That's not really an anime exclusive trope, and non-anime fans, imo, are just as likely to praise sappy, cheap storylines about special, sweet girls dying.

No it is wayyy more common and fetishists in anime

I'm sorry but it is

At the very least there's a specific mind of dead girl story you don't see much outside of it

I've not noticed this at all. Western media absolutely loves romance involving girls dying. I hate the trope in general because I hate anything with forced sentimentality, and plenty of "main stream" fans eat it up, too. But I guess those things are less likely to have fandoms so maybe that's why it seems skewed to you?

Edgar Allan Poe said "the death of a beautiful woman is, unquestionably, the most poetical topic in the world. " So it's at least been a thing in western media in the past.

This. I remember back in the day when everyone I knew was raving about A Walk to Remember and said it was one of the best movies ever. When I eventually gave in and watched it, it was...just not very good. I mean, sure, I cried while watching it and was briefly tricked into thinking that it was good but when I actually really, really thought about the movie later I realized that it kind of sucked. Unfortunately, a lot of people believe that a movie (or whatever) is automatically high quality just because it made them sad.

It doesn't even have to be a woman though (but it does help if there is one and there's a romantic aspect). People fucking love movies when kids die tragically

Argh, A Walk to Remember was exactly the kind of movie I hate.
