On Character/Plot Development Fueled by Character Deaths, it opens several possibilities. For anime industry, they would introduce character in the different angles. For example, a girl called Yuki had a contract with devil. She time travels to Europe and becomes a writer(already dead in history) Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. On her search to return to her world, she encounters another girl called Ludwig van Beethoven(another passed away character in history).
Off topic: It seems Beethoven is considered Tsar of Western Classical music in Asia. Japanese refers Beethoven as Saint of Music(楽聖). On the other hand, Westerners consider as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart of Tsar of Western Classical music.

It works for series like Titan or any type of series where there's a serious threat and must be defended. It'd be pretty unrealistic for everyone to survive in something like, Attack on Titan.
Also, in a murder mystery situation; someone's gotta die. Or in a drama, if used correctly. It's when there's deaths for the hell of it(Blood-C, Devil Survivor) or when someone gets developed, only to be used in the end for a powerup for another character, is when I get pissed. Of course, there are some series where everyone pretty much sucks to the point where you just want the author/creator to kill them just to put them out of their misery... I guess it really depends on the writer themselves in the end: some can do death right like Urobuchi or GRR Martin while others just do it wrong (Kubo, I"m looking at you)
