I think the canon ages are, left to right in that picture, something like 16, classified, 15, 22, and 14. I forget where exactly I read this to double check, but I'm pretty sure the pink one is supposed to be early 20s, and Mikumo's is basically classified/unknown at the moment.

No, wait, I found it.

If this is correct the canon ages are:

Mikumo/dark one is unknown age. Probably a 2000 year old space dragon idol singer with a mysterious past.

Freya/red one/main character is 14

Kaname/green one with red hair is 22

Makina/pink one is 18

Reina/green one with green hair is 15

Good news: they don't seem to be the pilots. Each of them is paired with their own pilot.

I care a lot about anime character ages, because they aren't just made-up numbers.
I was curious mostly because I was wondering what kind of demographic was the target and what kind of direction the story might take.

That's good news? It'd be far more entertaining if they were the pilots. Embrace the absurdity.
It means we get more dancing and mech surfing.

It would be cool they do end up doing a piloting sequence though.

I thought I was getting over it, but I had to watch the Giri Giri Ai segment again.

It's also not like they're going in to things unprotected anyways, given that they have a poo poo load of drones to act as protection, rocket skirts and probably other poo poo we've not yet seen to keep them safe.
I'm pretty sure the glow around them is actually some kind of personal force field type deal as well.

Unless they do something unexpected or add in even more new people later, Hayate seems set up to be Freya's pilot. Maybe Mirage will sing though.

Wild speculation time:

Mikumo is a vocaloid. That's why her age and everything is a mystery and she can make that W gang sign one handed so easily.

Seriously, try to do it yourself.

This is what I was talking about. I can move my fingers to overlay like the other guy, but I can't get my fingers to bend like this to cross at the first joint, even if I use my other hand to help or bend my fingers.

I did say wild speculation though!

I looked at the scene where she de-Vars that one guy and it's more normal. So theory busted maybe.

Might actually be interesting to try and put episodes up on YouTube, region-lock them to America, then use the inevitable DMCA attempt by Harmony Gold to get a court to shoot down their ownership claims.

Any actual lawyers here who can tell me why this wouldn't work, aside from Harmony Gold having a lot more money for legal fees?
I sense a goon crowdfunded project.

Someone theorized it earlier, but I'm also now on board with the idea that Purple Idol is an AI/android. Punching out of the ground, ~mysterious living arrangements ~. Maybe Vers syndrome is nanomachine based and that's why she can fix it.

Also, Green and Red are totally a couple.
All of them can reverse it with the power of music using the fold whatever thing. That's the show's gimmick.

Anyway, in and among all the other huge poo poo that happened seeing Mikumo completely shaken and even taken out by...whatever the hell happened with the songs and runes and feedback was a hell of a shock. She's always so drat unflappable and whatever happened there messed her up big time.
It looks like the dimensional weapon hole on Windemere
