Are dark themes in anime becoming more popular?

i think they are lol
many anime are having some deaths and sometimes even the main character deaths.

Most probably they are becoming popular.
Without a good plot point, story wouldn't be able to advance and to make ripples in the anime community what's better than having a dark background for the protagonist or the antagonist?
