K-ON! Through The Ages

70's = best

90's mio looks like lime from saber marionette...

Now why does 1960's Mio actually remind me of Astro Boy and Gigantor so damn much?

lol saber marionette j

Yui= same awesomeness in all decades. I like 00 Mio the best.

HAHAHAHAHA 90'S MIO!!!!
I always hated the art in Saber Marionettes.

80's Mio looks really cute, though. And I kind of like 60's Mio, but I tend to like the look of older stuff for some reason.

Appalling how some people here took the bit about K-On originating in the sixties serious. Ignorance within the community, it seems...

Damn, that 90's Mio sure looks ugly. Then again, none of my favourite 90's anime look like that... No, really!

But I must admit that 60's and 70's Mio were my favourites. Does that count as "madam killer" complex?

By the way, GUYS! IT WAS A JOKE, GODDAMNIT! THERE WAS NO K-ON! BEFORE THE 00'S, IT'S JUST A MOCKUP!

THE SHIFT KEY GOT STUCK!!!!!! AND NOW THE EXCLAMATION MARK KEY HAS GONE CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!

yeah the 90's looks retarded!

just when i thought a shit anime couldn't get any shittier

lol trap

90's is literally a moeblob

90's is nightmare mode.

I must have missed a decade because it's 2010 now?

No matter how downvoted the comments are, 90's mio is still an abomination

fuck. i remember the majority of 90's anime and their art was usually like that shit.

2000's and 80's is where it's at.

70's 60' acceptable for their decades.

I liked the 80's and 70's. 90's made me lol

fapping to the 70's.....

90's edition made me went "Was the fLIck"

I liked Cyber Team in Akihabara :3

Oh c'mon 90s wasn't that bad. Hell that's the first time I got a boner on a 2d animation.

But this.. This makes me just doubt myself... WTF indeed. 90s WASN'T LIKE THAT!! *In Denial*

I'd prefer if the 70's have the classic sparkling eyes shoujo style or looks like something from Matsumoto Leiji instead..

80's Mio is so deliciously Haruhiko Mikimoto.

Anyone else preferring her over the 00's?

90s Mio is UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGLY! All the others are cute though..!

80s = best.

1980s style is still the best.

70's Mio is superior

apart from the years, 1 style they missed out, the Shojo style. i wanna see how that looks

Wow someone surely had a fun time rating down comments. Drivel if you agree...

DEAR GOD WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS MIO LOOKS LIKE A MAGIKARP IN THE 90S.

70s version is best.

what the FUCK was going on during the nineties!?

Yeah that's pretty much how things looked.

Even if you go back to the 1960s, Yui, Mio and Azunyan could all still play the exact same instruments and not look out of place. Ritsu would just have to get a slightly older drumkit to be in the right time. But, what would Mugi play? Here are my guesses:

2000/10s: Korg Triton
1990s: Korg M1
1980s: Yamaha DX7
1970s: Sequential Circuits Prophet-5
1960s: Hammond Organ, or maybe an Ondioline if she was into Jean-Jacques Perrey.

Other suggestions?

That 90s Slayers version makes me want to throw up. The 70s look has it going on, almost want that kinda look now.

Is just me ot the 70'one look like hell girl

1980s Mio is great. Just great.

As for 90s Mio, they should've gone for a Blue Seed look, not a Saber Marionette look.

70s Mio is best Mio. She strikes me as the most realistic-looking design, kinda like Range Murata's cartoonish-realistic style.

70's Mio looks really hot.

Sweet jesus, how bad were the nineties.

The 1970's would have it but what the FUCK is up with the 90's? Whooooah momma, Even I wouldnt touch that!

70's then 80's and.... NEVER 90's!

so wheres 2010?

Oh come on!,No 80's love?,I definitely dig the Macross-esque style.

Also,even as somewhat fan of Saber Marionette,I gotta admit that the shape of the faces was really weird sometimes.

Okay, I absolutely haet K-on with a passion, but this is awesome. Kudos to the originator...

70’s looks pretty good to me.

Bullshit, 70's anime didn't look like that. That looks hella modern. It's clear that the artist was biased.
