It's so weird, which makes it so funny.
The cast and music are awesome.
I laughed my way through this movie (and, for the record, I was having a pretty shitty day). It really helped up my spirits.
The reason the rewatch value I put is so low is simply because I never rewatch anything, but I wouldn't mind rewatching this movie.
It was so funny. Recommend everyone to watch it!

What an unexpectedly fun movie this was!
Keep in mind that this might not be everyone's cup of tea and I also might be biased because Kamiki Ryunosuke is my favorite but I really was genuinely surprised about how much I loved this! It's fun, quirky, and just an absolute delight. I've seen my share of weird Japanese movies, so nothing about this was new to me. Just get into the movie and don't think about anything else, I assure you you will enjoy this movie a lot.The acting and the music were so great. Nagase Tomoya and Kamiki Ryunosuke were hilarious and the way they brought their characters to life is outstanding. The supporting cast was commendable too. I couldn't get their song "Too young to die♪" out of my head for a few days after watching it. It was surprisingly really catchy!
Sometimes I still catch myself rewatching some scenes just for a laugh. Haha. I actually don't mind rewatching the whole movie.

Nagase is endearing as Killer K, but the uniform-clad Kamiki is the scene-stealer.
In this demonically divine musical comedy, "Motherf--ker!" almost becomes Japan’s national morale-booster "Ganbatte!" ("Do your best!") — so often is it hollered like a war-cry — yet judging by the guffaws it consistently elicits, the film’s outlandish, self-reflexive irreverence has struck the right chord. Helmer and writer Kankuro Kudo (Yaji and Kita: The Midnight Pilgrims) has managed to turn a simplistic tale of love and life choices into a thoroughly entertaining two-hour extravaganza through wacky allusions to rock music, absurd interpretations of Buddhist beliefs, and spots of well-placed humor.The story is about a high school student Daisuke who has a crush on his classmate Hiromi . The bus they’re on crashes and Daisuke wakes up to find himself face-to-face with the swashbuckling demon Killer K in hell — Buddhist hell. Daisuke, with K’s help, embarks on a quest to leave Inferno, but expectedly, gets sidetracked — by K’s backstory and hellish bureaucracy.
There’s strong comedic chemistry between Killer K and Daisuke. K with his painted face, big hair and medieval-glam rock gowns is what happens when KISS crosses over with Kabuki theatre, and it’s brilliant. By contrast, Daisuke has the pale androgynous visage of a millennial. Nagase, a contemporary of 90s heart-throb Kimura Takuya, is endearing as Killer K, but the young uniform-clad Kamiki is the scene-stealer.
The music is definitely a highlight of the film, one which helps to make the sometimes random humor and repetitiveness palatable. Ranging from metal to blues, and always given a ‘feel-good’ rendition, the pieces come with witty commentary about the industry, like what happens if you play the guitar with arms borrowed from Jimmy Hendrix, Gary Moore and Randy Rhoads?
Heaven is portrayed as Japanese society on steroids. It’s a pristine futuristic expanse that bans sounds over 20 decibels, and two passive-aggressive guardians carry this out with the efficiency of a world-class metropolis. The one-stop remote has buttons for everything, including sex and suicide. Kudo’s experience in theatre is evident in the actors’ stylized movements and the minimalist sets. And it’s this inventive presentation, as well as snide comments about hell’s badassism, that saves the boring-paradise versus tantalizing-hell dichotomy from feeling like a big cliche.
The costumes and sets are a tad formulaic but then the film makes it clear that it thrives on kitsch. In fact Too Young to Die has enough quirk and kitsch to be cult, if it wasn’t for the clever humor.

This movie doesn't need a serious and heavy review.
It doesn't have black holes, the plot isn't sloppy and the characters are played BRILLIANTLY by their actors.
Kamiki Ryunosuke doesn't know how to disappoint people. Nagase Tomoya knows exactly how to make us laugh.
This movie can't be summarized like this : Cool kids go to hell and become rock stars after dying, nice kids go to Heaven and sleep in creepy white rooms after dying.
Definitely, a must watch.

Of course Kamiki Ryunosuke is brilliant too - I know him most from Studio Ghibli character's he's voiced and the voice role he played in the brilliant anime movie 'Summer Wars'. Like Nagase, he showed he could act in this movie - the roles they both played were utterly bonkers; but it's just a shame the film was a total mess.
They can't be blamed for the fact this film was complete nonsense and self indulgent trip for the writers and director - Nagase and Kamiki did the BEST work they could in roles that anyone else would've walked away from shaking their heads; the failure of the overall movie is down to the seemingly tiny budget, bad writing and awful directing.
I'm giving this 3.5/10 ONLY because of the sterling work by Nagase Tomoya and Kamiki Ryunosuke.
