Usually they do it the other way around and use too old actresses. Experience has to count for something, I guess, however I just can't buy 40yo actresses as around 20.
They didn't up their ages, just used too old actresses. The dates are mentioned all the time, their births were included in the story, you can do the math and they are still 6 and 10. Maybe they just go with the idea that children had to grow up fast back then... Um, still doesn't make sense. Gou got married in recent episodes, I did the math and she is... 11. It was an arranged marriage and it was mentioned that she was too young, so strangely this might be one of the times when they actually do act their age.
