Yes, the anime changes quite a few things in the ending. The biggest one being some of Tomozaki's internal monologue regarding Mimimi. I think the LN version is superior to the anime version.

In the light novel since Tomozaki is cognizant of Mimimi's feelings for him, he doesn't want to lean on her because he is worried that he will fall for her if she comforts him, kind of like a rebound girl, which isn't fair to her. Despite that, his emotions start going haywire when she grabs hold of him and he can feel his emotions taking control over his logical side when she interrupts his train of thought by blurting out that Kikuchi is in the library. Mimimi might even recognize that herself, although it is based off of Tomozaki's perspective, so we could be reading into something being there that isn't.

Tomozaki's conversation with Fuuka is pretty close to the LN. It is worth remembering that the play is Fuuka's story told from her perspective. So, her decision to pair Libra (Tomozaki) with Alucia (Aoi) is her way of rejecting Tomozaki. That's why the series spends so much time on the play as part of Fuuka's story arc. Here's my explanation for the importance of the play from another forum thread: Every single time they sit down to make changes together it is because something happened to Fuuka that directly preceded the change. Did the class accept Tomozaki's suggestion to do an original work based on Fuuka's story for their play? Kris is excited about exploring the outside world from her garden. Did Fuuka crash and burn when trying to direct things without Tomozaki's help? Kris realizes the outside world is also ugly and harsh at times. Did Tomozaki show her a way to make friends outside of school? Kris decides to make flower garlands for a living, since she loves doing so, just like Fuuka loves to write stories. Every change reflects a change in Fuuka's emotions from real life events.

The other big difference is that Tomozaki tells Aoi that he plans to take her somewhere later as part of his promise to show her how to enjoy life from the season 1 climax. If they make a season 3, I am guessing it will be shown as a flashback, but Aoi's sister thing is definitely a major future plot point. The author didn't drop it there for no reason.

@Seansy Thanks for your answers. I guess im just gonna wait for a announcement of season 3 or something, i'm not a reader after all but if nothing happens maybe i'll read the LN.

Also, watch out for spoilers without the spoiler tag, maybe you wanna edit that comment.
