Castlevania would have a scene of construction - often with a sense of central, scientific planning offered by learned characters (Sypha, Isaac) - where Tolkien would have had the rural simplicity and petty concerns of Hobbiton.
The differences in worldview are really striking in that way - viewed from the Shire, Castlevania's ideal society seems scientific, technocratic, directed into being by humans anointed with capital-k Knowledge. One wonders how free the hobbits would feel there.
(Knowledge is a running motif in Castlevania from the first scene to the last too) By contrast, Tolkien's world worth fighting for is one in which the Sackville Bagginses would be free to live their petty, foolish lives and make their own petty, foolish mistakes.
I have to admit, my sympathy is more with the Shire than Castlevania's centrally directed rebuilding (the show's paternalistic attitude towards regular people is something I found off-putting). Too often in fiction and life, utopias are built for planners, rather than people.
A big part of that is that Castlevania's narrative is essentially about progress through secular knowledge - introduced as a theme in the very first flashback scenes. Consequently regular people are mostly presented as ignorant, paranoid bigots unless enlightened by Knowledge.
Still, it is nice to see a work which actually does the legwork of explaining what is good about the world (or could be so in the future) that demands saving. It seems many authors forget that there had to be a Shire in order for it to be Scoured and for that to have meaning.
