The two arrive at Târgoviște, where Dracula's campaign against humanity began; exploring the ruins, Trevor finds a magical dagger. A pair of vampires named Varney and Ratko watch over the two, with Varney annoyed at their interference. Meanwhile, Alucard, having since added numerous corpses outside of Dracula's castle, encounters a horse with a dead messenger carrying a map and summons to the village of Danesti, which require his aid.
It never develops its setting in any meaningful way-- about all you know for the duration of the story is that it is generic fantasy-land where people hate witches and bad things happen all the time-- and it throws death and gore at the viewer from the very first episode, when nobody even knows or cares about who Subaru is. It is shocking to see major characters die within the first episode, to be fair, but it no longer feels shocking the second, third or eleventh time.
If there was any consequence to these events, it is immediately brought to nothing by the show's contrived gimmick of rebirth and time-travel. It doesn't really matter if someone does die, as time will conveniently bend backwards for Subaru's sake-- never to the beginning, and always to the last major event in the story. There is no cost and no meaning to anything that happens. Subaru's mistakes are immediately erased upon rebirth, and he can go on about his day with nothing but his own guilt holding him back.
