@Archer: There are many differences between the LN and the Anime versions. One example Welcome to the NHK (Light Novel and Anime have different endings and focus on different things, ending up like different genres).

And then there are the ones like SAO where the anime skips so many things it just ruins the series and/or change widely the way the audience would feel towards it.
