A more neutral way to put it is that libertarianism and anarchism both value individual freedom, but differ on the role of the state.
Libertarians generally want a minimal state (for things like courts, police, national defense), while anarchists want to eliminate the state entirely.
There are also different kinds of anarchists—some are anti-capitalist, while others (like anarcho-capitalists) overlap more with libertarian ideas.
