell you what they are." The whole thing grinds to a halt with personal offense over non-information. Consider the tonal whiplash when you, the video creator, spend almost the entire time effectively creating a documentary and then stop to describe at length how offended you are over something that's not even relevant enough to include in the video.

[@froginaboxVEVO]

First off, thanks for the feedback. It's always great to hear what the community thinks could change/be done better. I'm still learning the ropes, and I've never really made a video of this kind before. My reasoning was this: The SiIva team made some bad choices early on. Ignoring them would be the wrong thing to do, as not only should they be held accountable, but I'd be leaving out a notable part of the channel's history. Mentioning it would also be a great way of illustrating how the channel has changed over time. The problem was that I didn't know if I could cover them in a professional way, especially since I don't really know what I'm doing. In hindsight, yes, the segment dragged on for too long but it wasn't a matter of ranting over a personal offence. It was a matter of not yet knowing how to properly make documentary content like this, whilst also feeling SiIva's controversial incidents should not be overlooked. If you would like to learn more about these incidents, I recommend taking a look at the SiIvaGunner Wiki.

“That you’ve never heard of.” Well you sure like to make assumptions. Puts on Siivagunner themed cap*

[@Maverynthia]

And he's never made one of Radiant Silvergun as far as I can tell.

[@myhandleiswhat]

I've both heard of him and had one of the videos from his channel recommended alongside this one.

[@koopanique]

Thanks for the well-put-together video! I remember finding the Gilva/Silva/Gunner/Sunner channel very intriguing and mysterious. I realized I unironically loved some of their rips and I listen to these to this day

[@Lucas-Omega]

I’m pretty sure Silvagunner changed the course of my life because of how much I used to be into the channel.

[@TheRealBatabii]

Until I watched this video I had absolutely no idea that siivagunner had an eyepatch on their channel icon. I thought it was just a shadow

[@HatsCaliber]

I always assumed it was just one dude changing his channel name around not the original guy, his fans, and a parody of his fans. Good video.

[@Asnt2381]

He's finally here performing for you

[@Tbug20]

I wonder where the original SiLvaGunner is now

[@Twister2849]

To be fair SiIva was on the 100 billion view Mario KZbin video and I definitely hyped at it

[@DaisiesTC]

It's so ridiculous the only way to get KZbin to do anything is to blast them on Twitter

[@MacaroniDemon]

Everyone’s favorite feature of the M1 is the ping after every 8 shots. So they made the M14 ping after every shot.

2:36 i love that the binary in this section just says frog a bunch of times haha

[@LittleParade_]

I've had "Main Theme - Flappy Bird" and "Final Remix - Rhythm Heaven Megamix" on my go-to playlist for years! They're some of my top favorite rips from the channel! I also have been enjoying "Shark Bytes (OST Version) - Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion" and "Alien Alien - Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session!" more recently as well! Like it's been said, they're of the highest quality!

[@loweffortproductions1985]

I was aware of him thanks to his Quality of SoundCloud series that Acai played on Clone Hero. Acai was sent the entire track on floppy disk drives 😂

[@FairyCRat]

I love how I recognized the channel name immediately, even though I knew nothing about the backstory.

[@hellraiser217]

I never knew I needed a banjo kazzoie Thunderstruck mashup until right now. Thank you for bringing my attention to this.

[@JamesR624]

15:48 So.. considering there's no mention of these supposed "bad events", I am gonna guess that they were mostly harmless to people with a brain and a sense of humor but since everyone needs to be offended by everything now, I am guessing that's why they're "bad" now. All it takes is one person who wants to stirr up drama and the masses have to take that one person seriously instead of dismissing them as they should, lest they be consindered "intolerant". I could be wrong and the events could genuinely be horrible, but I am guessing not since, if that was the case instead of just people desperate for drama, then the channel wouldn't still be up.

[@froginaboxVEVO]

I understand that I really screwed up this segment of the video, leaving viewers with little to no context. For that, I apologise. This was my first video of the kind, and I wasn't sure how to approach the issue - especially since it came up fairly late into the scriptwriting process. I understand this is long-winded, but allow me to explain my reasoning: I will have to disagree with you on a few points. First, I did not intend to start any "drama," and nor did I (to my knowledge). I explicitly stated that SiIvaGunner moved past posting content that was offensive and commended them for it. I did not encourage anyone to take action against the team for past controversies, as they have evidently learned from past actions. To answer your statement about dismissing the events or "taking them seriously," my opinion is that although they should not define our entire perspective of the project, they should at least be recognised as part of the larger picture. As my video was intended to be a history of SiIvaGunner, I felt obligated to at least acknowledge the unsavoury part of the channel's past. To clarify, I will list some of the controversial incidents and explain why personally feel they were reprehensible, even if used as jokes: First were events depicting footage of the September 11th terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre from 2001. That was the joke. Simply footage of people dying. The issue itself lies not in the fact that the footage was used, as it can be in a historical or informative context, but in the fact that it was just used for the shock factor. This historical event has been used as a subject of dark humour, and in some cases has been used as a basis for effective political satire in mainstream media. This event was not that. There is no case that this was satire, as it makes not even the slightest reference towards the broader social or political circumstances or results of the event. As I said before, this was simply footage of people dying. I do not see the humour. Second were two channel events "celebrating" the birthday of Adolf Hitler. I do not think it is difficult to see why this was met with backlash and why I personally found it distasteful. As with the previous case, Nazism is frequently satirised. This channel event also contained little aside from the shock factor, which I maintain is a cowardly excuse for comedy. Most infamously was an incident where a video contained an image of a baby with a particular skin condition in which skin appeared to be peeling off the body. Again, I do not find this humorous as it is simply shock imagery. The video initially evaded moderation but was promptly taken down and the ripper removed from the team. The SiIvaGunner team also found the video to have been a deplorable act - not just me. While it certainly can be argued that these incidents were harmless in the grand scheme of things, that does not mean they should be dismissed. They were offensive for the sake of being offensive, and having "a brain or a sense of humour" does not change that. It is not a matter of everyone being offended by everything. Instead, it is one of maturity and responsibility, things SiIva has (in a notable capacity,) has managed to demonstrate.

[@Alloftheanwsers]

@@froginaboxVEVO So the TL; DR is "People are MASSIVE pussies", got it.

[@Alloftheanwsers]

​@@froginaboxVEVO a) Because you are one. b) No, the entire thing is top down garbage enacted because said pussies (advertisers or otherwise) lobbied to get ToS changes and more "effective" enforcement. In the end, it all boils down to as I said.

[@613-shadow9]

when you say jokes in bad taste i can only think of the puzzle room incident

[@pandaqwanda]

"You've Never Heard Of"?! i thought everyone heard of, and loved, SiIvaGunner
